A few shots of the tools and tool holders so far.
I find that the unit is capable of fine filing work. However I was thinking that it would make a good
table mounted Jig Saw.
So I made another tool holder from brass with a slot in the top. The smallest end mill I had was 3/32 and that was
a bit thick for what I needed. Adapters were milled from brass to make a tight fit in the slot and a channel was
made in that adapter to fit the tools.
Files may now be inserted from the non handle end. That is the flat end. These files are very small and do not seem
to push the part up when filing. They can grab the part if it is not flat on the table but the files work equally well
no matter which end is held in the holder.
Jig Saw blades cut well. With my little motor they seem to cut 1/4 inch material quite well. I don't think I would
use it on anything thicker.
If you build one please post it.
Cheers, JR
