Actually, probably much more of a "motor"!

Even if there WERE such an attachment, due to the RPM speeds of either a
trim-router or die-grinder air-motor, this would NOT be practical at
"general-purpose-tool prices"! It would have to be SUPER-precision, and NOT
simply affixed into a collet! There just isn't such a machine with a
right-angle drive running over 3600 RPM!
