Hi guys! So I want to mod on a drill… Thats all I have atm I know how to recess on a drill but I want to learn how to do other stuff. Also I really want to know how to reshape on a drill. I am not talking about crazy reshape, I just want to flat the rim out. Thanks! ---

What yoyo are you planning on doing this on? You can do the following mods -wipe caps -satin (spiral or regular-whatever you choose) -pad recess -silicone recess -Sticker lip removal (on certain yoyos) -Make a recess for an SPR kit. -reshape (you know lol) -If its a YYJ you can shape the nub(s) to hold hubstacks. -Polish (polishing compound) -Shave down starburst -HIGHWALL! -Schmoove -Ghostring. and, I just thought of this, but you can’t do it on a drill. -reverse starburst (you would actually have to hand carve this one) ---

I made a micro lathe out of a drill. I can do wood modding on it, I can also design a throw with the tools I created that create symmetrical shapes. ---

Think about it. A different shape. For example: A stock PGM. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/4/f/84f8b4d2b312ed61c505ff809b2b66a7b49472d2.jpeg) A PGM reshaped to have flat rims. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/b/7/6b721a4d8b72ee9cecc7a99f6649a0286d532893.jpeg) ---

If you highwall, doesn’t that increase the responce becasue of higher string contact also reduce the sleep time unless you have a perfect throw? What do you use to make Schmoove rings? ---

The effect that a highwall on a yo-yo will have on spin time is negligible. You can make schmoove rings with the same types of tools that would be used for recessing a yo-yo.
