Don't go there. :P

With my back, and the prescription drugs I 'neck' every day.....That would be something of a waste.

I'm sure it will be, Nobby.

(I failed the original test on how to fit the wossname, onto the Dremmel.  :-[..But I've sussed it now...Huzzah !  :-bd.....Had to change the collet and pull the 'spring' back from the flexishaft ....THEN I could tighten the fitting on the Dremmel, itself.)

Be interesting to see how it changes the way you work. I find the flexi-hose thing makes the Dremel much lighter, so I can control it better.

You, with your sinewy, calloused, cut-about hands, are probably so adept a wafting the full weight Dremmel around, that you'll probably start off by overcompensating.

Collett - That's a strange word.

One question I've got.....

The vids I've looked at on YouTube, give the impression that you MUST 'dangle' the flexishaft, and not have it lying across the table-top.
I'm assuming, that's from a safety point of view.....Anybody just ignore this 'tip' ?

I can probably use a drawer handle to do this, if it's critical.

Plasters on standby.  :D

Which bit rotates?

I'm sure the one I got (which I have never used) came with a stand thing to hang the dremal from.

The end of the 'pen' like do-dah, Forbes.

The Dremmel itself, rotates a springy like thing through the flexishaft to the aforementioned 'pen'. (Damn....I'm SO good at explaining things... X_X)

I have just left the Dremel laying there, but it would probably Vibrate across a smooth the desk top. When I used it last the dremel was laying on the carpet so would not move.

Perhaps put Dremel in a box or draw to stop it moving

Thanks, Mark.

If I find its really necessary, I'll just screw a cup hook into the desk somewhere, and dangle it from there.
(The desk isn't precious, so I won't get into trouble.  :D)

When using the flexible shaft (their name, not mine) I hang the Dremel itself from the drill stand.  Just stops the Dremel skittering away.
