Hi Bjarte, In case the 'Sage of Upper Michigan' is out in his garden,
I'll mention that there are advantages to using a flex shaft and a
discarded motor. He can expound later. All best,


What? Recommend something cheaper? Something that doesn't burn your hand
from the heat it generates or fill the family TV with static?

Worse, the flex shaft is supported on a neutral tool rest, not the work,
generates less surface heat and keeps the sandpaper good longer. Doesn't
dive into the soft stuff and slide over the hard, that way either.

Now why would anyone want to use such a piece of gear when they could have a
heavy drill motor, however ergonomic, to use instead?
