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

As explained in a follow-up post, a simple cutoff saw isn't the answer.


The problem is we don't know what you have tool wise or are willing to
buy...

When I want to do something like your request I go through the
possibilities in my head based on the tools I have access to. I also
consider things that I could purchase and would stay with my comfort
zone budget wise.

You could put your item in drill and pretend the drill was a lathe.
Lots of slop but it would work for low precision stuff. Or mount your
rotary tool to a board and then push that assembly with the miter
block on your table saw.

Dremel sells a little drill press adapter for their rotary
tools:

Or maybe the shaper/router table:
