My Dremel has a big pink round grinder..Like Don, I have very little in the way of machinery. My "lathe" is a drill clamped into a shop vise and a file. It's surprising but you can make some really fine brass parts with it and a dial caliper!

Jerry,
you made me smile, I've made more than one firing pin and shaped and shortened screws and pins with the same "lathe".

Now I use my drill press, but the horizontal "lathe" was easier to see and work with !

I used a grinding point, sanding drum, and polishing bud in my dremel today to put the ramp in my luger carbine barrel! One can't tell it from the original bbl. I used as a guide.
