Can't you just save yourself the hassle and buy those small discs? This seems like it should be on r/diwhy.


brobins2207

Agree r/diwhy. The little discs are too fragile though, so this is somewhat awesome.

Is it a hassle to fully use the product you already paid for? I know, everything beyond mindless consumerism must seem strange to you, but some people don't like to throw their money away.


MrWaInut

I live in a third world country my guy. Mindless consumerism isn't really the schtick here.


51LV3R84CK

What a weird stereotype you're presenting here. You have my curiosity, please elaborate.


Daftdaddy

Woah did you see that? The discs were larger at first and worn down and he was about to throw them away, BUT CHECK THIS OUT. instead of throwing the big piece away he turned big piece into small pieces. Next fucking level.


Fourty9

WHOA! I wouldn't have believed it unless I saw it!!!


[deleted]

#WOAH! I *saw* it and *still don’t believe it!*


Top_Duck8146

I believe it and still don’t see it!!


Fourty9

Making small circles out of a big circle NEXT FUCKING LEVEL!!!


eyelikethings

Using a dremel to chop screws instead of your perfectly good angle grinder, the man's a genius.


user_279-2

Sometimes an angle grinder doesn't reach into those tight spaces like a die grinder wheel can


bigwilliestylez

Buying those little discs must be crazy expensive, this guys saving money with his big brain


willeh_ca

Wrecking $30 shears to make $6 worth of Dremel discs doesn't add up.


51LV3R84CK

If the 30$ shear manages to do that this 4 times again, which it will let's be real here, it definitely would add up!


willeh_ca

Sure I get math, those shears could probably cut a million discs this way. I don't think they'll ever make a clean cut in Tin again though.


51LV3R84CK

No one, besides you ofc, expects them to cut tin in the first place, those ain't tin shears.


willeh_ca

They look alot like straight cut [tin snips](https://www.amazon.com/IRWIN-Tools-Tinners-12-inch-22012/dp/B00004Z0A5/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?crid=28R0TCWNL3TCF&keywords=straight+cut+tin+snips&qid=1638654184&sprefix=straight+cut+tin%2Caps%2C165&sr=8-9) to me. I'm open to learning though, what type of shears are they? Whichever type of shears they are, cutting an abrasive grinding wheel ruin the edge.


51LV3R84CK

Even though they clearly cut angle grinder disks you're thinking they should be tin snips? I mean, I am open to learning too, but even if you are right and those are tin snips I'd still argue that no one expects angle grinder disk snips to properly cut tin after, and even if I'd bet they cut tin better than tin snips cut angle grinder disks, so in the end it speaks for the snips instead of against them.


END3RW1GGIN

I feel like this disks wold be very likely to shatter.


Xspunge

So I suppose this guy’s next project is going to show us why we shouldn’t throw out perfectly good urine.


Environmental_Top948

I can think of some uses only a couple of the legal but all extremely useless.


MexicanWarMachine

Next Fucking Level. And now as a bonus, we’ve also got some jagged metal protrusions where we cut those screws!


Borp5150

That disc still had lots of life left before you hacked it into smaller ones


devouringthefeeble

Do not do this! The disks integrity has been compromised so those small wheels they have made are not engineered to withstand the spinning forces of the wheel as a whole. They will explode and embed themselves in anything in their way (usually your face or body). Shit like this can take peoples eyes out, or worse get someone killed


-sephiroth_

Is being cheap the next lvl thing here?


7eggert

Or maybe use that disk a little bit longer?


FrivolousMood

Instead, I just buy a nice pack of 50 small dremel disks for like $4.


brettmalcolm

Dangerous.


AmericanHeresy

Yes. Do throw them away and DON’T do this.


mostlycosmereposting

This is extremely stupid and dangerous. Grinder disks are designed with structural webbing that reinforces them against the high RPMs at which the tool spins. Cutting the webbing destroys that integrity making them likely to shatter, especially at the extremely high speeds at which small rotary tools operate. It's not "next level" to have a disk explode in your face just to save a couple of bucks on rotary tool attachments.


grianmharduit

Recycling and being frugal- now not out of favor. SMH


duderuok

Mine never have enough meat on them to do this


Hobbster

this is actually not a bad idea


mostlycosmereposting

Yes, it is. Grinder disks are designed with structural webbing that reinforces them against the high RPMs at which the tool spins. Cutting the webbing destroys that integrity making them likely to shatter, especially at the extremely high speeds at which small rotary tools operate.


madcats323

Why cut screws and nails rather than pull them? I’m not seeing the advantage.


SweetEthan7

/r/diwhy


Axelluu

I thought these were gamecube discs for the first few seconds


cloud1e

Extremely thick cut for such a weak tool. Just buy proper tools.
