Rockytime Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Someone makes a dedicated drill made specifically for drilling scroll saw blanks. I thought I had it in my bookmarks but apparently not as I cannot find it. Can someone help me here with a source? amazingkevin 1 Quote
Lucky2 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Buy a Dremel, then add the plunging router base. With the selection of collets out there, you could hold any size of drill bit. Plus, you would own a Dremel that you could use for grinding and sanding purposes. Len Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Seyco has one at a reduced price and I have used it for about a year now and love it ! Quote
Rockytime Posted October 30, 2016 Author Report Posted October 30, 2016 Just found a Dremel with a router attachment o craigs list for $60. Will look at it and check condition. Also searched for router attachment for my RotoZip. No longer made and very scarce so no luck there. If the Dremel is in good condition I think I will get it if he will dicker a little. Quote
ike Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 I bought a plunge router at Lowe's for $30 and the dremel cost about the same. I have 5 of them 4 were bought at garage Sales for $10 or less. I have each set up for special jobs. Saves time. IKE Scrolling Steve 1 Quote
Rolf Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 You want something with a chuck for the various drill sizes. The Rotozip only has 1/4 and 1/8 collets. I use a small high speed drill press from Micro Mark, but it has gotten a bit pricey. I do lots of smaller fretwork ornaments so the drill press works best for me. Quote
hawkeye10 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Posted October 30, 2016 Check Dan's post on this subject. It's the last post and was posted in 2014. I think this is a good idea. I will give him two thumbs up. http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/topic/9549-drilling-entry-holes-any-alternative-to-the-seyco-drill/page-2 Quote

Lowes has a Jacobs chuck for $30. that fits in a 3/8" drill chuck that holds a 1/16 bit .I have the dremil plunge but never use it.I use this chuck in my mini drill press from harbor freight. Quote
