Lathe toolpost holder for Dremel flex shaft

[morsa]

There are lots of adapters for mounting the Dremel (or other high speed rotary tools) into the lathe toolpost (lathe tool post grinder), but very few for mounting the Dremel flex shaft; a nice example of these last is that by PJs (Dremel holder).

The holder I show here was made with a 1/2 x 20 nut (thread of the hand piece cap of the flex shaft), and a 6 mm square bar. Two segments, one short and one large, of the square bar are welded to the nut, so the upper face of the long segment is aligned with the center of the nut, and both with the center of the headstock, once mounted in the toolholder.
