About Diamond burrs for stone crafting with Dremel type tools.

Показать описание

I use a range of diamond coated burrs with my Dremel type rotary grinder. This is a short "about" video. I use Parkside rotary grinders and Ferrex flex tools but this applies to any make of tool. My interest is stone agate and marble carving and engraving but these diamond tools can be used on many other types of material.

If you would like to see examples of my professional stone engraving work

Thank you to Megapaul for the great intro music "Mandolina Smith"

Great informative video . I do a lot of carving on antler and bone and because of this I can run them dry a lot without damage (Bone & antler being so soft in comparison ) . I use water when working on stone . I do have one beef with these bits and that is the fact that they are not color coordinated to determine grit size . how hard would it be to do a primary color scheme on the shank for easy identification ( I guess thats my job, lol ) . Until that happens though you better make sure they go back into the right container . I think these burrs can now come all the way to a 600 grit now . Thx for sharing

Very informative lecture, indeed! Detailed, precise, and illuminating especially for a beginner like myself. I wish I had listened to you before I bought a set of 1/4" burrs, which I do not have a machine for unless there is some kind of an adaptor I could use on my Dremel 3000 !! Thank you very much!

Very helpful thank you! currently working on my first stone carving as a gift for my mum !

1/4" will work with a air die grinder, really handy tool, works with a larger air compressor. If you need to chew off a lot of material, open holes etc, that's what you want

Thanks for clarifying the different grits!!

Very good video. Was watching as this is a hobby I would definitely pick up on. Although I have a question. What's it take to carve on granite? I work at a granite shop and take home some left over sink cut outs that I've had millions of ideas to carve and or engrave on the stone but will these work for said material? Thank you for your time!

Thank you for the information! I am new to the hobby and just bought my first rotary tool and the exact set of mastercraft diamond burrs that you have in the video (which also happened to be the only ones in 2 different hardware stores). I have done a lot of pumpkin and wood carving with a rotary tool, but working with quartz and granite is a different world so far lol.

I bought this kit of 50 tips but I have a problem with they wear out very quickly, I do not know if it is the originals or counterfeit. Is it normal that they wear out so quickly?

Thank you, this demystified diamond bits for me. So apparently even the quality diamond bits wear out quickly. I bought some pointy bits that don’t even feel rough on the end. I didn’t realize that until I bought them and could feel them with my fingers.

What about sintered diamond burr? Do they work just as well as the coated diamond burr on stone?

Many thanks for this treatise on diamond burrs, very informative. I was just wondering if you had a video that deals with the initial shaping of a stone work and then how it is smoothed out and blended through subsequent finer grit burrs ? And then a final polish. At present I am interested in learning to carve jade and trying to develop the best work flow

This was informative. The only thing I heard from someone else was that he would prefer a much smaller shaft when trying to drill a deep hole. If the shaft is bigger than the drill head. You can't drill deeper than the head itself. The shaft needs to be thinner than the drill head so you can drill deeper.

Hi there, thought I'd watch your video before starting to use diamond bits on my Dremel so that I would use them properly. Would I be right in thinking that you submerge the workpiece in a bowl of water while carving it?
