Flex Shaft Maintenance. Dremel, Foredom, Rotary Tool, Pendant Motor Maintenance

[@bbisyy4u]

I’ve never considered needing to do maintenance on my Dremel. Good to know. I would likely have just tossed it and gotten a new one. Great video.

[@RoysRocks]

It'll probably double the tools lifespan minimum if you just keep an eye on the lubrication.

[@charleslatre1436]

Can't really beat that $5 a year hell of a good run id say

[@RoysRocks]

It was cheap at the time but once averaged out over the years and considering some of the stones I have cut... Worth every dollar.

You may get a whole new audience with that thumbnail 😂

[@RoysRocks]

Haha you should see some of my attempts at AI generated thumbnails for this... dont know what I typed but... it wasnt good.

Great video for al of us. My Ozito was a return to shop. They had not seated the flex drive properly. I got it for 25 dollars! 12 volt, though. A traveller. Now have bigger one and a mains powered one! All are excellent tools. My trusty Ozito everything! 18 volt stuff mostly. Never have let me down.

[@RoysRocks]

I'm going full Ryobi 18V range when I can. They have everything including a flex shaft that I want to try out.

[@nancycurtis7315]

@@RoysRocks Mine's an 18 volt Oz!

[@hannagyllensten475]

Used a machine laying around when I first started with opals, that had exactly these issues, so I got a small battery-tool instead. May be able to save the old one now after your video, sweet, thanks!

[@RoysRocks]

Possibly. Hopefully you can resurrect it. The battery ones can be a bit underpowered and I like a lot of hours of carving especially on the weekend.

[@elishadoyle8191]

Cheers for this video. I really needed to see this as many other people would have too.

[@RoysRocks]

Hopefully it saves you from a breakdown. Get those tools lasting year longer for the ultra value.

[@RelOKeefe]

Thanks heaps this is brilliant and I’ll be doing this on my ozito and ryobi 😊

[@RoysRocks]

Nice get a few more years of life out of them by looking after them even if just once a year.

[@Scarlet_Soul]

Remember never to bend your shaft too much

[@nancycurtis7315]

Naughty! 😂

[@RoysRocks]

Haha there were so many opportunities for jokes in this one. I even trimmed some out during editing to keep it serious.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

good info mate , will you be selling the dermal that you going to retire ?

[@RoysRocks]

Nah poor thing might be on the brink and a brand new one is $55 down the street with 3-year warrantee.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

@@RoysRocks ok thanks
