And supply the motor
Do you mean like a cordless drill/precision hose clamp trigger lock type of deal?

Yep. What do you want for 239 bucks? Ive got a 25 to one, gear reduction motor to fit on it.

No problem!! I’ve been throwing around the idea of making one in winter some time. This is probably cheaper than what I’d end up making anyways :D my Milwaukee 18v drill has one-key so I can set the max rpms to whatever I with my phone, on 4 different presets. I’m hoping that might work as well as I think it will :geek:

Very interesting! Never knew such an app existed for a drill

It’s a decent feature. Twist the top collar to “ONE-KEY™ mode select a preset underneath. Instead of a 2 speed drill you have 5 basically. 4 presents and “off” which makes it like a regular drill. Handy feature for drilling stainless if you want slower rpms without having to feather the trigger. or if you’re drill 1/16 holes or tiny screws you can set the kickoff very low, basically same as the clutch minus the ratcheting, And more consistent. Then there’s worklight settings, brightness,how long it stays on. Kinda gimiky little stuff. But the security part I really like. The serial numbers of each tool I’ve added to my account are registered to me now. So if someone else ever connects their phone to my tools I get an alert, with a location of where it was last seen. That’s the biggest plus for me.

That's a great idea for a drill! I wish I found it before I bought my Makita.

Yesterday, I mounted a small 4 jaw chuck.

Looks good! I assume the chuck isn’t included in the $239?

I missed one last weekend on Craigs List, a 6" 3 jaw for 25 bucks. That's the size this positioner is made for.
