    What is the black base material that you epoxied the sandpaper to on the rod?

    I'll have to try this method. I've had those small dremel drums sitting in my dremel case for years because I never bothered to buy new sandpaper rolls. Thanks for sharing!

    My first attempt had the epoxy seep through the paper barrier I used, so I'll have to try it again. I'm living in my college dorm currently, so it'll be a summer project once the semester ends. Along with my growing list of projects to do lol.

    Hello, thank you for sharing the information, as a beginner this is all very interesting to me. Lately I have been interested in tools and try to do a lot with my own hands. Now I'm in the process of choosing a dremel I have a certain hesitation and I want to get something from this review https://drilling-it.com/best-dremel-...cutting-metal/. Thank you.

    Thank you very much Doth.
    First of all you need safety glasses ,mask , earplugs and gloves for your safety. When you buy a dremel you can work with the parts contained in the package then you can find what you need.
