Picking Dremel Tool Bits for Making Recycled Jewelry

Hi, I am Jason. Today I am shooting on behalf of Expert Village.com. We are making a beaded charm necklace using found items. All the materials we are using are recycled materials. We are going to clean all the edges on our pieces with a Dremel. There are three basic bits that we use. A nice bit like this will cut a lot of big stuff away, but is probably too much bit for this. The second is a sanding bit used to smooth things up and it will cut quite fast. Our third option is a tiny fine grit bit. As these are all soft materials, we will first use the soft one on the two beads and next, change it out for a rougher one to clean up the charm. We will first want to make sure that our bit is in tight. Push down on the lock and with the wrench loosen it, feeling to make sure it is where you want it. Leave about 1-1 1/2 inches out. Tighten it up and we are ready to clean the edges up.
