pen adapter --sharpie or HB regular pencil

Post by stankern »

a friend machined out a 1/2 shaft adaper fits right into the router collet
its spring loaded with about 1/2 play ,the pencil or sharpie is held in with a set screw
The body is brass and the 2 inserts are plastic to house the pencil or sharpie
I called it the king pen adapter
