I was wondering if any one has used a Foredom hand piece as a mill or has heard of this being done for Ti folder parts?
 
Haven't heard about doing that for Ti parts.

Foredom handpieces are used for all kinds of "milling operations" in jewelry and wax.
Here are some examples of that:

Here's discussion of the handpiece being used in conjunction with CNC mills

Here's a pic of a Sherline CNC mill using Foredom handpiece as spindle:
(You probably could use such a thing for titanium parts, but it would be pretty limiting--definitely sub-optimal)
