dlaery Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I have a variable speed dremel. I have had this for several years. I need another one and I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on using a flex shaft with the dremel? Does it turn smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basseducer Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 David, I have been using the flexshaft fot years now and I really like it. It is sooo much easier to manuver than the machine itself. Yes it is smooth. I use the small sanding drum with med to fine grit paper to clean up the spru scars on most of my baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted July 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thanks TJ. It looks like it would work good. I had looked at a 1/8" micro air grinder from Harber Freight but some of the reviews said it didn't run true. One of the things we use it for is drilling out eyelets that have powder paint in them and every time I need it someone else is using it.

Musky Glenn Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I have two and one of them is the cordless type, nice for light work. Battery last good on a charge. Musky Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlaery Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Thanks, I wondered about the cordless. I was looking for something not quite so bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalljaw Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Check Northern Tool, I got their brand dremel tool and it came in a kit, it is a variable speed that you can adjust as it is running, it came with 20 different bits as well as a few mandrels and cut off wheels and the best was the flex shaft!! It has a stand and I put the tool in this stand that c-clamps to my work bench and use the shaft by holding like a pen, it is amazing, the amazing part of what I have is I got all of that in a case for less than 30 dollars, that was 6 years ago but it is still working like a champ, I think their brand is a lot better than dremel to be honest.
