Instead of purchasing a rotary tool to do my upper x-fers, I decided to make my own for under $45-$50.

I've already made modifications to the center shaft... this weekend the new bearings should be here... I have a couple pieces of 7075 Aluminum that have been sitting around for a while, scrap pieces... I have enough to do 3 out of that... I also have black knurled anodized tubing that I'll be making some tools from. Those should look sweet and run silky smooth.
The current tool was made from parts and materials laying around... I had to order a few things... but thays to be expected as it was a prototype. The central shaft on the prototype I'm not a fan of... So I changed the design slightly... The cutters... i have a bunch of wydias... i actually fired up my tool and cutter grinder for the first time in over a year... so soon I'll be hot on making cutters that I can use on the push style tool.
Later I'll update/edit with the amount of $ I have invested into the prototype...

Yeah, think I'll stick and stay with the originator @srcarr52 made rotary tool. ;)
He definitely makes a Very Nice tool, 100%... I'm just that guy who doesn't like spending money on things I can make... and by no means am I trying to steal his thunder... I believe he sells his for $250? If so, that's a Great price!!!

Thanks. That is for the handpiece kit with two burrs and an extra head. That way they can get right to porting!

Keep in mind that to advertise, you should become a site sponsor. There is a link somewhere on how to become one. It's not expensive.....and helps cover the cost of maintaining the site.

Before I get to the point of trying to sell any product on here, I'll gladly contribute to the site by sponsoring and possibly donating some products for members to try etc.
