bit extension

[MIJODA52]

Hey guys,
New member here. Looks like a great forum! I have built myself a machine to duplicate items in 3d. I am looking for a good short bit extension to use with my Craftsman Rotozip tool. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

I would like to see how you built a machine to replicate items in 3D, yea I know there are 3D printers, my robotics team has one, and its the coolest thing ever, but how did you build one yourself?

and for your question. I dont have experience with that tool, but what kind of chuck is it? like what size is it? and what kind of extension, what type of bits do you want to put in?

Actually, it is a 3D pantograph that I built from some old plans (with several modifications) I am duplicating items in wood and it works very well but I need a bit extension. My machine will take either 1/8" or 1/4" bits and I need to get into some tight spaces thus the need to extend the bit. I am thinking something on the order of the extensions that you can buy to use with wood bits only much smaller. Thanks.

then type in page 2383 in the find thing, and it will take you to that catalouge page.
theres the slim profile ones on the top of the page, then about half way down theres also the miniature twist drill bit extensions.
is that what you need?
