Dremel saw bit but for a drill?

Can you buy a dremel style mini rotary saw bit that attaches to a standard drill?
Been looking around the net but cant find anything unless im not looking hard enough!
Probably only a one job item so didnt really want to go to the expense of buying a whole dremel set.
I need to make a couple precision cuts to a section of mild steel.
Thanks

    The 'saw' will fit in a drill chuck.
    However the drill wont spin as fast as the Dremel.
    I love my Dremel!

    Be careful of doing that! While the bit speed will be lower, the torque on it might be higher and the weak point could be the Dremel blade. If it breaks at high speed you could have a very dangerous sharp piece of metal flying at you!

    my thoughts exactly.

    I would rather buy a hand saw and do it the old fashioned way than risk mixing parts like that.
