I think I just found a use for the RotoZip. It's not quite a dremel, and not 
quite a laminate trimmer. I didn't know what to use it for, but I bought one 
anyway based on the TV ads some years back. Simply prophetic in hindsight. 
:)

I also have a small linear guide and a cute-as-a-button ballscrew that were 
too small for every other job that might have used one. They too, I think, 
just found a purpose. The ballscrew and stepper might be a bit over the top, 
though.
