EASY TOOLPOST GRINDER By: Cletus Berkeley, 9Z4CLB A Dremel Model 225 T2 Flexible Shaft Accessory fits nicely in the tool-holder of an Aloris Type Quick Change Toolpost. This makes a very convenient “Toolpost Grinder” and works beautifully at machining Soft/Flexible material like Rubber and soft Synthetics (try running the lathe in reverse too …makes for a fine finish as this would be the opposing rotation to the cutter). If you use any type of toolpost grinder in your lathe be sure to be meticulous in your clean-up operations as any fine metal dust is terribly abrasive. Also, a suitable dust mask may be needed when machining certain materials with a toolpost grinder, let common sense prevail. The photo below shows the Model 225 T2 Flexible Shaft Accessory mounted in my Phase II+ QCTP nicely machining a Rubber Leg. No modifications ….No hassle! Have fun …be safe!
