I'm looking to make a rod chamfering machine. It doesn't have to be particularly accurate, but it does have to be *fast* and easy to use.

I chamfer alot of small (1/8" and 3/32") stainless rod. Currently I use a belt sander. Twirling the rod is hard on the fingers. I'd rather hold the rod steady and have the tool twirl.

I've tried the Severance rod chamfer bits. They don't work if the rod isn't chucked and pushed into the cutter.

I figure the best option would be a male 90 degree chamfer grinding bit. But I want the tool to go around, so I would need an orbital action. Almost like I had a bit in the orbital gear in a planetary gear box. That way the bit spins fast enough to remove material, and the bit spins it's way around the rod.

Any ideas? It seem all the orbital sanders are *random* and that's not what I want.

Thanks!
