Trevor,

This topic illustrates the importance of either having machinist skills or having access to someone who does. Most of the machinist projects I have seen on the forum could be done of a small home shop machinist machine like the Sherline or Unimat. However, some tooling and, more importantly, some experience is required.

I think that if you were able to lock the SDV-186 to the support bar ...

Trevor,

I'd recommend not locking anything down.  Allowing the blade to free-float on the stone helps to prevent gouging into the stone's surface, especially on the SJ stone.  And I think you could use the Foredom this way. 

But, I look forward to what you come up with.  As I heard on a great podcast called "Make Me Smarter",

None of us is as smart as all of us.

Kind regards,
Rich
