    Folks, Thank you to all who replied to my question about the rotation
    direction of my Foredom tool.  I'm now MUCH more educated about it
    and got some excellent ideas. 

    As a result of your suggestions, I mounted the tool in a
    rubber-sided bench vise on my left, which is leaving my hands free
    to hold the piece I'm working on for buffing / polishing.  This has
    worked very nicely. 

    From the perspective of edge working and cutoff wheel work, I
    haven't yet found a good solution, but am trying several of the
    suggestions.  Part of the problem is that I've grown older, I've
    become increasingly right-handed  ;-)  I've got to overcome my
    tendency to hold the handpiece in my right hand and keep the work
    stationary. 

    On an interesting note, I called Foredom and gave them my model
    number and they had no idea what I was talking about.  Seems it's a
    model that hasn't been made since the 1970s.  So if anyone knows
    where I might get maintenance supplies and/or ops manuals, I'd be
    very appreciative! 

At any rate, thank you all!
