[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FundyNorthern I have a Dremel with the flex shaft, but don't use it. To me the flex shaft doesn't flex enough. It is stiff to hold and no where as versatile as a stand alone Dremel tool. I have two regular Dremels, an older single speed model and a newer one with the speed adjustment. I use the older single speed one the most, as I have it hooked up to a foot pedal from an old sewing machine, and this gives me a greater range of speeds than the one with the individual speeds. Bob Boudreau [/quote] Bob, You have given me a perfectly evil idea! [}:)] Let me start my saying that I too, had a single speed unit, which was replaced by one with rotary control. I liked that, but eventually it died [V] and was replaced a few years ago by the latest rendition, (actually 2 of them) with the 5 position slide switch. What a piece of crap! [:(!] Both of them will change speeds on me, as vibrations affect the switch and can cause it to move while you are working! I never even thought of just using a sewing machine foot pedal control for one, (after taping the switch on 5 ). Here's the evil part. There is a sewing machine and controller that live under a pile of "girlie stuff" in the craft area of the basement. I'm thinking that the controller could be liberated![oX)][yeah] Wow, I never woulda thunk it without y'alls help!!![(-D][:-,][swg][(-D][:-,][swg][:-^]
