Saugerman Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I've been forming some crankbait stencils as seen on you tube,but have not been able to find the 32 thousands bit to fit my dremil tool. Can someone tell me where to find them? I have not been able to locate any. I know you can cut them out with an exacto knife, but would like to try the bit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I got a couple bits at my local Lowes. They had a fair collection of Dremel accessories. You can also look at some of the online hobby shops. They sometimes carry after market stuff for rotary tools that aren't necessarily OEM parts. good luck, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I got some from Amazon about a year ago that I use to cut Lexan on a CNC, the seller was Bisco Tool Supply. Really reasonable price and good stuff. 1/8 shaft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look the boxes over, usually they are different from box to box. Some are very small, fine as a hair and likely to break with any pressure. Good luck!

Saugerman Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Thanks. for your advise,I was able to order them after you mentioned ordering some from Amazon.com. Raburn Guy, I probably could have purchased them from Lowes, but I live out in the booneys, don't know when I'll get to town. But thanks for the information.

RayburnGuy Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 I'm in the same boat Saugerman. I live in a small town as well and buying online and paying shipping fees is actually cheaper than the price of gasoline it would take to drive to one of the big box retailers.

Ben Isn't it funny how that works? I have a mechanicI like who will do my work for $450, but he's 45 miles away, and it involves two round trips. I'm using a local guy who is $50 more expensive, but I'll save double that in gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Getting things shipped to my door is actually much more convenient for me Mark since I don't get out of the house that much anymore due to my health. Not sure what I'd do if it weren't for the old inter web. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugerman Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 That's my deal too,gas cost, and health issues. Thanks for everyones help, received e-mail today, have already been shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spoonpluggergino Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 I know you are looking for a rotary bit, for me the easiest way to cut stencils is to use a stencil burner. I use mat frisket paper to make the stencils Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhersh Posted January 18, 2015 Report Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) It is a .032 end mill not .32 Sorry. You can look on amazon also. Edited January 18, 2015 by rhersh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimP Posted January 19, 2015 Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 Is that bit like a regular drill bit The cutters we are messing with are small end mills. They cut on the sides of the bit as well as on the end. Like a twisted router bit. Google "end mill" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Maxwell Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Another idea. I found a heated exacto knife set up (similar to a soldering iron) in a hobby/model shop locally. It was under $10.00. Works very well, if you let it heat up good. I am using stencil material I found at Hobby Lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Moreau Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I don't know who originally posted this years ago but its payed dividends for me!!! The next time you go to your local dentist ask if you can have the used bits. I take and boil them to kill any germs and disinfect... they have all kinds and gladly gave me a bunch. There are small end mill like bits they use and all sorts of other high quality little bits. You have to get the small chuck inserts or Go to any bigbox store or internet and get the adjustable chuck for your dremel. then you are GTG!

Tim2199 Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 X2 on the soldering tool/ heated cutter. Ive used that setup to cut plastic up to 1/4 inch. Cuts stencil material like butter with no burs. You can grind a blade point down to a small point for finer detail work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
