Edge Burnisher For Dremels

[Spinner]

Hey Richard - I got your PM so you are already on the list...we're good to go

Ghostrider - not a problem, I'll add ya

Big O - I'll see what I can do about those sizes. Shouldn't be an issue.

Panther - Will do. I'd be interested in seeing the pictures.

Bevan - You're cracking me up. I'll add ya to the list and let you know on the postage. If you can send me a message with your city/state/postal code info I can get an estimate for you when I'm at the post office next week.

I haven't even received the first shipment of bits and I already need to order more...you folks are turning this into a job! LOL

another variation of this would be with a drill that you could chock these in, i have a 1/4 " nut and bolt in my edge slicker from tandy, i throw that in my drill and get very good results.

Will you ship to UK? If so I'll take two, one of each size, PM prices and I'll pay thru Paypal. Cheers in advance..

Hey Shoemaker, I already have some slated to go to Sweden and Puerto Rico so the UK is no problem. I'll add you to the list.

Hey Panther, Now I remember, I have seen the big one on LW before I believe. Thanks for the photos.

I had thought about getting one of those but then thought later I wanted something less bulky for the dremel since it's at my desk and the drills, etc. are outside in the shop.

You struck the jackpot with this one spinner. Four pages and still growing. You need to make sure that it does not take over your life and put your leatherwork on hold. I used one on my dremel a few years ago but it was too fast and burnt the leather so I gave it a miss. When my father was alive some twenty years ago he made one from the motor on a Singer Sewing Machine complete with foot pedal which gave him "hands free" operation. I've been on the lookout for one ever since but with no luck. It probably means buying a new dremel with a slow speed. Can anyone advise me on the best model Dremel.

we are on the same road but a turn around of items. in my case i was looking for a dremel, but with scarcity here of working tools i resorted to the singer motor your talking about since its readily available here. there are other brands better than singer. and yes, they came with a pedal. its great the speed is just ok. the problem i have with is i am looking for a way to either open it so i can device something inside to hold the burnishing shank of spinner. or maybe cut the small chuck from my multi screw driver handle and weld it to the motor shank so i can hold any size shank. and another option is to drill a hole at the side of the motor shank and insert the burnisher shank and screw it from the side just like how a swivel knife barrel holds the blade. for now i need to see what will hold spinners burnishing shank on this motor, i might order from spinner like everyone here. great looking wheels. kudos to spinner.

Actually, many of the new Dremels have a variable speed control knob. I found that using these at around the #5 mark (half speed) works pretty nicely.

Harbor Frieght and many of the other bulk tool stores have knock off brands for half the price that work equally well for this sort of thing. The other trick I found is to rub a thin coat of wax on the edge before burnishing so it slicks without burning.

I sent out PMs and emails to those interested. Unfortunately I ran out of PMs allowed for the day, so if you didn't get a message I'll send the info tomorrow or you can start a conversation with me earlier.

I have the materials for the first batch with the next batch materials getting here Monday or Tuesday so I should be able to start shipping as early as Wednesday.

Thanks,

Chris

I'll just make things easy for folks so we can move this off the forum; doesn't seem to belong in the "show Off" area anymore.
