Customer Reviews for VEVOR Flex Shaft Grinder Rotary Tool 780W 6.5mm Chuck w/ Foot Pedal 45 Accessory

I recently purchaced one of these Foredom clone Rotary tools for general use and for porting chainsaw cylinders. It arrived as expected; in good working condition for a good price. No the build quality isn't as good as a real Foredom, But what do you expect for 1/10 of the price? (in my case). I've already found it saving me time and effort across a variety of projects where I would have had to use hand tools as an air powered die grider would have lacked the torque or control required; which this had. It is also works with the standard Fordom compatible handpieces avalible from a variety of sources. There are 2 things I would note from my order. 1) The Flex shaft wan't greased, so remember to do that before use. (it's basically an exact copy of a Foredom, so the parts aren't going to magically require less maintenance) 2) My unint included a (Foredom style) chuck key even though it is missing in the pictures on the webpage, so you might get lucky like I did, but as it isn't pictured or on the packing list I still wouldn't expect one.

It is easy to use and I like the variable speed control with the foot pedal. Much more powerful than my small hand held unit I have been using.

Perfectly functional flex shaft. Needed lubricant in the shaft before use, but that's easy enough.However, the only way there is 131 pieces in this package is if you count the individual parts of the motor and shaft.

Great service , fast turn around sbd delivery . Amazing product . Solid construction , full of features

It is a good tool. Performs very well

The flex shaft grinder has been a good tool so far, and at a great price. Looking forward to doing more business with vevor in the near future.

Motor isn't load , easy to hold when carving , flex shaft doesn't get hot , will add another in the shop soon

The versatility with the foot pedal, a 1/4" chuck, and having much more power makes a huge difference between this and a dremel type tool. The pedal's ability to start with rpms at a snail's pace makes up for being a bit too sensitive, and rpm can increase rapidly with little input. May be more convenient to use an adjustable knob set-up for long duration use. The chuck takes a lot more key rotation to change diameter than a normal drill, and can be frustrating as it can hang-up on the sharp corners of the handgrip, but can be remedied by filing a chamfer on corners (see pic). That and the fact that upon initial inspection I used the supplied allen wrench to remove flex cable from motor to find no lubrication on inner cable. I added wheel bearing grease to the cable and reinstalled without any issue as well as taking notes to order a new replacement cable in case of eventual failure. I wish I had a tool like this years ago but could only dream of it as the price of over $300 was prohibitive. I'm extremely pleased with it after the file mod and realize that it may have been a safety concern for not having the chamfer from the factory.

I got this for the bigger jobs I'm doing with wood carving and this helped a lot
