I will bust out some Zombie patterns on some real pumpkins closer to the 31st but in the meantime, here are my St0ney carves. I also have a youtube playlist showing the Eddie carve start to finish. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXhi40gg3cyzSNPuonLW6UysDI35yWuPr" onclick="window.open(this.hr...
*cough*.....(some of us old guys still have their Voltron toy.)
Statement made for a friend.
I'm an old man but i am eagerly awaiting the new Clayfighter next year.
So...I took a look at my flex shafts. I removed the end cap and measured how much threads I have exposed. It is a full 3/8ths of an inch of threads. When fully closed my chuck just clears by 1/16th of an inch. This was consistant on both of my dremels. If your threads are 3/8ths or more you most lik...
It depends on what you are carving.
If it is a simple design then yes.
If it is the type of designs that I carve....the answer is SURE!...if you love pain and discomfort.
It would be like shoveling snow with a popsicle stick.
When I get home today I will measure how far the treads stick out on mine. I might also take it apart to see where the whole thing seats into the handle. Yours might just be out of position.
There is certainly something wrong with that flex shaft. Fully closed my keyless still has a 1/8th inch gap.

Also...how is yours set up?
if there is any binding in the shaft it will cause pre-mature failure.
I hand my unit from the ceiling with a bungee cord so that the flex shaft tip is just the right height and the shaft stays straight.
The chuck itself should have no interferrence on the shaft whatsoever. Two things to check....have you serviced the cable inside the flex shaft? I do this several times a year. It involves removing the cable, cleaning, and re-oiling. Next comes your brushes. they are easily replaceable and cause 90%...
