Flex Shaft Chop Saw

thingiverse

Tons of accessories are available for Dremel tools but none for flex shaft tools. So here's the second in a series I'm developing. This chop saw can swing a 2 in, diameter blade or cutoff wheel and it can accomplish reasonably consistent cuts. I've added a miter gauge with 5 degree divisions but I wouldn't depend on it too much. :-) Note: I've yet to devise a decent blade guard so BE CAREFUL and wear eye protection at the very least. 2021_02_11: Uploaded pieces so those who wish can hook up a retract spring to keep the saw from falling freely onto the work. New base holes can be threaded M3 and spring hooks can be attached with 3: M3 x10mm SHCS. Use one or both as you see fit. Slip a rubber band around the tool and the other end can hook at the top. The new base designs are slightly wider on one side to make room for hook fasteners. 2021_02_15: Printer problems all fixed and I've now finished printing the thing. Along the way I redesigned the Spring_Hooks and the Blade Guard.
