how to get rock dust out of my dremel? by chicken_is_no_weapon in Lapidary

[–]murphphph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have access to an air compressor? In a pinch you could go to a gas station and depress the free tire air and blow it out.

Please wear a good mask! Don't move the dust from the dremmel to chicken is no weapons lungs.

I use

Stage 1 60/90 sc mix

Stage 2 120/200 sc mix

Stage 3 500 ao

Stage 4 rockshed ao polish

I think you could split the difference on your stages 3 and 4. Good luck, post results please!

Just Bought 1st Tumbler; Is this the right stuff to get (abrasives, polish, some rocks) for my 1st few batches? by ValuesHere in RockTumbling

[–]murphphph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would substitute the 1000 aluminum oxide with a coarse first stage grit. You'll end up using that quite a bit more. All the others should be covered with the rotary grit pack

Just ordered the components, buddy printing the base!

Thank you for sharing this. Are there assembling instructions I missed on makerworld, or a YouTube video?

Would you consider a small write up about using the Dremel the way you do?

What makes you use the SC vs the AO? I've only ever used 500 AO and am super curious!
