If you are going to try this with the Dremel you will need to have a shaft supported at both ends, that will eliminate the lateral pressure on the bearings provided the Dremel itself is supported or the shaft attachment is used.

@RockyAussie has a belt grinder version he built with an adjustable guide.

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Tried the basics of making it, but the thread was to weak on the table Thread part with the gaps for fixing it's position, maybe with the adjustment of the drill holder it does not need a movable table top, also found out you can but a cutting tool for the Dremel that might be better than rough sanding paper

To me the main problem is the printing time, as I am not willing to let it run overnight for safety reasons, already had to change out the XT60 connection as lack of soldering at manufacturing stage ment it was getting exceedingly hot, (now sorted) if nothing else the noise would keep me awake as run at home

Think I will put it down, as a good learning lesson especially about shrinkage of difference between threaded nut and bolt in large sizes using PLA, but what does stand out is the low cost of materials and electricity to make quite large potentially useful items, at 72 I am finding technology a wonderful way to keep the grey cells active and the learning of what ""Fusion 360" can do is mind boggling and a great introduction to how far design tools have reached

Hopefully made some people think about different ways to do things
