First time using my Dremel to polishing rocks I found at Goat Rock beach in Bodega Bay, CA. I using some sanding bits that I got from Amazon with a grit of 50 to 10,000. I used my Dremel 4000 at a speed of 10 and connected my shaft to make it easier to work with.

Hello. I am going to be trying to polish some
of my rocks that I found at Bodega Bay Beach for
goat rock. I found these.
I want to try to see about polishing them
a little bit more. I am
using my Dremel 4000 sanding bits that I'm going
to try and use that I bought from Amazon. Comes
from
$50
all
the
way
up
to
$10,000.
Try
and
see
about
polishing
this
one
first.
This
is
one
that
One that I haven't done yet.
I feel that this one feels a lot more smoother than this one.
I know at least something's working.
Moving
on
to
the
150,
1,000.
Into
the
1,500,
2,000.
5,000,
the
6,000.
Into
the
10,000,
I
am
starting
to
noticing
some
shine.
Should have probably looked earlier.
Here's on to the final one, 10,000.
You
see
the
shiny
is
really
smooth.
With the water,
it does help make it,
like I've sprayed
some stuff on there.
Once it dries up, it doesn't look as shiny.
So I've heard that I guess if you get mineral oil,
I did notice
using the bits here
sanding,
it pretty much stayed
on the whole time that I was doing it.
The only time I noticed something that was a little off
was when I used the 800,
but other than that, it stayed on.
Clean the shaft really did help.
I know that my hand would have been very sore
if I would have used just this part.
Using the shaft,
did help.
Look forward
to trying
it again
and perhaps
trying
this one
and how this
one would look.
I would like to try this one.
That one would also turn
out too.
I've got quite a few collections here
of just rocks that I collected once again at
Goat Rock in Bodega Bay.
I've got plenty more to try
to see about polishing up.
I'd say using
the Dremel did work.
It is time consuming.
You do have to take a break.
I had to get up at least twice now.
Because of my back, but other than that, I had a good time trying out
my first time using the Dremel on the sanding, polishing up some rocks.
Thanks again, I hope you enjoyed.
