Thanks for the advice I'll order 2 of them learning alot from you I retired last year and have enjoyed the hobby alot
Awesome thank you and congrats
I'm planning to take apart the flex shaft in order to grease it up a bit. A quick search and I spotted your video. Thanks to you, I now know how.
Aweome :)
That makes a lot of sense now that I think about it with over greasing I always wondered why the dang thing _wood_ get so hot after cleaning thank you
I just snapped my first inner cable. The Burr got snagged in my shirt. Thanks for showing this. The cable is 16 bucks and the whole flexshaft is 65 in New Zealand. Gonna save me some coin😀
Ok wicked just make sure its the rite one
Hi there Jordy, I've heard some people have problems with their Flex shaft and in the UK they're £29.00 . Then I found that Dremel sell a spare drive cable. So...... I thought how do you fix them and found your video. ACE. You've nailed it, I'm saving this video in case I need it. Thank again Jordy.
Don’t know why I never saw this Jordy. I’ve thrown away 2 flex shafts after having them break. Never again!! Thanks brother!
I bought this flex shaft from Amazon and it is just incredible the large amounts of grease they apply to these things at the factory They recommend that before first use to run it for 2 minutes at full speed with the shaft hanging at a vertical in order to redistribute the packed grease. Afterwards mine did not heat much but I could smell and see small amounts of grease around the front end of shaft! Thanks for the info, very useful to know it doest need to be re- greased only switching inner shafts.
Thanks for this! Really helped when the inner shaft fell out!!!
Thank You Jordy!
I’ve been running this threw my head since we last talked. I haven’t had the money to buy the new inner shaft, since you told me it’s replaceable. Of course I’ve bought 4 flex shafts to date not knowing it’s fixable, so I shouldn’t ever have to buy another new shaft, now that I know. Also I should have plenty of parts incase something else breaks.
This video is another one of your most helpful videos, and now I finally know how to open up that Handle. Thanks again Jordy!
✌🏽🧙🏽♂️
Thanks for this, bud, fixed mine in five minutes because of this tutorial.
Awesomeness and thanks
thanks Jordy wish I had seen this video before I broke my flex shaft at least now I have a spare
Thanks I had a flex shaft that now is missing the inner shaft. You have inspired me to give it a shot to repair it. It’s not Dremel brand but was planning to get the Dremel brand if repair does not work. Thanks for an excellent tutorial - right to the point and well demonstrated. I assume you do carving based on the into. Glad to find your channel.
Thanks doc c
great video thanks the problem i have is really bad vibration on the flex shaft handpiece
cheers
When you said that you can take things apart but can't put them back together, I said to myself that is me. I can never put things back as they should be. Thanks for showing how to fix it.
Answered and demonstrated so well, made it simple stupid to get this understood and take up anytime solo.
literally didnt realize it would just slide right out....lol, thanks for the heads up! replaced mine in two seconds....lmfao
Thanks a lot! I opened mine, the cable had only become loose after it fell 2 feet. Retightened it, spun up!
Perfect! My cable just f*d up. Great video. Gawd your videos are so handy to me. Thanks again from Thunder Bay
Thanks Jordy! Yeah my old flex shaft was the ancient kind that didn't come apart. It bit the dust and I had to buy a new on, like you demonstrated. Easy fix for the new ones! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, yet again Guru!
Was yours an all metal shaft? Mine is, and I'm humming and hawing over if there is a way to get at the inside of it.
Thanks Jordy......ordered myself 3 new shafts directly from Dremel in Wisconsin and paid $4.90 each. Sure beats the $10.00 plus on sites such as Amazon. Fast shipping also and great folks to works with. Have a good one......
Thanks Jordy for taking the time to help us out on fixing our flex shaft
Thanks for the info, just fixed my mastercraft dremel, it was a little different but your video proved it could be done 👍
Thanks you for sharing this tip 🐱 I have my dremel for 20 years (the 200 model) and it's still working. But I have some troubles with the pin of the flex shaft, now I now what to do. Thanks you so much 🐱
:)
Thanks i’ve been watching your carving videos for a while. My button wouldn’t work on the Dremel flex shaft handle. Thanks for your video. I see that they put those two metal rings. Because I couldn’t get my bit out of the handle. What I did is I drilled out that hole that was there 1/8 now I can use the bits or a piece of metal down in there to loosen or tighten when I’m replacing my bits and I don’t have to worry about that button breaking again. And when you look in there that shaft is so far away from the plastic that if your finger touches the hole, you’re not gonna touch the spinning metal. I called Dremel up anyway and told them how do I fix this I guess they’re gonna send me a new flex shaft for free and a new bit. But it’s one of your kind of bits kutzall Xtreme.
Broke mine before I even got to use it so thank you for this!
Thanks for the GREAT VIDEO. The Flexshaft I have feels stripped. I’m guessing it’s time for a replacement.
Stripped?
@@CarvingFusion It feels like the treads are broken. I cannot tighten it. It just keeps revolving around the threaded part.
Thanks Jordy i have the number off the inner flex shaft steal kabel and order it today i have more off that orders nou wait a few days easy iff you knoe how😅thanks Jordymber
Mr. Light Hands is your new nickname. Well explained, good job
Hi Jordy, here's a tip for that annoying little button. Flip the hand piece over with the logo facing down and remove the rotary shaft and two bearings with the tension clip and button last. Put it back together in the opposite order....easy peasy. I figured that out after much frustration :) Great Video and love your channel :)
In not really sure what you mean
@@CarvingFusion In your video you are putting the button in last, when you are putting it back together flip the housing over and put the button in first then the tension clip and the rotary shaft and then install the other half of the housing. That way you don't have to try and balance the little button when your putting it all back together.....
Thanks Jordy
Thanks - great breakdown on the hand piece.
Nice video, I personally never buy original dremel parts, you can get a complete flexi cable,made in china specials,for what you pay for the inners..I've never had any issues with the cheaper bits..
Thanks a ton
So helpful !
Patricia
Just the info I needed. Wrapped my kutzall bit in my t shirt
My wife asked me 2 months ago to trouble shoot hers, wish I'd watched this first thanks homey!!
I was totally expecting a captain heavy hands party foul not a damn rag snag lol but thanks for the reminder to lube my tube keep makin the the vids bro much love from the east coast
I know it just went to smooth something is wrong
Thank you
Seems to me that too much grease in the shaft is better than not enough, since lubricant reduces friction and therefore heat. I add a few drops of oil after long jobs, which must help because the spin is then quieter and smoother. Thanks for making the video and sharing your experience.
Your opinion on the few drops of grease makes sense to me, but what kinda oil? Can I use a spritz of wd-40? Or silicone?
@@B0Nnaaay The rotating shaft can be removed easily for cleaning, so even heavy motor oil will work fine. WD40 is perfect, but such light lubricant does not last very long. I am unsure about silicone and graphite products as build up might occur, and cleaning may be difficult.
@@B0Nnaaay Please do not use WD-40. This is NOT a lubricant (unfortunately that‘s a common misconception)! Dremel recommends using ball-bearing grease.
You're a lifesaver Jordy. Tnx
You’re the friggin’ best Jordy. Thank you.
thank you very much🥰
The problem is, there's nothing that holds the cable on the inside. If you pull it in the other direction, it just comes out .
Does the flex shaft run counter clockwise or clockwise? I actually replaced mine and really noticed what direction the dremel flexible shaft turned.
Mines going counter clockwise.
Yes counter clockwise
Nice video! What if I haven't used my shaft for about 5 years. Is it ok to run without adding grease?
I'd at least wipe it clean and maybe a touch of grease, thank you
Thank you for sharing this videa
Lol this video is a life saver
Hi Jordy thank you so much for this video.It is so helpful.I was working on something yesterday and the inner tube came off completely from the black tube also the spring and the attachment on the other end.It seems that the outside spring and the attachment are loose and every time I try to stick them together they come off.Is it because I probably lost something there?Perhaps one of those rings on the actual pen?
Also I can't open the actual pen😣
Thank you so much for sharing your video! I was just about to head to home Depot and buy a new one. I have a Ryobi Dremel and cannot find the replacement cable for Ryobi. Do you know if I have to buy a Ryobi cable or can I buy another brand?
I'm just not sure, measure it and find out how long the dremel one is
Thanks, your tutorial helped alot.
I bought a brand new Dremel 300 kit. I went to attach the flex shaft and there was no cable inside it!! Try explaining that to customer services. They don't want to know. Thanks Dremel.
Do you recommend greasing the new cable before you install it?
Myself I do not ree grease
Hello from NS! Do you know if the Dremel model I have can be repaired? Mine is all metal though and is one solid hand piece. I don't know if there is a trick to getting at the guts inside or if this one's screwed. The model I have is a Dremel 225 T2.
Sorry I'm just not to sure
John L. Ireland. Dos a Flex shaft fit any Dremel. I have Dremel 3000. Thanks four your help.
Yes it will fit 3000
Thank you, thank you!!!!!! My flextool is saved ❤️❤️
If anyone happens to have a wen flex shaft it's inner core fits the dremel flex shaft.
Thanks Jordy, I had the exact thing happen. Love your channel!
Thank you too
Very useful 👍😊
Thank you, I got mine fixed!
Muchas gracias, me vino muy bien tu video para poder reparar mi eje flexible.
I have a Ryobi Dremel with flexshaft and, it doesnt have screws and doesnt look like its made to be taken apart :(
Thanks bro 🙏 🥂
Thanks for sharing this it will come in really useful
Thank you for this! Was worried about finding a video for changing it!
Excellent!! Thanks Jordy!!
so my flex shift was doing great for a few months but now starting to heat up in the handle? am I needing to take it apart as well to clean or what should I do? Google says to grease it with high speed bearing grease?
No I believe your handpiece has to much grease In it now, I would run holding ur handpiece towards the sky and run full speed for 5 min, this should heat up the grease and run down imter flex shaft, then remove the flexshaft and wipe the grease off the inter shaft :)
Thanks Jordy!
My bit quit spinning so I bought a new spring. When I took it apart I was surprised to see the spring was not broken?? I installed the new spring and the bit still does not spin.
Take your handpiece apart and have a look
@@CarvingFusion Everything looks normal inside the handpiece. Does the collet on the motor wear out?
@@mpwoodworks3138 is it a dremel and dremel flex shaft you are using?
@@CarvingFusion Yes Dremel 3400 and Dremel flexshaft.
@M&P Woodworks Do u have the square drive cotter that comes with the dremel flex shaft on the dremel it self, (it's silver)
Thank you for this video. I appreciate the help.
I paid 13.00 a piece on Amazon for my inner flex shaft. Jim's wood shop
Jordy , thank you 😊
I bought a flex shaft, and it seems it will turn and work until I screw in the flex shaft. Why isn't it turning?
Make sure u use the silver nut with the square drive to the inter flex shaft into
Thank you very much
All you had to do was use some needle nose pliers and pull that little wire out that's what I did and it works perfect instead of doing all this I'm going to tear it all apart just to pull that back out and then put it back together really it took me literally 30 seconds to find my needle nose pliers and another five seconds to pull that wire out as much as you need without no hassle I did this with an under a minute and got my rotary tool working. Just use needle nose pliers to pull out a little bit and that's all you have to do
Good stuff
Ive got the other side just disconnected can you help?
I don't understand
was there another piece of the broken shaft? you showed where it snapped but isn't there another piece?
Yup there was
Are u a dremel detective? :)
@@CarvingFusion haha no just was curious what happened to it
@@ClevesBackyardWoodworking it was about a inch long and was still on the dremel itself
@@ClevesBackyardWoodworking cleave cleave the dremel detective ahahab thats it,
He is here to solve anouther case if the broken flex shaft!! :)
I think they want u to re grease it because the inner shaft free floats so the grease would help it kinda stay in
Sorry no, I use less grease
@@CarvingFusion I hear ya but I notice if I hold mine straight up it slides out
Thanks for the tutorial! Can I ask, what pedal do you use please?
Thank I, just any pedal for on off will work
I got a couple of the old school flex shafts that are broken will this inner shaft fit it . Thanks for the vid .
Why don't warranty cover all these? and now that you've opened it and performed some repair, won't that have voided your warranty right as well?
Besides, what was the essence of taking the hand-piece apart? there are tons of videos showing people changing inner core shaft without touching the hand-piece so, why the extra effort?
Sometimes u need to take the handpiece apart to get to the broken intershaft, (when warranty is over)
Good deal Lucille. 👍👍
The "collet" is the peice that actually grips the bit right? Is the collet for the flex shaft a different size than the dremel itself? I lost my collet and nut for my flex shaft but I think it's a different size than it is for the dremel. Where can I find these parts?
Yup call dremel
my shaft wont start rotating if i full adjust the black base to my dremel 3000 like i just have to leave it a bit loose for it to rotate and in some point it will come off, any idea whats wrong? been working like this since many years but today it started to sound ugly and when i detached it , the inner rod just slide completely out D: thanks for reading!
Is it a dremel flex shaft or a knock off? I would say get the real dremel flex shaft
I have the same issue, no knock off i even bought a new flex shaft to make sure it was not broken but it still isnt rotating. Any ideas what the issue could be?
How do I know if it’s broken or not. It just stopped working. I never seen it act funny or smell or make funny noises thanks
Pull the inter shafy out and see if it's broken :)
All I do is metal solder the flex cable back together !🤔🤫😬😲😅🤣
Lol
Good stuff brother.
Cool you the man
Thanks J
What if it catches your stomachs, will it snap?
Yup
I have a big question.
Where do I (or anybody else) search to find a foot pedal? I’ve wanted one since I first started following you here on RUclips. Back then I half ass attempted to search for one, but didn’t know what to type in the search bar, everything I typed in wasn’t what I was looking for. Lol
So what is their brand name, and model numbers? If you don’t mind!!!!! 😉
Needle nose pliers will do the job bro you do not have to tear this down.
very easy
My Dremmel 4400 runs fine without the flex shaft attached. When I attach the shaft, the rpm slows down noticeably. Could this inner mechanism cause this? (I’ve had the entire setup for about 8 months and worked great until yesterday. No snags, just started slowing down its RPMs.). Thanks
Should be a 4000 not 4400
Run fell speed with the shaft on ut and let it break in
Thanks bud
Number 1# jordy
There's just about no information about using the flexshaft when you get it. All it says is how to attach and don't bend less than 5inch diameter, even though mine came in a 4 inch box.
No info on how to disassemble, even though it says lubricate inner shaft every 10 hours.
Why are they keeping it all secret?
I'm already annoyed I'm not supposed to lay it on the desk and am supposed to buy a bracket to hook it up on 🤨
Just have fun is all I can say
@@CarvingFusion yep, you're right.
Jordy....that's a Phillips head screw driver not a start head. Star head is a torx bit such as a T-25 that's a P-1 for Philip's. I'm sure you know your wording just may confuse those who dont.
Thanks jordy
Life saver Jordy thanks.
Thanks Jordy
:)
Thanks Jordy
