All good info. I have worked with handpieces for well over 50 years in the dental industry. My best advice to beginners is to slow down. Listen to the strain on the handpiece as you go. The sound of the handpiece and control of the cutting bit will regulate the safe speed and pressure to make accurate cuts. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for your wisdom.

I caught myself blowing on the screen to move the saw dust lol 😆 😂 😅

THANK YOU! Oh my goodness, this is so helpful. My husband let me have his old Dremel so I can try carving some smaller wood pieces. I was getting so frustrated and scared when the tool kept 'getting away' from me. I'm now waiting on a cutting glove to arrive and watching all the wood carving videos I can. :)

Thank you from a newbie in Philadelphia.

I haven’t even started carving and I can already tell I’m going to refer to this constantly

Excellent video.
Because of you, I have started power wood carving. I ran out and purchased a few rotary tools and I am in the process of learning how to handle the tool. At the moment I am practicing cutting, feathering, depth, angles, types of wood and their cutting characteristics. This video is so important to us beginners. It would be nice if you did a whole video series about beginning wood carving.
Thank you so much. 💕❤️💕❤️💕

In my opinion the bit chatter happens because the bit wants to grab the right side and that pulls it downward, then it contacts the left side of the cut and it gets pulled upwards. Now imagine it happening rapidly over and over and you have chatter. Hold the bit more vertical and the motion of the chatter will change to forward and backward instead of up and down.

I had to follow you the second that your #1 “wasn’t” to wear leather gloves 😂🫵🏼🙌🏼
Ok I’ll finish watching now. I have no doubt it will be worth it 👍🏼

vibration is also an enemy here. try to use good work holding and dont let the piece vibrate. once it happens it starts resonating, which increases vibration, and that feedback loop can be dangerous.

Jordy didnt point that out here, but im sure when carving he would have the piece secure. In hand or otherwise.

Great advice. Been a Dremel user for 30+ years, and just got a Foredom TX Square Drive. Love the power, but I notice 2 things. The grabbing and jumping is worse with a flex shaft than with a direct drive tool (I'm guessing it the 'windup' of the shaft that makes it worse). Also, keep the RPM up, while this seems counter intuitive, as you would think it would be easier to control at low speed, the tendency to grab is proportional to speed, the slower the bit is turning, the more likely it is to catch. The Foredom has so much torque that if it grabs, you have NO chance of hanging on and stalling it out like you can with a Dremel. It will just wrap the shaft around itself and keep coming until your brain reengages and you lift off the pedal. Ask me how I know. I can also confirm the Kutzall extremes hurt, the Saburrtooth bits are worse, and the Typhoons hurt the worst. Again, I bled, so, hopefully so you won't (at least as much).

Thanks Jordy.
PS - Added a cheap wire tip burner to the kit recently, (they're pretty safe, from a bleeding standpoint anyway). How about some tips on using the burner effectively? I just know you have some secret tricks..

That was a good video, showing some useful tips with that monster Kutzal extreme burr... You saved "beginner carver's" skin (literally) unnecessary pain and blood loss!... Thanks.

For beginners it would help to have that wood clamped - reduce the jumping especially if you are not strong enough to hold it down firmly. This type of bur is for rough cut-outs where one side is deeper than the other - not good for clean thinner lines.

Excellent!! exactly the question I had as I was becoming increasingly frustrated with this; Not only that, a safety issue for me as I am a surgeon and can't afford any injuries of the hands.. thanks again for the info

[stephennickles]

Thanks again Jordy, you may have saved me from an urgent care visit

[ashmxuth]

just got into this as a hobbyist thank you lol

Been carving waxes for the jewelry industry for over 50 years and carving wood for 30. I would "NEVER use that shape of burr for curved lines! Thats one reason you're bouncing because of that and you're trying to bite off too much wood at once! Please use a round burr! A lighter hand at the right moments can make all the difference! Also I wouldn't be carving against the grain but turn the piece so that the burr is spinning off and down an edge rather than up an edge! Ofcourse this is a very rough demo so I get it😊
Enjoy yourself!

[pegjackson]

Thank you, that was very educational. It's great that you take the time to help those of us who are new to this craft. So many videos have no talking and you just can't pick up anything useful from them. You take the time to teach and demonstrate and we really do appreciate that.

[Deadeye]

Fantastic tip. 👍🍁✌️. By the way, this is how guys who don’t learn from this will be ordering 5 beers when this BS we are all going through when get out of this . Stay safe, see when the all clear is sounded☘️🇨🇦✌️

[alejandrosilvestre]

Muchas gracias amigo, me ayudas con tus consejos estoy recién comenzando en esto

[efo]

Chaafer! Working with the grain!! It’s good, but you know that wood grains are and tear it up, just don’t work against the grain! 👍
