    I like it.Being an old man (87) I get a lot of meds so I get a lot of different size containers. I have the bigger container (2") with the locking child proof lid in which get 180 pills. I'm going to use it to make your shield. Thanks. P.S I think the beer I drink is doing a better job then the meds.

    Any handyman who owns such a high quality Dremel 4000 is, in my opinion, also knowledgeable that he can see how the manufacturing process works. If you showed the finished jig in use, you would get by in a tenth of the time for your Video. But the idea is good.

    If I were to make one of these shields, I would choose to use a clear plastic bottle, rather than an amber one. Also, instead of unplugging and plugging back in your AC plug, why not use a switchable multi-outlet power strip where you can just switch it off and back on, in-between blade changes?

    Hi. :) Thank you for such a useful idea, which will make using power tools so much safer. May I make a suggestion, please? You had to hand hold the piece to do the bottom cut; perhaps cutting the long lines, then hand-holding to join the lines to the bottom cut before doing the cut that goes around, may make it sturdier to hold (if that makes sense)? Also, it may be useful to say what speeds you are using, especially as some of the attachments have a speed limit (such as the dangerous circular saw). Many thanks again, and I hope to see many more tips during the future. I have just bought my first rotary too, and am not using it until I research on CZcams all the tutorials I can. :)

    Speaking of safety ... I was holding my breath a bit as you cut the bottle along the length, cutting TOWARDS the hand with which you were stabilizing the bottle. All I could think was the warning when carving/whittling: Never cut towards yourself ... always away. The potential for a bump or slip, a momentary loss of control, and that blade slicing your hand up to your wrist was what I saw in my mind. I am quite confident that you were in complete control, but accidents happen to the most experienced of us. That said, I will add that this is a creative idea. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks and please, be careful. I hope to see 10 fully functioning fingers in your future tutorials! ;-)

    I'ld like to see a video of what happens when a cutting disk shatters and flies apart! I'm a little worried the the container will break away from the top and fly off. The solution the Indian guy posted in a different video, with a container screwed to its top, seemed less likely to break off, though his water-bottle plastic might be more likely to let high-speed shards break through than one of these bottles.

    • @fmphotooffice5513
      @fmphotooffice5513 Před 3 lety +1

      Agreed. Untested methods are suspect. It might just create more debris to fly into your face when the cutter shatters, etc.

    Looks good. Totally worthless as a shield, but looks good. An impact shield, especially for saw blades at high rpm, cannot be made from just any old plastic. Clear pill bottles are just polypropylene. What is needed for an impact guard is either metal, or lexan. The plastic you used will break, puncture, or shatter upon impact. The lid attachment? It will just pop off like it was held on by nothing more than a piece of tape. It cannot be called a blade guard when every part of the system will fail when the guard is needed the most -- broken mandrel, accidental impact, broken blade retainer screw, or a broken or bent blade. All of these things can and do happen. That device would not prevent injury from any of them, as even the accidental impact would pop the guard off of the unit. Even if it managed to stay on, the blade would chew through that polypropylene into flesh in an instant. That is what I call a tool shaped object -- It looks like a tool, but will not perform the function of the tool it resembles.

    Looks to me that if tihe blade does not extend beyond the shield you will only have the shield in the way when cutting. This would especially be true if use smaller bits.

    • @flashcraft
      @flashcraft Před 5 lety +1

      The Dremel A550 Rotary Tool Shield Kit costs about $15 at Home Depot, Walmart or Amazon. It comes with 3 other bits you probably already have so I consider it unnecessary but there's an AUTOTOOLHOME Rotary Tool Shield which is the shield only and it costs $5.99 at Amazon. It's the same thing and fits most rotary tools. I haven't bought that one yet so I don't know for sure but it appears the clear plastic shield is thicker than what you'd get from a pill bottle.

    This may be a dumb question but, I bought a set of the "dangerous" saw bits (like the ones from an previous video of yours) and I was wondering if this would alleviate some of my worries about using them?

    To better find a center of a circle, just use a compass or a ruler. Just get the diameter then half of it for the radius with the point on the outer edge and use the marking side by making at least 3 semi circles. That will be the center of the circle. If you don't have a compass. Place the ruler at the diameter, trace the line, do it twice at different locations and where the lines intersect, that's the center point.
