I saw an attachment for the dremel, well, more like a cradle to place it in, that turns your Dremel into a mini-drill press. I thought it was pretty neat and I was thinking of getting one for my hair pins.
I like to add little pieces of a jewel or decorative glass to them like this:


But the hard part is making the little recess for the glass to go into. I did those free-hand with a dremel but it was hard to stay centered/perfectly round... And then I tried using a drill press, which didn't work so well either. It seemed to be too powerful for the pieces, and I ripped up MANY on the drill press.
This seems like it might be a happy medium, because I can use my same dremel heads, but it'll stay steadier...
Any opinions on this attachment?
I think there would be a way to make these recesses on the lathe, but I don't know how...
