Customer Reviews for S-R Hanging Flexshaft Mill 230W 4mm Jewelry Design&Repair Tools Brand New

This thing has lots of torque. I use it to carve wood and require lots of material removal. Works well

Very nice, easy to use, powerful, I can't think of anything I don't like about it.

Works great, I wish it was a little faster, but has plenty of power so it works for what I need

Excellent

My dremel 300 is barely alive after 15 years of metal polishing, drilling, cutting bolts, trimming siding installs with who knows how many hours. The power cable is so chemically destroyed from metal polishing that it crumbling. The rubber casing is almost completely dissolved off. The speed controller works intermittently. The bearings are so worn that it gets too hot to hold after 30 mins of straight usage. Repairing it is not cost effective.It was time to upgrade!I purchased a Dremel 4300 to replace it. It just too big to hold for long periods. Purchased the flex cable. Mounted it and the cable vibrates way too much. Then I didn't like that the speed control and power switch were too far away. I purchased a footswitch... That didn't work. Turned up the speed control to 100% then the pedal cuts in and out. Can't use it on an speed controlled dremel. Can't use a foot switch on any electric motors with centrifugal switches either. Now it was over $200 into this setup and wasn't happy. Returned all of it.Searching and reading and comparing reviews for hours and hours lead me here to this unit. It was very close to the getting Dremel Fortiflex at $250. The harbor freight unit was out with way too many negative reviews. That was $50 too. It's a lot of work to try and determine the general unhappy whiners from real reviews with real problems.I picked this unit up after reading the reviews and taking the chance. I'm sure everyone has been there. The unit came in a generic foam packaging. It was setup quickly hanging up. Read the manual with adjusting the sheath at 3/4" and making sure it not being used in a tight angle. The sheath needed to be adjusted as it was sticking out at 1 1/4". I spinned it at slow speeds with a few burst speeds for 5 mins. No issues.The only problem so far is the chuck. The jaws get jammed during opening and closing at certain spots. Prepare for some back and forth with the wrench if the jaws get jammed. Remove the handpiece for this working of

Me llego antes de lo esperado, y me gusto mi artículo.Funciona a la perfección

A lot better than a Dremel. The keyed chuck will hold all Dremel accessories plus many more. I use it daily with great results.

The thing works, no terrible vibrations or anything weird so far.The manual is pretty much non-existent, and what exist is a terrible translation by a person who does not speak English. Well, not much use of the manual. The manual says max rpm is 12000, the sticker on the body says 25000. Audio spectrum analyzer for the noise produced by the motor shows a peak at around 390 Hz, which translates to 23000 rpm. Close enough, I guess.Next, the cables are short. You won't be able to hang this thing higher than 6' if you want the pedal to be on the ground and that would mean the cable going straight up from the pedal to the motor, no cable management possibilities.

Price and value of grinder completely beats more expensive tools.

This is by far the most useful rotary tool I've used so far.
