    Hi bstanga, thanks for sharing your experiments, that's really interesting.
    I do, at a smaller scale, some grinding on the lathe using a Dremel and it works pretty well for sharpening or small difficult milling on hard stuff I cannot turn with the usual tools, but never used it for surface grinding.
    I feel that the main difficulty is often the lack of precision in the chucks and common grinding bits we can easily find.
    I will try on my side with a small router, but I'm pessimistic with the poor chuck that comes with it.
    Let's see ...
    Cheers !
    Christophe
