| The advantage of the flex shaft is that it lets you hang the Dremel on the stand, using a pencil-like tool at the "business end", to which you attach your bits (drill, polisher, engraver, or whatever). Because you're not holding the Dremel itself - only the flex shaft - you don't need to deal with the vibrations and weight of the Dremel, letting you do finer work. With the engine parked on the stand, you can grip the flex shaft like a pencil, giving you much more control over what you're doing. Get this stand, along with the flex shaft attachment for your Dremel model, if you're doing any sort of fine craft work or engraving - it's well worth it. |
