I broke my Foredom flex shaft. It's gonna take four days to get a replacement. :(

Welp I reckon I could remodel some more.......

if you stop beating your flex shaft so hard it wouldn't break,, you need to go to the er and have a cast put on it:hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange::hmm3grin2orange:

Did you break just the inner flex drive? If so ,go to the parts store (Napa or etc.) and get some speedo cable and make a new one.

A hi speed1/8th in air grinder works real well get one at Harbor freight. I use air grinders all the time to modify stainless steel extrusion tooling as well as chainsaw engines. They don't use that much air and ones with front exhaust keep the work surface clear of chips while grinding. You can also get 1/4 in as well.
