    The rotary tool is a versatile handheld power tool with a rotary tip that accepts a variety of attachments for different tasks.

    A router-base attachment turns a rotary tool into a portable router for carving edges and grooves (figure A). A miniature router table can be attached to convert the tool into a bench-mounted router (figure B).

    A drill-press attachment converts the corded rotary tool into a miniature drill press (figure C).

    A chain-saw sharpening kit provides the rotary tool with the attachments needed to sharpen the chain on a chain saw (figure D). The kit includes a whetstone and a guide for hitting the chain at the correct angle.

    The flex shaft attaches to a corded rotary tool to make it easier to reach difficult spots (figure E). The flex-shaft tool holder suspends the rotary tool above the workbench for greater convenience (figure F).
