I need to slice a piece off of a 1 1/4 inch socket. Also need to cut
a slot
into that socket.
Sure would be nice to have a rotary tool add-on...
1. That holds the rotary tool stationary.
2. Slowly and steadily moves or spins the work into the rotary tool
cut off
wheel (or other attachment).
It's called a lathe and a toolpost bracket to hold the rotary
tool. -
Poor man's tool post grinder.
I made my first one from a copper pipe cap that fit the end of the
Dremel closely.
I made mine from a chunk of Delrin - drilled a hole to fit my
handpiece, and another to fit on my compound toolholder post.
Mine is PVC, and I have another one that fits my ancient B&D die
grinder.
It sounds like every home-shop machinist has had the same idea.
