I found this and thought it had a couple good Dremel tips, but making your own scotchbrite wheels at about 4:00 in, is awesome!
I call this-WORTHY.

Good stuff
My 5cent: What he says about the spiral polishing bits explains a lot of bad reviews you see for these, that they get used up too fast. Interesting. I found the abrasive pad bits very useful, much more so than the drums on metal, on wood it's the other way around. Never thought of making my own though. The soft polishing bits, the fluffy ones, work very well with diamond powder, the stiffer ones less so. Also be sure to buy quality with the fabric ones, else you'll get string flying everywhere without much effect... You can also get diamond cut off discs, they work well for stone and glass, but you need to cool them and/or run at low setting, else they lose their bite quickly, wery useful since they don't shrink while cutting and can go after extremely hard materials. What he also forgot to mention are tungsten carbide burrs, for when you need to hog off a lot of material. Although to be honest, using those things on metal scares me, only keep thinking "if this breaks right now, best case is a flesh wound". Still work fine to enlarge holes a lot or shaping something fast. These also work well on wood, but there are 2 kinds, single fluted and cross fluted, the single fluted ones tend to kick back more on wood. I would definately tell you to get the flexible drive shaft if you have a wired Dremel (on the battery powerd one it sucks too much power), it's small and light, very well suited for detail work and still more powerful than the stylus dremels. As he says the corner adapter can be useful sometimes, but I wouldn't buy it again. Also there is an attachment for Dremel that makes it a router, it's pretty cheap (about 30$/€) and works reasonably well.
Bit more than 5cent, a buck fifty maybe?
