I've done something similar with an old set of target storm points. I place the dart in the drill, straight barrel, and started with sandpaper to get the rest of the black coating off. Then, gently used a metal file in a criss cross formation. They came out nice. I do have a dremel tool I may try on another set soon. Nice video.
i've thought about possibly getting a metal paint in a can for the points to combat the rusty look they get after a while, but that'd go straight off when you'd refresh ur grip with the tool so im not sure if its worth the money/time
Could you do a more in-depth video on how to do all the different drips on the points as I want to learn a few different types and I can’t find any other tutorials
Hi mate, very useful video. Which point length do you think MVG used during his prime years? Close up pics suggest it was quite long. If you do know then please say the total length not just the section that protrudes from the barrel. Cheers
@WarrsSnooker no idea mate unfortunately. I don't think it was as long as you see now but definitely longer than standard so perhaps a 36/38mm point in total length
@WarrsSnooker Yeah that's fine. Just don't force the points as far as they would go otherwise it widens the hole and they can fall out. I've repointed my custom darts at least 10 times in the last 3/4 years
@ Allen keys aren’t rough to start with a file roughs them up. Not using from week to week they rust just as good also. Simon is an old friend of mine he’s a unique man.

@Darren4032 yeah i used to do this, it works well for a milder grip which i actually prefer
Ahhh, the good ol' poor man's lathe. Use it all the time.

@@braMM I'd stick with the rusty look personally. It doesn't look so bad and just a quick twirl in some sandpaper should remove a lot of it
Nice vid Kurt! I’m going to do that to some of mine

Unfortunately these are really the only ways I know how with my equipment. I will keep experimenting though

Cheers mate, lastly, is it okay to change points more than once with the same barrels.
@WarrsSnooker Yeah that's fine. Just don't force the points as far as they would go otherwise it widens the hole and they can fall out. I've repointed my custom darts at least 10 times in the last 3/4 years
Would that work on Swiss points? Id like to try this but don’t want to risk snapping them
@@maul-_-2126 it would but yeah you'd need to be careful. Don't push on them too much
@ thank you I’ll definitely try to do this on the weekend then
@@MatadorDarts I’ve tried it on Swiss points and works really I’ll try the dimple on them soon
Hi mate, do I need to spin the drill aswell as the rotary tool?
@@TheElliottStar yeah it means you get a more even surface and don't get any flat edges
Thanks for showing
Super Groovy Dude Great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there any point if you don’t touch the tip during the throw?
@-_Blitz_- yeah this grip is more suited for people looking for the points to grip better in the board
@ oh right I see, thanks
Good video Kurt
Thanks mate!
What brand of rotatory tool do u have?
@taylormills3879 it's just some cheap one off amazon as I only use them for my own points. Terratek I think it's called
Another idea is to dip the point in epoxy resin let excess run off and sprinkle very fine sand on it.
Not heard that one before
@ I’m an Aussie we are an unconventional lot.
Cheers for the reply mate.
I thought you aussies just made them rough as fuck out of allen keys, hahahhaa.
@ Allen keys aren’t rough to start with a file roughs them up.

Due to add more grip than the old sandpaper and drill method and a lot less faffing about
