<div>Yes, I ordered a flex shaft for a dremel, three different small chuck systems to try with other motors and one model airplane motor (with speed control and a servo tester to act as the speed interface).</div><div><br>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br><br>I think a dremel flex shaft would be good for balsa cutting. If you remove<br>the cap on the end, the thread could be used to mount it to the machine.<br>You then have all of the dremel collets available for bit holding. This<br>
would probably work for engraving too. I doubt it would be rigid enough for<br>any metal work, but you might be able to cut some plastics or do pcb milling<br>with it too.<br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>
