  • @7brothers Different rotary tools vary in price. You can find them at most hardware stores and home improvement centers nationwide. Call Dremel Customer Service for more details at 1-800-437-3635 M-F from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CST.

  • Try giving Dremel Customer Service a call. You can most likely send the tool in for maintenance free of charge. 1-800-437-3635

  • It'll only take you all day to polish one thing. *smh*

  • @cableaddict agreed. I have a whole bunch of chrome bike parts to polish and i would hate to do it by hand since I have a Dremel 400 at my disposal.

  • Getting rid if tool marks requires softer polishing. You could use water to blend in tool marks with rough abrasive polish. I haven't used the polish that came with mine. I actually use 3M rubbing compound, with enough passes it will give it a mirror finish.

  • FLitz is the best 

  • WHY is this not recommended for chrome?

    Is there something else I can use with my Dremel, for chrome?

  • @7brothers around $100

  • Can the felt tips be reused or are they one time use?

  • @merlin4029 i have a 4000 and i rubbed polishing compound that came with it on my shiny 1st gen ipod touch back and polished it all different speeds and ways and it still looks like brushed chrome...

  • How do you get rid of the tool marks on the metal after you're done? I've tried using more/less polish, polishing lighter/harder, polishing multiple times, and I've tried polishing with quicker/slower strokes. I only have a one-speed, so maybe the bit is moving too quickly/slowly, so any information would be appreciated.

  • I hate dremel compound.
