   My neighbour has done the same so he can mount his Dremel on his Myford   
   for various operations. Needed for one job and then found to be useful   
   for many others. Similarly I can mount a couple of my die grinders on my   
   lathe. Some years ago I introduced him to my new to me linisher and he   
   found it so useful he kept popping round to use it, in the end he bought   
   his own and got it at a good price I guess as the auction finished   
   Sunday lunchtime when the football was on.

   Somewhere I have a laminate trimmer head with a 1/4" collet I bought cheap   
   intending to mount on the lathe. It won't be as easy as the Dremel which   
   already had an adapter for my small lathe that could be quickly modified.
