I’d like to come up with a lathe duplicator for tool handles. With the exception of bits and whatnot, I don’t want to spend more money on tools, so prefer to use what I’ve got. The first being a flex shaft rotary carver. I’m considering picking up a set of small carbide burrs, but wondering if for any reason they won’t do the job.? Other tools I own and could consider are a trim router, die grinder and angle grinder. Thanks for any input. Btw, wasn’t sure if this post would be better in Jigs and Fixtures or here. |

Small bur will take forever. Router with core box bit would be my choice. Of course you can do it with just a carbide tool too. Picture 1,4 and 5 show a multi-axis technique while 2 & 3 show the same template with a single axis.
