Dremel Flexshaft Snapped
Hello,
While using my Dremel to cut some wood, the cable inside the
flexshaft snapped. Does anyone know if you can buy the
cable separately or do I have to buy a new flexshaft? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you have to buy a new shaft, but they're cheap enough so it shouldn't be a problem.

New flexshaft. Did you raise the flexshaft above the dremel? You aren't supposed to do that cause it messes up the spinning. Why did it snap?

I had it going at pretty high speed and it got bound up, then
snapped. I thing for cutting I'll go without the flexshaft.

For those of you interested, you can order a new cable
through Dremel customer service. It costs $4.90, much
better than shelling out $30 for a new flexshaft.
