Safety is a major importance when working with power tools. Watch how to make a safety sheild for your Dremel rotary tool. The parts for this accessory can be found for free in most homes.
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.
Great addon especially when the sparks start to fly
This is a lot cheaper than buying the dremal shields, Thank You for a awesome idea 😎
You're welcome 😊
Well done thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try
It truly is an awesome idea! I tend to use my Dremel a lot! I could find many uses for this shield. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely something I'll try, makes a good test for my new dremel that's gonna arrive soon
Wow I'm new to this craft but already it has me hooked, can't wait to do my first project!! Loved the tutorial!
Thanks for watching.
That is a super great idea. That's going to be my Sunday project.
An excellent video, easy to understand and very useful! Keep up the good work.
As you explained what and how you where going to make your plastic gard and how you explained it. I never gave it much of a thalt but some little thangs that can save the eyes of people that has power tools. And thanks for that tip
Helpful video....
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for liking
i like it. thank you so much for the video. your voice is clear, no background music. new young youbtuber ussualy put background music, so their voice becom not clear.
thank you so much.
🙏😁
Thank you. Please subscribe and hit the thumbs up and the bell.
Great project, I just finished making the safety shield. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching.
I have seen others make a similar one out of a water bottle but in my opinion, the shield was too flexible.
Excellent DIY shield, thanks
that's something I never thought about, pretty cool Idea there, now I can make me one thank you.
Thank you, this is just what I need.
And the price is right!
Thanks for watching.
nicely done
Thanks!
Brilliant idea. Thanks
thanks I'm trying to learn how to use my Dremel I fell two and a half stories from a roof so I am doing what I can at home I'm making jewelry and walking sticks and a bar and a desk different things thanks!
Glad I could help
Hey I got a new Bauer Dremel with a cord to it do I need to oil it ?
I wouldn't say "perfect", but it
is something... Better than nothing... But it will stand in the way of your work since it's so narrow
Bonjour from Montréal, I watched your video and it's a great thing to do for working more safe on certain project.Dan Light
Great idea! You gave me an idea, the same thing you made but with a urine sample Cup, because theyre clear and the plastic isnt brittle.
Now how to get a urine sample cup? lol
LOL..... make sure you get a new one.
The usual well made video. Thanks fir the idea.
Thanks for the kind words.
This was really useful. Thank You.
You're welcome!
Ingenious! Great tutorial. Thanks
Hello. Maybe a clear spice rack bottle. Sometimes get 2/1.$. Plus get spice inside. Lol.
i own cutting discs that specifically specify to put it ALL the way in for security reasons, how come you specify an eight of an inch out from the bottom?
Great idea and very useful,thanks
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.
yes, I'd like to see it in action!
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?
There is no shortcut to safety. I will always unplug a tool before changing bits.
Thanks for watching.
@@ScrollsawVideo Switching off a power strip is the same as unplugging the device. Only faster when making a video!
Quite clever, I just saw your dremel saw blade video and was wondering how were going to make a shield. may be a child proof box would be better so it wouldn't come off easy.
There is a risk that if the chips fill the cavity the lid may explode the cup
Did you watch the entire video? I do see your point but the chips will discharge from the wide cutout on the container.
Your secret is safe with us. We also neglect to unplug between bits. 😃😃😃
LOL....hope our habits improve soon.
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. :)
Excelente idea y practico, se ahorra uno el accesorio de dremel. Saludos desde México
Thanks for the very good tutorial l will make one of those
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! ;-)
Everything you said is true and I appreciate your honesty.
Thanks for watching.
Cool idea.... I will be making one.
thank you i bought a dremet this morning
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.
Agreed. Untested methods are suspect. It might just create more debris to fly into your face when the cutter shatters, etc.
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for that, a good, and needed, idea
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.
Great comment, thanks for sharing.
This is what I call constructive criticism and very valuable material.
Karl
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.
excellent idea
Thank you.
This vid was great, thanks
Genio.very gud
Great ideas Im am going to make me 1 of those... Next time put camera back a bit so we can see everything..
Thanks for the tip, this has always been one of my weaknesses while recording.
So, what is the point of a plastic guard? Will it help if the blade breaks?
Also, why do angle grinders come with guards, but dremels don't?
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.
Also you should try to find an old clamp vise
Pretty nifty sir.
Now thats my kind of engineering! Make something from trash
Put small hole for vacuum port ? Maybe. Good for late night inside jobs and don’t want make big mess in ole ladies kitchen. Lol or bedroom. If she’s not home. Lol.
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? Ever since that video I've been kinda scared to use them but I need to take off a short end of a project.
This guard may slow down the projectile but I would count on it being a total cure. Thanks for the concern.
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.
I have a couple of those I'm disappointed in them I guess what I need is something bigger I use 4 inch grinders and routers so I don't use them much at if anything at all
why the masking tape? why not just use a sharpie to draw the cutout lines directly on the bottle?
A few reasons, First, the sharpie may rub off of the plastic and second, the masking helps to prevent splintering. Thanks for asking.
What a great idea, thank you. One question when you were cutting the bottle you left the machine on for a few seconds after each cut. Was that deliberate, if so why did you do that? I am new to Dremel and haven't the cutting blade yet. You are a good teacher. Ann
Thanks for watching.
No, i didnt leave the tool on for a few seconds for any particular reason, it just turned out that way on this project.
Woodworking & DIY Videos Thanks. l am a real beginner l appreciate your help
Sorry, but using the easy off cap is a bad idea. Use the twist lock caps so the bottle doesnt come off easily. Otherwise good idea.
If you need to unplug your rotary tool every time you change a bit I'd say you probably shouldn't be using a rotary tool.
Sorry but that's just ridiculous. Do you disconnect the battery or unplug your drill every time you replace a bit?
Totally disagree.
This is a common practice for most experienced woodworkers to unplug their tools before changing bits, blades, etc. I have seen many videos and pictures of 'dangers' in the shop and unplugging tools is at the top of the list.
@@ScrollsawVideo like I said, do you also pull the battery out of your cordless drill before you change a bit? And what about a cordless Dremel where you can't even get to the battery?
But hey, you go ahead and unplug your Dremel every time you change a bit, I'll stick with my tried and true method of not turning mine on while I'm changing the bits.
Do as you wish but I hope that one day you will not regret this decision.
Thanks for the comments and please leave more on future videos.
@@ScrollsawVideo I will and I will. In all other respects I found your video informative. I just think that goes a little too far. And no solution for it answer to the question of battery power or rechargeable
Big duferent...20.dollar vs .drumerll.50 dollar es Big diferent
I once bought a hyper though demel and it all most cought me on fire
My dremel quit working :(
Why not just get a grinder?
Some people do not have room for a grinder. Also, a rotary tool has so many more uses than a grinder.
Drimell.vs..dewall.
50 dollar.vs 110.dollar
9:57 Do not do this! This is super dangerous and it might hurt you. You should always bottom the bits down the chuck.
Incorrect, Due to the bore hole not being squared off at the bottom, bits should not be inserted completely in the shaft hole. This is also true to all routers as well.
Bits should never be bottomed. Don't you know the bottom has a slight bevel. That goes for a lot of tools. Hard to believe that you posted before fact checking.
lol, always like cheap alternatives which show how riduclous official accessory costs are.
