Hi all, well thanks to Dennis's fabulous guide, I've pretty much worked out what most of my Dremel toys are for. Which leads me to my next dopey question, what order do you do things in? At the moment, I:
Make the thing (I tend to use silver, copper and brass with cabs and sometimes faceted stones)
File the rough edges
Fine sandpaper to smooth
...and it all gets a bit confusing after that! I have a tumbler with steel shot and burnishing soap; polishing papers; flexshaft with diamond burrs & graded rubber polishing doozits; felt wheels with Dialux red, white and blue; steel brushes, brass brushes; ultrasonic.
I suspect I have slightly too many things here, and as I am trying to show a friend how to make stuff, I want to put a workflow together for her (as well as being more productive with my own time!)
Many thanks for any forthcoming advice!
Melanie
