Quality


It really is well made and good torque.


It is a nicely finished machine with an extremely flexible and comfortable flexible shaft and hand piece.


There's two 608 (skateboard) bearings that i swapped out for 4 higher quality bearings (using washers and spacers to get the spacing right.


It took all of 10 minutes to disassemble and grease up with high temperature grease.

    People have mentioned the cords are too short


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I made a support using 38” threaded rod bent over at the top and bolted onto a plywood base


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only problem was that the motor is really torquey and threatened to twist off the sand


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I added a couple of nuts an advantage of a threaded rod and locked it in with a cable tie


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It literally outperforms both my dremel and my die grinder


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Obviously the short cord shaft is a sacrifice but you cant transfer this much torque and power down a 10 foot cord
