Dental Handpiece Motors (Marathon Micromotor)
Hi Guys,
First time poster, long time reader.
I am wanting to take the plunge into razor restoration, however I am limited by a distinct lack of workspace at my house. Ideally, I would like to buy a bench grinder/buffer, however I only have a single garage with no room for a workbench or anything of the sort. This has caused me to consider smaller, portable options such as rotary tools (Dremels etc). Although I do like Dremels, I understand that they are not built as well as in years gone by, often burning out after 12 months of use.
I'm not wanting to spend a lot at this stage. I have been trialling sandpaper techniques with great success, however this process is painfully slow. I'm just after something that could help me save some time and produce a finish as good as sanding by hand.
Whilst researching rotary tools, my wife gave me the idea of using a dental hand-piece (she works at a dental practice). This led me to inexpensive dental micromotors such as the one below:

Does anyone have any experience with similar devices, or even this one in particular?
I feel that I should note that I am not currently looking to do any extensive structural restoration such as pitting removal etc.
Thanks so much guys.
