Im going to use it with Dremel flex shaft mounted to that copying tool, mostly. But, i have made some turning tools too.
That part was taken from the old video (i was lazy ).

I guessed it might be something like that. Given your demonstrated skills, I assumed you would know not to do it in practice.

Congratulations Tuomas, your Dremelathe is our Best Documented Build winner for September 2016!

Tough month, tough win. Nice Titanium Ring Making Tool from Christophe Mineau, Lathe Milling Table from olderdan, Optical Punch from jjr2001, Drill Press Table from morsa, and Curved Flange Bender from brianhw. Plus numerous videos of excellent tools from Metaler, including a Rotary Table, Dividing Head, and Endmill Edge Sharpening Fixture. But your tool and your documentation really stood out.

As we contemplate the future of homemade tools, one tempting possibility is a modular homemade tool system in which a single motor can be affixed to a variety of different tools. With this concept, there are fitment issues, compatibility issues, practicality issues, as well as the neverending fight against gimmickiness. But we are sitting here smack dab on the cutting edge of a fascinating DIY movement, and this type of modularity is a reasonable next step. Your build exemplifies this concept, and your multiple videos greatly increase accessibility so that other builders can build on your work. Well done.

Please confirm your email address via PM to me, and I'll get your $35 award sent out, via your choice of PayPal, Amazon, or bitcoin.

Congratulations again!
