    Fantastic idea! And they don't explode like the ceramic ones Dremel sells.

    What kind of bit are you using to drill the arbor holes in the center of the disk?

    Thank you very much guys!!!!! Im so happy you like it!

    Yes natie123 and its easy. You can try it.

    VinnieL yes they dont explode and you have more cuts!

    cmarlow Im use my old drill bits because worn out. You can make about 50 disc with 1 drill bit or you can do it with a new drill bit with your hands it take more time but it does not destroy the drill bit.

I'm lucky as mine goes down to 5000 rpm. Can't & dont want to imagine a grinders cutting disc at 35000 somewhat like placing a drill bit in a quarter inch router or a die grinder. Disintegrating discs cause havoc.
