What operations are performed using an engraver with a flexible drive?

Special attachments help turn an engraver with a flexible shaft installed on it into a truly universal device, which include:

grinding and polishing wheels, allowing you to bring the surface of the workpiece to a perfectly smooth state;
brushes used for cleaning the surface of the product and polishing it in hard-to-reach places;
cutting wheels for cutting products and processing their torn edges;
drills, with the help of which the device turns into a miniature drill;
cutters and abrasive wheels that allow processing of products in hard-to-reach places;
pen-shaped attachments used for engraving work.

To ensure ease of operation with such a device equipped with a flexible drive shaft, you can purchase additional accessories - rubber grips on the handle, a power button lock, etc.

All kinds of holders are very useful, in which, in addition to the shaft and the engraver, you can attach various attachments

Engravers on which a flexible drive shaft is installed also include a drill used in dentistry, a manicure machine, equipment for processing natural stone and applying inscriptions and drawings to the surface of products made from it.

You can also use a flexible shaft for a drill or purchase a flexible shaft for a screwdriver. With this improvement to conventional power tools, a screwdriver attachment or drill can be successfully used to perform work even in the most difficult to reach places.

Flexible shaft design for drills and screwdrivers

The flexible shafts considered for drills differ depending on the manufacturer and the cost of the product. The basis of any device under consideration is a steel cable inside an armored base. It is with the help of such a cable that torque is transmitted from the drill chuck or screwdriver to the attachment lock at the end. Let's delve into the design of the device.

The base is made of armored wire in the shape of a spiral. To protect the internal structure of the device and prevent lubricant leakage, the outside of the spiral wire is coated with various soft materials. Often rubber is used for this, but other materials can also be used, such as silicone. Lubricant is poured into the power tool attachment to reduce friction and increase protection of the internal cable from abrasion.

Bearings play an important role in the design of the device. After all, it is to them that the cable is attached, which rotates during operation and transmits torque from the tool chuck to the working attachment. Cheap models are not equipped with bearings, but have a low service life. The price of the device in question is low, which makes the device affordable. If you are just going to buy a flexible shaft for a drill so as not to make it yourself, then you can do this at any construction center or online store.

Make your own flexible shaft for a drill

The cost of a high-quality device is high, especially considering the fact that if the product needs to be used, it will be in a one-time quantity. To avoid having to buy one, you can easily make a flexible shaft for your drill yourself.

To make flexible shafts for drills with your own hands, you will need to take any braided wire. It can also be purchased, which will cost ten times less than buying a ready-made nozzle. If you plan to wind a spiral wire around the cable yourself, then you need to understand that it is impossible to do this at home. After all, armor steel is used as a spiral base. When such a device operates, the steel cable rotates inside the shell, and the armor in the form of a spiral wire bends in any position, but does not move. During operation, the device is held by hand by the spiral wire.

This is interesting! To make a homemade device, a speedometer cable from a car or motorcycle available in the garage is suitable.

Finally, a shank is made for the flexible shaft, which is installed in the drill chuck. To do this, use the tail part of a damaged drill. The cable is connected to the shank by welding (other connection methods are unacceptable). A collet chuck is attached to the other end of the wire, which can be taken from another power tool. There are quite a lot of advantages to a homemade flexible shaft for screwdrivers and drills, but the most important thing is its low cost. Having used such a nozzle once for work, you can find out what its main advantage is and why manufacturers came up with this device. The ease of making an attachment in the form of a flexible shaft for a drill yourself makes it more interesting to make it yourself than to buy it on the Internet or a tool store.

Here's an interesting situation.
The product fully corresponds to the description. Efficient, can be used for its intended purpose. Looks beautiful. What else do you need? Well, I’m not happy - so who is to blame for the fact that my expectations were too high? No one. Apparently, there is no such shaft on sale as I dreamed of. We will look at the cardan if necessary. But the shaft under review has no advantages compared to the simplest Deshman shaft. So I ordered another cheap one for a dollar at a promotion on Girbest. At least it has a plastic case, it requires less holding with your hand.

Homemade flexible extension shaft for drill

Sometimes you need to tighten or unscrew a screw or nut in an inconvenient place and this becomes a problem. To solve it, I suggest rummaging around in the garage and finding a few parts from which we will make a flexible shaft for a drill with our own hands. With it, you can crawl into almost any corner and unscrew or tighten a previously inaccessible screw, screw, self-tapping screw or nut.
