Anyone adapt one of these to their lathe?

Dumore hand grinder. I got it for $20 at the flea market. Takes 1/4" bits.





My dremel did really well last week on a little project. I figure this should work well if I devise a body mount for it.

Yep . Not a Dumore but a Precise . Used it on my manual lathes as well as the CNCs .

I've seen Dremels adapted to toolpost grinders. No reason it shouldn't work, but I've never had the need for one.

I have the adapter. I mentioned it in my post. Works pretty well.

I did. Made a bracket to hold it. Think I’ve used it on 2 jobs.

I did just use it a couple months ago truing up the OD holding jaw parts on main 3 jaw Chuck. I need to set it up again to do the ID faces one of these days .

Proxxon has a rotary tool and a lathe tool holder designed for this purpose:




Keith Appleton used this rotary tool with a modified bench mount as a tool post grinder in one of his videos (I’ll try to find it in morning). I got the battery version on Amazon and one of the tool holders direct from Proxxon and it works well (not Stefan grade, but fine for what most of us do). I pointed Keith to the holder and he got one for his rotary tool.

EDIT

Found the videos:
