It’s not the cleanest of jobs but it does the trick. It’s my first mod, I used a dremel tool to recess it. ---

It looks a little wide and a little too close to the bearing seat. A very good first try, I have seen much worse. ---

I agree with most of that. The width though can be different sizes to change the feel of the play. I’ve had people request wider and thinner recesses due to their style of play. ---

Ya, I went to close to the bearing, but I did want it wider just because I was only doing the one side. Either way it still plays great. the silicone is a little worn down from play too. I’ll be changing it out w/in a few more weeks. I also started w/ a bit that was too large and that kind of messed it up. I’m sure the next recess will be a little more cleaned up. Thanks for the constructive criticism guys ;D ---

Do you have a drill press setup for your dremel or are you doing it free hand? ---

There’s no way he did it freehand with the cutting bit in the dremel. So either he used a drill-press attachment or spun the yo-yo with the dremel and cut it with a screwdriver or similar tool. ---

Oh yes, this was done free hand ;D I’m looking into getting the drill press for the dremel so I can make a smoother cut but I am pretty steady w/ my hand. ---

Just remember to protect those eyes. Your normal glasses may not be enough. Goggles or a face shield is a great idea. I prefer the face shield.
