Reddit mentions: The best power drum sanders

I don't really know. I've never had very good luck with the stones. I think the most useful dremel accessories for grinding away material is either use the sanding drums like these or use rasps/burrs coated in diamond or tungsten carbide like these.

For the brushes, the silver ones are steel or stainless steel, and the brown ones are usually brass. They'll have different effects on different materials based on the hardness. I've used the stainless brushes on steel before to clean it and kind of give it a texture.

For buffing/polishing of things like painted surfaces you'll want something like this or this and some sort of buffing compound. Most dremel accessory kits usually come with 1 or 2 buffing attachments.

Thank you! I have experienced some very strong kick back with my dewalt box planer with end grain boards. Some say that if you go very slow and take light passes it will be fine. After mine broke chunks of wood off and projected them out, I decided to invest in a drum sander,

I bought this one a month ago: Jet 16-32

Couldn't be happier with it. Prior to purchase I had grown weary of sanding cutting boards and had them beginning to pile up as I tried different glue ups. It handles the dust very well and was worth every penny. After getting 90% of the sanding done with this machine with 120 grit. I finish off with 220 in an orbital hand sander to smooth out before oiling.

I also invested in these for gluing and have loved them Clamps. I'd recommend them to anyone gluing segmented boards.

I got one of these from Amazon, it has #80, #120, #240 grit drums. Though the #240 is a little better, it's still not going to be really smooth. Alternatively, you can use the grinding stone bits which work really well in smoothing things out. After any sanding, you should hit the foam with heat to close out the pores and run your hand along the foam to help smooth it a little.

You can probably use a dremel, but things like a flap disk or belt sander would remove material faster. If you already have a drill press and want to save money, you can get these which are inexpensive, but for ~$10-$15 more, you can get an angle grinder and flap disk.

This website has a lot of handle materials and spacers. But there are plenty of other websites, too. Plus I don't know if they ship outside the U.S.

Singura solutie mai safe, e smirghelul, dai cu flexul daca nu ai altceva si iei ce e mai mare, dupa care pui un smirghel pe-o bucata de lemn si ii dai bice, in cateva minute e gata.

Sau iti iei si tu o masina de calibrat, ca oamenii botezati. Am una ca cea din link, face minuni. Gasesti mult mai ieftine pe olx.

You mentioned a router... How about getting a router with a variable speed motor and chucking up a 1/4" shank sanding drum? You will have decent control over the grit and you'll be able to easily guide the router around the curves.

McMaster has a good selection of sanding sleeves.

Invest in some drill drum sander parts like this:

Mount your drill in a vise (if you don't have a press) and it will make your sanding effort a lot easier in those hard to reach places.

Depends on the dremel OP has; I've had a few over the years that were strong enough that a small router bit would work; assuming of course you can find one that would chuck into their tiny-ass collets.

Alternatively, with a bit of finesse OP could use a drum-mandrel

You should be able to get these at your local hardware store for pretty cheap. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001XQMRH4/ref=pd_aw_sims_1?pi=SL500_SR115%2C115&refRID=082YF0H44WVZT0N8EWN7

Maybe take a drill, place it in a vise, the use a drum sanding drill bit like these? https://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D3292-Drum-Sanding-16-Piece/dp/B001XQMRH4/ref=br_lf_m_bv4y9v7p5tba8wp_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&s=hi

I ordered these a little while ago...not as long as the ones in the video but for $11.40 you can't go wrong.

I either use these:

Of the correct size. I put them on a drill press or they can be used in a drill

No, that was my own mega beyblade. We set this one up by ripping the spinner thingy (not to get too technical) from the bottom of the launcher. It's just a plastic piece. I hold it up at the end. I then took one of my sanding bits, took off the sand paper, fed the screw through the hole in the plastic piece and put it all together.

It would have lasted longer if I'd put a small washer on both sides of the hole. As it was, the screw was just barely big enough to not drop through the screw.
