You’ll Never Use a Flex Shaft Again

Take just a moment….think about the evolution of human transportation.  Not too many years ago if you wanted to go somewhere you would either walk or jump on your horse for him to take you to your destination.  With a little innovation and creativity the horse drawn buggy was born.  A much more exciting way to travel with a softer ride and even the ability to be pulled by a team of horses. In the span of just a few hundred years we move quickly through other means of more sophisticated transportation such as rail and even the automobile.

What used to be a multiple week journey across the United States, today can be done in just a few hours, reclined back in a soft chair, watching a movie while you are quickly flown to your destination. You’re probably wondering what this has to do with jewelry making?? The process of finishing and polishing a piece of handcrafted jewelry has gone through this same type of evolution. Are you still polishing your entire piece by hand or adding texture one stroke or one strike at a time?

I’m so excited to share this new product line with you, you will never want to polish or finish your jewelry by hand ever again.  You won’t even want to use a flexshaft again.  This new line of products will change the way you make jewelry and give you the ability to finish and polish your jewelry like you’ve never been able to before! The hammer hand-piece will texture your metal at up to 5,000 strokes per minute. You can polish your jewelry or finish at up to 45,000 RPM’s and anywhere in between.

JewelryTools.com is the first to carry this exclusive Eurotool line of Micro Motors.

   was thinking this was going to be a “review” of the product based upon the heading – but doesn’t appear to be. Sounds more like an advertisement than anything. Would be interested if someone has used it to read reviews. And…..what’s the price tag?

   These items are great but is there a video out there to show you how to use them and to know which tools to use where.

   Hi everyone – really enjoy reading all your information. my queries are –
   (1) the price of motor plus all necessary attachments?
   (2) are the electrics geared for Australian standards?
   sorry for the questions but not am not very savvy about electrics.
   thank you

   I was also looking for a video and price on this “teaser” but I found the price by clicking on the item number. It looks a bit pricy but all new things are and I’m sure it will be worth it. I’ll await the video and see how it goes. I also like to get a few reviews of an item like this before I spend so much.
   I think it will be a great time saver all in all.

   How is this different from a dremmel, other than the foot pedal attachment?

   I was just looking into getting a tumbler but does this unit do the same thing? I love the “professional” high polish and matte finish that some artists are able to get and I have no idea how to achieve this-certainly not by hand. I would have to bring this in from USA to Canada and shipping is costly so I need to be sure about the outcome I can achieve.
