OK so here's my update on this....

I played with the machine today and used the Rotozip adapters and they worked great, here is what it looks like:



You insert the bit and tighten the little nub and you end up with this:



Then you stuff the whole thing into the router and your set, I did inlay and some tests and it worked perfectly:



This was done using a 1/32" bit in my router:



What I'm planning on now it having some pieces machined up for my setup, essentially they will be 5/8" stock that's turned down to have a little lip and a 1/4" and 1/8" center hole, in the side will be a little set screw for securing the bit in the collet. I just have to find a shop in the area that will be will to make the pieces for me, if I have a lathe and mill I'd just do them myself....

BTW... Jimmie I looked on MLCS's site and didn't see those, did you get a part number by chance??

Cheers
