I'm looking for a good source for a diamond Drum to be used with my Dremel tool. I have been buying some from a source on ebay, www.ebay.com/itm/Diamond-Wheel-Lapidary-Grinding-Tool-3-4-x-3-8-Fits-Dremel-/224070283162, and they are pretty good. They're 3/4 X 3/8 in size and are electroplated nickel I believe. They work great, but wear out pretty quickly grinding hard stones like jasper and agate, which is most of what I grind.

Anyone have suggestions for a better, longer-lasting Dremel grinding tool?

Thanks in advance!!

Do a search for sintered diamond burs. Sintered burs will last a lot longer than the plated ones, but they are also expensive.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Sorry I can't help with those kinds of burrs.
These are the types that I use- primarily the larger, flat ones:

manofglass sent me a link a while back for some good ones but I can't seem to find it.
If I do I'll let you know!

Found it, rockrat60.
These are what I got, not super-long lasting but they're affordable and I don't need to get a ton of extra bits that I'll never use.

rocknrob: That was one heck of a windstorm that thankfully missed me. I guess Seatac almost hit 60mph gusts. I bet those were some fun landings Nov 20, 2024 21:55:16 GMT -5
