Summary

UPDATE: I am no longer working on this project. I never quite completed it and I'm too busy with other things, so there will not be anymore updates in the foreseeable future. I'm leaving the project up just in case anyone was working on it, or wants to see what I was doing.

READ BELOW IMPORTANT INFO (including post printing)

I created an adjustable lathe for a Dremel tool. WARNING! I have not finished printing all the parts, this I cannot guarantee that this project will work. However, I have printed most of the main part and everything is working flawlessly thus far. I should have the project fully completed soon, at which point I will update this page with more info.

One side has a treaded attachment for your Dremel tool, the other has press fit pockets for two 608 bearings (one on each side). 3D printed bolts are intended to screw into holes above slides to lock the rig in desired position. Two feet on each end of the rig are intended to be screwed or clamped to workbench. Maximum usable extension 185mm (7.28 in), could be more if you disconnect slides and use mounting feet to secure to work surface.

I included the.123dx file if you want to mess round with it. Just ask that you give credit where its due! Thanks!

If anyone does try printing this, I'd love to hear about it.
