Thanks for this video. I have had a flex shaft for years, but never really felt a need to use it. But recently I did find a use. After watching your video I was able to set it u correctly. I actually still had all the parts. Very helpful
I have every kutzall I've bought using your code, I think 5 different ones. They work great and last a long time, I just clean them and they are pretty much new again 👍
I appreciate it. I'm new at this, and you pretty much covered all the experiences I've had in the last couple days. The biggest one that got me was the locking button on the flex shaft. I keep thinking it's an on/off switch, so I press it, and it grinds. I'd like to have a way to turn it on and off on the tool. The other issue was the inner flex shaft itself. Mine pulled out, and I wasn't sure how to get it back in, which you showed. So thank you for making the video.
I like your video. I hold the flex shaft between my Thumb and Index finger with the the Lock facing up so that way I won't be able to press on it. You had good tips that I did not know. Keep making some more good Dremel tips.
You have inspired me. Carved many woodsprits and tried different type of wood too. Osage orange is beautiful. Slow down on hard woods. The burr list made the world of difference. Tha ks so mush for sharing. You have saved me money, time and frustration.
Nice overview! I have a Dremel that's in the 3000 series and a Stylus Dremel and I have a flex shaft. I'm looking forward to learning about what kind of bits and burrs you use. Thanks for this series.
Wow, thank you about the grease trick and extra cables. I just bought the 8260 and the 130 piece box today. I still need the flex chord. I'm subscribing to your channel. Great video and straight to the point. 👍
Jordy You ARE THE MAN! As always the video was great. Lots of helpful info for beginners and novice power carvers. Thanks for sharing your knowlege....most of all thanks for giving back!
Jordy I still watch your old stuff too haha thanks for inspiring me into wood carving I would have never started had I not accidentally seen a wood spirit vid of yours where u kept saying "anybody can do it!"
thanks for the great tips jordy. I lost the driver cap for my brand new flexshaft already, so i emailed dremel about it and they sent me a new driver cap for free! awesomeeeee i have been trying to carve lady faces too lately(but on tiny whittles). i cant wait to see what you come up with on lady faces!!
doing a great job mate ,the one thing i find i go through the collets and most times you can only buy a set off say 10 but all different sizes ,and i am like you i try and use the same shaft size burrs
OK, great video! I did not know there was a square bit that went inside the Dremel tool for the flexshaft. (I always wondered what that was for). I would just tighten the normal bit on the shaft. Hopefully I didn’t mess it up.
The issue im having with my Flex is that if i fully tighten down to my 4000 it binds up and wont even turn at all. Feels like im going to fry out the motor.
@@CarvingFusion Yes Sir its a Dremel and i use the collet as well. It almost feels that the flex cable itself bottoms out into the Dremel and puts stress on the unit.
I would pull the inter flex shaft write out and see if it's clean, and try again, it should slide into the square collet easy on the dremel itself then some times u need to move the outer shaft around so u can feel the inter flex shaft slide into the hadpiece itself before u screw ir back onto the dremel
Good vid, good explanation's. Spike put the shaft part number on his comment. Saved me from diggin out a shaft to get the number, thanks Spike. Hi Jordy.
Thank you for the great information. I bought a cheap Wen with flex shaft and the inner shaft came out completely before I even used it. I got it running now. Is the inner core coming completely out common?
@@CarvingFusion It seems kinda shady. I'm new at rotary tools but I've done Instrumentation and Electrical work for almost 20 years and I can generalize and figure out how to fix problems regardless of the brand name of the product thanks to videos like this. Thanks again brudda.
Why wouldy/does my Flex Sheft vibrate so bad when it's running. It's bad enough that it affects grip and control. I've unattached it and re-attached a couple of times. I've only used it about 2 hrs total so I'd say it's still brand new.
I'd pull the inter shaft out and see if it's bent? Also sometimes the bearings inside of them are no good from the factory , if this is the case take it back and get another, or contact dremel as they are very helpful and should return it for u and send you a new one
TY Jordy! I have a brand new flex shaft, using the Dremel 8250. Would you suggest taking out the inner flexible shaft piece & wiping off the grease prior to running the new flex shaft 2-5 minutes as you said? TY Jordy! Keep your vids coming, so informative!! 😀
@CarvingFusion TY Jordy! I will do this in a bit. Wish me luck. I just bought the flex shaft & hope I don't mess up the process lol. I will have your vid up & running. TY Jordy! 😀
@CarvingFusion Jordy! It's wild the amount of grease on the inner flexible shaft piece! Wild! I'm going to do your next suggestion of running the dremel while it's lower & the flex shaft higher. Suggestions for a very basic, newbie, first carve? Something small to begin with. A 🌼? Love your trees & can't wait yo attempt those. TY so much Jordy! So much knowledge you share with your community. It is appreciated! 😀
Hi Jordy... Nice recap on the dremel and flex-shaft...I have the 3000 and its instructions also say to hang higher and run for about 5 minutes to set the brushes and distribute the oils/grease in the shaft/motor... How ya doing ?..hope Lee's well... Now on to the next...🌿🌿🌿
They do. I use then on mine. Some people don't like to use the chuck because they say they don't get tight enough, but they have a place,(at the bottom of the chuck), to use the dermel wrench on if you need it tighter. Some just don't like the chuck but I use them all the time with no problems.
I have a dremel 3000 and the speed dial is very sensitive it keeps stopping and you keep having to move the diall back and forth its like the vibration moves it
Sounds like a dirty switch. I don't know how old the dremel is, or you are, aging myself here, but in the old days when the TV channel knob had to be turned by hand to change channels, they would get dirty and not work right. We used contact cleaner to clean the channel dial inside the TV to clean the contacts. Don't know if that would help, but you might try spraying some contact cleaner into the switch and spin it several times. If you try this do it on an unplugged dermel and let the cleaner dry before you try it, unless the cleaner instructions say different. I don't think you would have to open the dremel, just spray some into the switch and rotate several times, but it might be necessary to get to the switch contacts. Not that hard to do. Contact cleaner is still available, used to clean plugs like stereo plugs from the amp to the speakers.
@@evilevilrick Ah the good old days when you had to get off the couch to change the channel. Recently watched a video where they put a rotary dial phone in front of a couple teenagers & they couldn't figure it out, they kept pushing on the numbers through the round holes over & ove......HILLARIOUS!!!!!!
@@crisscristea4876 Yah, doesn't surprise me. The Government controlled indoctrination system (skool) is and has failed the country, especially the children. No one is taught to actually think any more. Just do what the book or the gov says.
@@evilevilrick thanks i only have it a few days and from day one i wasn't happy with the speed dial when using it it would just switch off and you would have to re adjust the control iam just going to return it to the store and get a new one as its brand new and otherwise i would have tryed your suggestion
I'm here after recently getting a Dremel flex shaft kit and am so grateful for you breaking the info down for us newbies!
Glad to help!

oh my goodness....I could not have assembled this without your instructions! Thank you from a true beginner!
@kathy steffler. Would love to know what project you started with?

Thank you
I appreciate you taking the time to explain in detail. I have learned so much from you.
Thank you very much, Jordy. You helped me A LOT right now with this video. Ok, it's long, but worth watch it. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Thank u
Jordy You ARE THE MAN! As always the video was great. Lots of helpful info for beginners and novice power carvers. Thanks for sharing your knowlege....most of all thanks for giving back!
So many great suggestions that are true to point . Thanks Jordy for going back to basics you the Man!
Jordy . Don't worry about the length of your video , nice work .
I like the idea of the foot which because having to reach up and turn on and off on the unit is a pain.
Very very excellent. Perfect for someone like me who’s just beginning with the flex shaft
Ty so much just gotten dremel 4000 and flex shaft excited to use it love your shows they are very inspiring
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent! Much appreciated!
Thank you
Excellent. I haven’t hooked up my flex shaft yet but I learned a lot right here! Thanks.
Jordy I still watch your old stuff too haha thanks for inspiring me into wood carving I would have never started had I not accidentally seen a wood spirit vid of yours where u kept saying "anybody can do it!"

You are correct to much grease will cause heat!
I bought the kit at harbor freight and use that foot pedal to my other dremels.. foot speed control
OK, great video! I did not know there was a square bit that went inside the Dremel tool for the flexshaft. (I always wondered what that was for). I would just tighten the normal bit on the shaft. Hopefully I didn’t mess it up.
Great video Bro, thanks for all you do & hope your good
I buy the inner shafts for both Foredom, and Demml from Amazon myself.
The issue im having with my Flex is that if i fully tighten down to my 4000 it binds up and wont even turn at all. Feels like im going to fry out the motor.
Is it a dremel flex shaft? Do u use the square collet u get when u buy the dremel flex shaft?
@@CarvingFusion Yes Sir its a Dremel and i use the collet as well. It almost feels that the flex cable itself bottoms out into the Dremel and puts stress on the unit.

Hi Jordy, you forgot to mention the problems you had with the Dremel 4300, could you talk about them, please? Thank you 😊
Hi there, I did not have any problems with the 4300 besides it had to much power for me and I broke alot of flex shafts
@@CarvingFusion thank you!
If I set my dremel at low speed and push the foot pedal to the floor will I get the speed that the dremel is set to??
Yup

A flower is a great start and thank you :)
I don't have a compressor, so I keep a can of air, to blow things out
It wasn't long at all You gave a full explanation Did you say you can use Machine pedals ?? Thanku Jordy
Ty yes u can use sewing pedals
Good information. Appreciate it.
Great information as always.

How ya doing ?..hope Lee's well...

HI Jordy does the flex-shaft work with a Dremel multi-chuck instead of with collets tia
Yes
They do. I use then on mine. Some people don't like to use the chuck because they say they don't get tight enough, but they have a place,(at the bottom of the chuck), to use the dermel wrench on if you need it tighter. Some just don't like the chuck but I use them all the time with no problems.
Yes it does
@@evilevilrick
Damn mine usually gets too tight and i got to wrench it to let go

@@aidenfletcher6503 Yah if it's new, return it is best way to go.
All how much?
The inner for the Flexshaft Part No is also listed as 2610914543
Thanks spike
Try the dremmel 9100...you won't regret it.
Thanks but tried it and not for me
K
Sanding the brushes down like that will give the brushes less contact area than before which isn’t what you want
Lol Ya ok yup
430
Great video, thanks!
