Why Choose a Foredom or Grobet Flex Shaft?
Flex Shafts
A quality flex shaft (also known as a pendant drill) is an essential companion in any jeweller’s workspace. Mounted above your bench, either from a hook or a dedicated stand, the motor remains out of the way, reducing strain on your hand.
This setup allows you to work with a lightweight handpiece, giving you better control and freedom of movement. Flex shafts are ideal for a wide range of tasks: drilling, grinding, polishing, engraving, and more.
