Micro turning with a homemade rotary tool lathe
Ever wonder how to turn VERY small wood items? The January 2011 issue of the Lee Valley & Vertas Woodworking Newsletter features an article on micro turning by Maarten Meerman. The author has created a tiny high-speed lathe powered by a common Dremel rotary tool (shown above). The micro wood lathe allows him to turn incredibly small parts. It's a simple build for some very specialized work.
Here's the article on micro turning with a homemade rotary tool lathe.
