Using dremel bits on a air die grinder

[mechjames]

Does someone make an adapter? I just picked up a pack of 500 dremel bits, cutting, polishing, grinding, etc for $20 at canadian tire. I'd like to use it with my air die grinder.

Problem is, my die grinder has a 1/4" chuck and the dremel bits are the standard dremel size (1/8" i want to say...)

Is there an adapter available for my application?

depending on the brand all you need is an 1/8" collet. common part but it needs to match your tool's design.

yup. i've found them online after searching for a while. home depot doesn't have it around here, local auto parts store and rona doesn't either. i'm going to have to hit up some of the smaller specialty tool stores in the morning tomorrow.

Can you find any reasonably priced 1/8 air die grinders there? Around here I have seen them for under $20 at Harbor Freight and they are a lot smaller and easier to maneuver than a 1/4 die grinder.

Yep might be easier to buy a cheap 1/8 grinder than finding an adapter.
