CHEAP TO MAKE MULTITOOL
I have two styles, that I have made. The first is a little more expensive, but quick to make. Mine is made using an electric valve grinder, 20.00 from pawn shop. 36 inch flexshaft, 9.95 from HF. Vari- speed controller for ceiling fan, 0.00 have several. you can either bench mount or hang to mount. The second is made using 3/4 hp router, found at flea mkt. 10.00. Add the flexshaft, with reducing collett, and the vari-speed controller. This style I recommend bench mount. Both work as good, if not better, than a higher priced Sears or Foredom. KEN (WWJD) |

Great idea, Ken. I have a motor and controller I salvaged from a blender that I will have to try this out on. Brett |

Re: RE:Cheap to make multi-tool
Well, it's off to the shop and get started on one of them. What size tools will they handle? I'm looking to make something that will handle 1/4" tools. I've got the foot operated speed control that I bought at a yard sale for 50 cents. Thanks for the info. Tom Militano - Custom Knives |
