    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    Thanks BillE and Muddyoldgoat for your experience sharing. Guess the idea will not work then. The next best thing should be hand drill I guess, since M14 to drill shaft adapter is easily available, albeit it is not as ergonomic as the Dremel.

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    Thanks Daviddear30. It is definitely a wild idea from me and I am not sure how well it will turn out. Experiment definitely needed.

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    I found something that might be useful. It uses an adapter for a DA backing plate and it only goes down to 2" backing plate. But I guess is a good start to try.

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    But my local workshop says unless I am ordering a bulk of this adapter otherwise he will not do it for me for a single unit. So at this moment I cannot use this suggestion but I know it will definitely works.

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    Yes I agree the Dremel speed range is way too fast compare to a conventional rotary buffer (0-3000 RPM). The Dremel 4000 series has speed range of 5000-35,000 RPM. The Rupes Nano iBrid has range 2000-5000 RPM. I am thinking to use very light pressure when using it for this purpose. I would...

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    Really? it looks pretty powerful in my opinion, can cut, grind, polish, and saw through many metal and wood material. But I can't be sure and stand to be corrected.

    Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool

    Hi there. I have been wondering is there any tool/adapter/backing plate out there that is suitable to fit into a Dremel rotary tool (which usually used for metal and wood working) so that the Dremel rotary tool converted into a spot polishing tool, capable of using 1" and 2" polishing pad, just...

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    Hey guys so far all the replies are very much appreciated but they are not really answering my question. My question is if you only have degreaser and all purpose cleaner, in this case two separate products, which one will you use for cleaning wheel, wheel wells and tires, and why is that? I...

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    Sound like a cost effective product unfortunately I think it is not imported here. Thanks for the info anyway. I believe it is not available in my country. But we have local company here manufacturing their own APC and degreaser and they are quite affordable, so far I am using them. The ZEP...

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    Good point there toycar18 on the potential risk of acidic cleaner used on wheel. If you were only have degreaser and APC, which you will use on the wheel, tyres and wheel wells? About the Sonax wheel cleaner and Iron X, it is not effective on cleaning tyres right?

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    I have it. But it is sold quite expensive here so I not keen to use it on a weekly basic. I usually only use it when I encounter some really hard to clean grime. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Indeed a lot of people use OPC for everything. :xyxthumbs:

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    If Wikipedia (cleaning agent) is accurate then I think there is a slight difference, i.e. degreaser is specifically made for removal of grease. Well the name of the product kind of implies it already so maybe this description is kind of trivial. Nevertheless, I am always think that both are...

    Which cleaner more suitable for wheel, tyres, and wheel wells, Degreaser or All Purpose Cleaner?

    I think degreaser and all purpose cleaner are both alkaline in chemical property. Since brake dust is iron, it does not react with alkaline but easily react with acid, I am thinking I should find some acidic cleaner for wheel, but I have never come across acidic degreaser or acidic all purpose...
