"Hi. I'm Jason shooting on behalf of expert village dot com today. Were making beaded necklace with charms an beads with recycle material. We already pick our materials, modify, ground down edges on our beads an now were going to grind down the edges on our charms. Were going to use the dremel just like before, push the lock key down, twist it, make sure it is lock into place wont go any were. Use a wrench to lose the other bit, take it out, replace it with the sanding bit, put it in. You would only wont it to be out about a inch an a half or just one inch. Use your fingers to tighten the nut down behind the bit, then use the wrench to tighten it, make sure you have the lock button pushed in, if not it will spin freely. Use the high setting, because the material for the charm is harder and we wont it to cut it faster. Be careful the charm will jump out of your hand while sanding."
