Default Add-on to make accurate cuts with a rotary tool?

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).


Not sure of exactly how you want to cut the socket. But I have made Vee blocks out of wood and think you could make a rotary tool add on out of wood that would do what needs to be done.

Pallets are often made of oak which works well.

Of course if you have a table saw to make the add on, you can probably mount an abrasive disk on the table saw and cut with that.
