Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: die grinder in CNC router

Guys,
I made this suggestion some time ago, when someone else posed a
similar problem, but Foredom makes a flex shaft grinder with a 1" diameter
handpiece, 1/4 HP, with speed control from almost 0 to about 20,000 RPM. I
don't know if it would have enough torque, but would it be worth
investigating?
