For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I wanted to show off an inexpensive tool that can give new life to your flex shaft bits - the Foredom Dressing Stone (made out of silicone carbide!) I had dozens of pumice, rubber and silicone bits lying around my studio that were misshapen and had grooves. I got myself this stone for $10 off of Amazon and it works fantastic! Reshaping bits is messy so please wear goggles and a respirator AND if you have one, use your dust collector. 😷😎 Really hope this is helpful to some people! I ask this question from time to time in my stories but if you have an idea for #tooltalktuesday, a tool you’d like to see me cover or you are interested in learning more about...let me know in the comments! If you have some wonky bits that need reshaping 🙋‍♀️ 😂 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrytools #foredomelectric
