Hmmm ... reading this made me think of a a variation on the
idea.

1) A turret with six of them hanging around it.

2) Power from the foot speed control going to a pair of brushes
coming from the center of the turret, with six pairs of arcs of
copper alternating with Delrin, Plexiglass or some other
machinable plastic, turned so the copper and the plastic make a
continuous circle for the brushes to slide upon. The arcs of
copper are connected to an outlet to plug the Dremel into.

3) Keep all the switches on (or if variable speed, set to full
speed).

4) Only whichever one is closest to you will run when you press
the speed control pedal.

5) If you want an extra-safe situation, only put in five Dremels,
and when the empty slot is towards you, none of them will run if
you step on the pedal.

Consider this now officially placed in the public domain, and
thus unpatentable. (unless someone already makes it, of course. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.

And when you pull too hard on the handpiece the turret rotates and the
shaft with the broken, unbalanced cutoff wheel you didn't bother to
change leaps into action.

Ouch!!!
