Anyone know of a tool to do this type of work? - 12/04/13 10:40 PM
Working w/ either a Dremel or a "real" die grinder (although a Dremel might do just fine for what I have in mind), I'm wondering if there's any type of fixture or vise designed for clamping down the grinder body and allowing the user to set the angle the bit touches the cutting surface w/ respect to the mounting (sliding?) surface of the fixture / vise.
Think of it's usage kind of like the following (abstract as it is): You want to put a 45* bevel on the inside of a large round hole drilled into a flat deck. The tool would allow you to mount the grinder in the fixture, which would remain on the level deck surface, then pivot the grinder down to the desired angle (similar to setting a protractor), thus setting up a straight-sided carbide cutter to cut the inside edge of the cylinder at the specified angle.
You'd have to move the grinder / fixture assembly by hand as you applied the bevel to the inside edge. The part being beveled wouldn't be something compact enough to mount on a lathe and modify w/ a cutting tool, which is why I'm trying to think of what would work, or find out if something like this already exists.
