I have a Foredom and a genric flexible shaft tool. Both are tearing up the
shafts and rubber sheath.
I can't get but a few hours before something breaks.Sometimes the rubber
sheath melts, sometimes the inner shaft snaps.
I have used alot of grease but that doesn't help.Can anybody tell me how to
extend the lifes of these shafts.
Thanks


if you're tearing them up that fast you should switch to a heavier
duty machine. try a die grinder.
