    Default Dremel Tutorial

    Some time ago I posted a Dremel tutorial written by Roberto Musica and edited by me. It is handy for people just getting into these tools and also contains some interesting info and hints for seasoned players.

    There have been a lot of updates since that was written and I was looking at it the other day thinking that it needed a serious update. I will probably do that soon to take into account the new accessories and to do some more cleanup of the language.

    Enjoy.

    I have made a significant update to the tutorial. I have added some additional material (especially on CBN) I have renamed many of the sections and updated the wording. Please have a read and let me know what you think. Always open to suggestions and recommended updates.

    It seems to have a steady flow of traffic and is by far the most visited of my pages.

    Default Working On Aluminium

    Thanks for this Yanis. Where it suggest that Working On Aluminium
    Practically all bits get clogged with aluminum. Aluminum is soft and easily fills up the small spaces between the grinding particles or cutting teeth of your bits so that the bits cease to work. Cutters are hard to clean, but grinding stones can be cleaned with the Dressing Stone.
    Kerosene is normally used on metal working tools for aluminium. I've not tried it on the Dremel tool tips, but can't see why it wouldn't work.

    Yes, I do mention Kero later but your are right, I will add that to this section.

    Oh, and ... if someone can recommend a good background I would be much obliged. That old one is very 90s I'm afraid.

    Great tutorial, thanks for sharing. As for backgrounds something very neutral. As I have a wide screen the text becomes very wide and more difficult to read. Maybe consider some text boxes.

    Yanis, I strongly recommend dropping the background entirely. Plain black type on a white background is universally easy to read and does not have the problem of looking 'cute' on a page containing instructions and advice. The notebook page you are using at present is just distracting the eye from your excellent content. Just my $0.02

    I have made many revisions, corrections clarifications and amendments of the language to make it read better. I think I picked up most of the mistakes If anyone wants to proof it for me I would be much obliged. John

    Kero works great on Dremel tips but I find it very messy. Methylated spirits works almost as well and doesn't leave a mess. I got this tip from my BIL who is a boat builder.
    Hard wax (just rub it along the work line and onto bits) also works really well and is not as flammable

    To grow old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

    Just going outside the box a bit - how would chalking the Dremel grinder work - as you would a metal file for filing soft metals? Maybe it would just spray off with the high revs?
