I see said the blind man, like these you mean?
Style A-AL 1/4 Shank Cylindrical Carbide Burrs for Aluminum
But at those prices it would be way cheaper to buy the Henry Taylor ones.
And, as Skew said, by the time you buy 2 bearings, a rare earth magnet, some brass and make the handle, add the supplied burr, you wouldn't save much, would you?

Two questions, the first practical, the second philosophical, just to be true to form.
I have just assassinated a flexible shaft, the bit that goes into the mandrel gave up, but the handle is intact. IMHO, if I just cut the shaft at the end of the handle, the handle itself would take whatever burr and do exactly what this tool does. Correct? He who has never killed a flexible shaft can cast the first stone..
Second question: Is this really "decoration"? I would call it at most texturing. Less creative than purposeful sanding.

So frank what is the difference between decorating and texturing .
Are they both the same just different ways of saying the same thing.
So what will I do today will I decorate this peice with a bit of texturing or should I just texture the peice to give it a bit of feature.Jim Carroll

I think that may be a philosophical question Jim

That's right, Jim, I did not want it to be a philological question.

Glad someone is
Seems more like a thread hi-jack to me, but there you go.

Dead flexi shafts not-with-standing. I think I might give it a go. Decorating (or not) some work using the Dremel cylinder, ball and cone cutters that is . They look like mini versions of the Elf and I do work in miniature - so why not! My idea is to define the bit I want to decorate/indent/ruin and let the cutter run freely in the flexi hand piece - without turning the Dremel power on. If I get anything like a result I'll let you know.

Bit the Bullet and got one through Packards in the USA good service and it arrived in 10 days
I am still playing but think it will be a useful tool
This was a bit of green camphor the base I am happy with and it looks a neat way to to finish off
The lip is a different kettle of fish it is extremly hard not to get chipping on a lip this narrow I think the wall would need to be another 5 mm thick to accept this type of decoration. But I am still playing with it
Next trial will be a band about 15mm wide on the lip of a burl platter
