They will be the ones I'm looking at Roy Thanks. We watch you on TV via ThatCakeLady account. I saw a cheap rock saw with a thin blade; it comes as a kit. All plastic case but perfect for me, to not have to go to the Gem Club to use their gear. I'm sure I saw you use one? regards Paul.
I'm almost ready to do a longer term review on these after a few months of use. The fake Foredom style one is a pretty strong winner. All plastic case saw is fine as long as the blade spins, stays wet and straight its a winner.
Cheers for the info. I use a Dremel with a flex shaft and find it 'bogs down' quite easily which it not great. I have always wondered what differences there might be with the stylus/handle as well. I.e. what size, weight and ergonimics, and also which flext shafts are more supple.
Thanks Roy, that was very much appreciated. Unfortunately I was gifted a brand new Ryobi Rotary Tool (plug in with variable speed like your Ozito) & it is to cumbersome to put any of the bits you use. When I saw this clip I now know I need a flex drive. I am interested in one of your starter kits actually but first I've just looked at flex drives & Ryobi make one. Are you familiar? Will the flex attach by unscrewing the keyless chuck on my Ryobi tool, do you know at all. Thanks mate Paul
I just had a good look at the plug in 240v that I've got; no luck. It's a quick chuck hard up on armature shaft. It would do the job but a thin flex shaft would be better. Now that I've seen this show of yours I will sort it out, thanks Roy.
Hey Roy- thanks for the model comparison! I might find the foot pedal annoying- but any thoughts as to any kind of intermediary power regulator? I also thought of something like a wedge with stepped heights from high (lowest speed) & increments going down to low (highest speed) - that you pull in & out of the foot pedal… that way you can just hit the speed you want without having to approximate it every time- and less fatigue. Possibility?
Hey man, I thought the foot pedal was annoying at first but that part I am loving now. Instant ability to up the speed at times I need it. I have seen people using door stopper wedges and rubber bands otherwise I am thinking of making a dial style adapter since I am doing so much electrical work these days.
Thanks Roy. I'm late. You tube is not giving me anything but junk stuff. Very few of my channels notifications are coming through. Apologies for tardiness. 😢
Haha youtube doing youtube things. I keep getting recommended rubbish as well when all I really need are my Pulitzer opal, BOD, nnopals and opal mills videos.
@RoysRocks Tried to email you, couple of times. Not good. Don't know if got through. I have some cash saved. Twice last. I would like you to get me on some really nice rough. Half is for one belemnite. I'm obsessed by them. If possible. Shoot me an email and I'll try and get it right!

I feel like Roy’s dentistry is just around the corner. Thanks so much for trialling these, really interesting stuff
Haha I need some dentistry... all I need is a mirror.
😆
Just not having to switch the collects over is worth the price - thank you for the reviews!!
Haha true if you have many different sized burs. It saves so much time and these jaws are much better than most I have tried so far.
I fancy getting a flex shaft motor so this is very handy. thanks 2x👍
No worries. S-R is the current winner. Might just be a higher quality motor because it almost feels stronger than the 380W
Great 👍 ntel and appreciate the effort it takes for these demo videos
No worries. Good to test these things so others dont waste time and money on the wrong one.
@@RoysRocks fair point
Great review Roy..
Well.!!!… I will Be working on videos for editing today and upload them soon..
Have a great day.
Cheers Tony 👍🍻⛏️
Oh cool. More golden nuggets were found then?
Guess you never come back empty handed.

Good comparisons.
Thanks hopefully it helps people make a low budget choice.
Well this us handy considering mine burnt out just before your previous video XD
Ah RIP. I'm sure my Ozito is on the verge of dying. High speed it sounds like it is about to explode. Brushes are probably getting chewed up.
@@RoysRocks I took it apart and the coating on the coils had melted and seized the motor
@@Scarlet_Soul Ah yeah I've seen that before. No carbon brush replacement is going to fix that and not worth a rebuild.
Cheers for the info. I use a Dremel with a flex shaft and find it 'bogs down' quite easily which it not great. I have always wondered what differences there might be with the stylus/handle as well. I.e. what size, weight and ergonimics, and also which flext shafts are more supple.
I like the Ozito slim hand piece but many find them to small and prefer the chunky foredom style handpieces.
I might just need to adjust.
I have to check out the 780.
Man that thing is a beast. What are you carving?
@@RoysRocks High speed steel and tungsten carbide,
Thanks Roy, that was very much appreciated. Unfortunately I was gifted a brand new Ryobi Rotary Tool (plug in with variable speed like your Ozito) & it is to cumbersome to put any of the bits you use. When I saw this clip I now know I need a flex drive. I am interested in one of your starter kits actually but first I've just looked at flex drives & Ryobi make one. Are you familiar? Will the flex attach by unscrewing the keyless chuck on my Ryobi tool, do you know at all. Thanks mate Paul
I know ryobi have a battery operated flex shaft tool but not sure if it can be used on the handheld rotary tool.
@@RoysRocks yeah, same Roy. I might take the keyless chuck off & measure the thread size. I'll let you know what I figure out mate.
I just had a good look at the plug in 240v that I've got; no luck. It's a quick chuck hard up on armature shaft. It would do the job but a thin flex shaft would be better. Now that I've seen this show of yours I will sort it out, thanks Roy.

@@RoysRocksyou’re the man that can ! 😎 good to know re: the foot pedal. I’ll certainly consider these machines in future
Thanks Roy. I'm late. You tube is not giving me anything but junk stuff. Very few of my channels notifications are coming through. Apologies for tardiness. 😢
Haha youtube doing youtube things.
I keep getting recommended rubbish as well when all I really need are my Pulitzer opal, BOD, nnopals and opal mills videos.
@RoysRocks Tried to email you, couple of times. Not good. Don't know if got through. I have some cash saved. Twice last. I would like you to get me on some really nice rough. Half is for one belemnite. I'm obsessed by them. If possible. Shoot me an email and I'll try and get it right!
Good morning, Roy. Are you recording in pyjamas?😅 😂.
Nah just my penguin oodie.
I bought one of these second hand... it broke...
I dont think I would ever buy a second-hand flex shaft unless it was a foredom for a tenth of the price of a new one.
@RoysRocks I wouldn't either... now!
Thanks for the reviews, added to my wish list!
Happy to help.
I'll keep using them and see if I have any issues.
