dental handpieces for copper clad drilling

2013-02-05 by Jeff Heiss

Dental handpieces (aka dental drills) would be a great way to run small
drills for the #60 - #80 range. They run at 350,000 RPM, are available on
Ebay, and cost $16. The issue to solve is they take 1/16" bits and the
shanks of our micro drills are 1/8". I have not been able to think of a way
to make an adapter. Has anyone used a dental handpiece for drilling before?
Are there any types of handpieces that use 1/8" bits?
