Has anyone tried his dremel mill? to machine some delrin.http://vanda-layindustries.com/html/acra_mill_plus.html They use it for the model ship hobbyist.

You know with the higher powered 400 dremel. I think it could do some good work with some delrin projects.

What I was thinking is to use it with a bench grinder with a flex shaft.

[pureadrenalin]

You think it will work? Where would you mont flex shaft?

In the pictures I posted, it shows the Dremil flex shaft attachment they sell. The bench grinder has an output for a Dremel type flex shaft and the grinder is variable speed.

The grinder flex shaft idea is a good one IMHO.

Cosmo Kramer: No, you're way, way, way off. Well yeah, that's the right number, but this is an apartment.
George Costanza: [rushes out of the toilet with his pants on his knees] Vandelay! Say Vandelay Industries!

Cosmo Kramer: Yeah, no problem.
