No, I don't think I would dare do anything small with these monsters.
They do have an assortment of pulley/drive wheels here, so I guess
they could be geared up faster and maybe the motor could wall mount or
something behind the drill with a belt, but I have no idea how to get
a chuck mounted on a spindle. That's getting way too complicated for
what I need. A cheap second Dremel or generic wouldn't even be bad
just to keep mounted in the harness. I've got that handle/cable thing
with mine too, but I've never tried to use it.
What would anyone guess does have a "quiet" motor for something like
this? I think even my Dremel sounds like a swarm of bees on the higher
settings. It seems risky on motor wear running for the duration of
longer PCB drilling too. Those big motors here are about as quiet as
my press (good).
BTW- Are any of the generic Dremel-press rigs that the home stores are
currently carrying comparable to the legendary older ones.
