Yes, I was thinking I may have had to make something like that, but I
thought for all I am doing, it probably is a bit OTT. I just wanted
something quick (and efficient) just so that I can get on with building my
engine...
Perhaps when I eventually turn my lathe into a pseudo cylindrical grinder, I
will go to a bit more length for something like this. However, it may be
worth me getting an air grinder.
Thanks.
Best regards,
Dave Colliver.

Is that the Ferm combi-tool thingy?
If so then the plastic bit next to the chuck unscrews, and you can mount
the tool in something vertical with (I think, but check) an 18 x 1.5 mm
threaded hole.
The 18 x 1.5 mm thread seems common to many such tools, including
Dremels and most dremeloids.

Please log in for more thread options Hi Peter,
Yes, it is like that ferm combi tool. (Mine has Toledo tct15 on it, which is
what I wrote, but it looks like they are the same). Yes, I did notice the
nose has a thread on it (didn't know what it was... thanks for clarifying).
I would have thought though that just supporting on the nose wouldn't be
enough as there is all the weight of the body the other side.
However, if I combine that idea with Charles' idea when I come to make a
more permanent mounting for it, it could be a good method for location.
Best regards,
Dave Colliver.

The threaded nose is intended for mounting the drill in a vertical
stand, which it does quite well - but a horizontal mounting may well
need some extra support at the back end.
Also the m18 x 1.5 thread was originally chosen for a Dremel, which is
smaller and lighter.

Please log in for more thread options Ah, right. I wasn't aware of that... Makes sense. For a horizontal mount, it
would not have been suitable.
