Cheap Ibrid nano alternative

[mikejames]

A few of us have been talking about a cheap Ibrid nano alternative. There was even a thread awhile back with some comments here Cool use for a Dremel...

I ordered 1" and 2" pads and backing plates with 3mm shanks to go along with my variable speed rotary tool, right angle attachment, and flex hose. It works great to get into tight spots like door handles, around mirrors, bumpers, door jams, painted window trim, ect. The key to this setup is a variable speed rotary tool. With the 1" pads I use speed 2 or 3 depending on how much pressure applied to the pad and which pad I`m using. With 2" pads I use speeds 3,4,or 5 depending on pad and pressure. Both the right angle attachment or the flex hose works great with the pads, just have to remember it`s a rotary and to keep the pad moving. Here are some pic`s of the setup.

+1 !!! Great alternative, I have similar setup minus the Angle, and a flex shaft instead . Just adding as a testimony of this being a good alternative.

I give credit to Mike for helping me source some of the stuff.

We helped each other find stuff. Good looking setup Migue! I think people who try this will be surprised at how well it works for tight areas.

+ another 1

Same setup I`m using and looks lit the same source for pads and "backing" plate.
I like it for taillights and small areas around emblems as well as other nooks and crannies

How does the 1 inch backing plate hold up to the speed of the rotary?

With a variable speed rotary it`s a non issue. You can select a very controllable speed with the backing plate and pad on. I have the Dremel 3000 rotary and depending on which pad I choose speed 2 or 3 work good for me with 1" pads. With 2" backing plate and pad I have to bump the speed up to 3 or 4.

Yeah pretty much what mike said. The speed is not insane , in my case with the WEN Tool I was fine with speed 1-2 and you can adjust pressure to slow it down or allow it to speed back up. The BP feels sturdy enough to handle that , just make sure you use a rotary with variable speeds.
