Foredom-Panavise carrier

[mklotz]

Marv,
You're a busy guy!! Now that you've gone and done the hard part on the Foredom holder, go one more step and weld a piece of 1/2" x 3/4" (or whatever) onto the tube and you can put in your QCTP on the lathe and have a mini tool post grinder. I have found this arrangement to be useful and especially so if I'm trying to "machine" rubber parts. Hard rubber (stoppers and the like) grind quite well and you can get a decent finish.

Hi Ed,

Great idea. I'd do it except for the fact I made a dedicated QCTP holder for the Foredom soon after I bought it. In fact, one of the reasons for buying the Foredom was the fact that it has better bearings than a Dremel and thus would produce a better surface finish on turned parts. I have a similar fitting for a Dremel so I could make a direct comparison.
