Re: Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool
A dremel doesn't have the torque to turn an adapter,backing plate and then pad.

Also the Dremel tool would probably spin way too fast even at the lowest setting. If memory serves it's a 10,000 RPM tool with 10 speed setting making the slowest setting 1,000 RPM. On such a small area as 1 inch, that could burn through paint very quickly.

Someone with a lathe could turn that shaft down to a size that would fit the Dremel.
2008 Toyota Tacoma 410,000 miles and still going strong.

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.

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 expect a very delicate skill is needed (the Flex Shaft will come in handy at this situation).
I am actually thinking to use it on area like chrome badges or lining. So these areas are small and hard by itself. Although I do not rule out the possibility of using it on painted surface but your concern is very valid. Before I do it for real I should experiment it on a junk hood first of course.

Re: Convert Dremel rotary tool into 1" or 2" polishing rotary tool
It has plenty of speed to cut stuff but torque is different
It spins very very light weight cutting wheels etc
Good luck with it. I like trying new stuff as well so let us know

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.

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