Thought I'd let you know. I've had the Vevor SR for about 5 years. Never had a problem. I service mine (lube, etc) as the manual says. I use Foredom flex shaft grease on the shaft. It was originally purchased for doing silver work but I have used it for everything including carbide burrs on steel. The silver handpiece (#30) is smaller than the 1/4 inch gold. Any foredom style handpiece made for the USA (flag or key they are called) can be used. I have quick release, hammer, engraving, etc. Do not buy Euro style, different connection. Look for the band with the ball bearing. If there is a clip it is Euro. The chuck style handpiece will come apart(unscrew). Check it before each use. It will screw back together. I put mild threadlock on mine. Hope this helps. If not, I just bored a lot of people. Love your YT vids. Keep it up!

Thanks for this video!!! Helped me set mine up

Thank you. I was concerned about the price to quality, but you have destroyed that fear. I am looking forward to ordering one of these; which I will use your link to do so.

I like the story about you and your dad porting engines on the kitchen table 👍

Thank you for the wonderfully detailed review of the Vevor Flex Shaft Grinder. I've been wanting more information on this tool and you certainly supplied it! Finally, I know what type of connection the shaft has to the tools!!! If the hammer handpiece I'm looking at is compatible I'll be buying it through your link.

I love my new Vevor. I use all the Foredom handpieces.

Good review!

Thank you, Looks a lot like a direct copy of the Foredom SR, even down to the name... I haven't bought 1 yet, I have a Foredom from a kit coming from mom...lol (88 and still taking care of me!) I had a very similar if not exactly the same foot switch for a scroll saw. If you mount it to a piece of wood, or better a 1/4" chunk of steel. It will feel a lot better. Add a piece of grip foam for stabilizing wood you are routing or better, the thinner shelf foam for cabinets or toolboxes and it won't move around.

My Canadian Tire-branded rotary tool started doing the "speeding up" thing last year. Nice to know that the genuine Dremel tools do the same thing. There must be a common defect in the circuit design.

Fantastic video dude! Sooooo.. as for the pedal, I dropped a clutch drum on mine and it exploded. I then spent about a week learning more about 3d modeling, designed and printed a new one, installed all the springs and switch, and it didn't work. Found out that the switch must have also broke in the smashing. So went online to buy a new switch and they simply don't exist. It's part of a drill button switch, but not the same. Anyway, I just had to re order a new pedal off Amazon. I might still install the switch in the pedal that I designed as I did improve the leverage on the button to give me more detailed control. If it works well, I'll print you one too! I'm so happy with mine! Oooh one other thing, my 90° thingy, only fits my long bits. I need to figure out how to get the short bits in there for the transfers on my scooter cylinders. But the collet is super hard.. Off to your other channel to see your porting on the X2!

It looks like you could mount the foot switch to a 2x6 block of wood which should give it some heft. And the surface your foot contacts also looks kind of slippery. Maybe there is something you could spray on it to make it rubberized to prevent this? As for the smaller handheld Dremel. . . I went through several of them (corded and cordless) and found them to be crap. What I eventually settled on was the Milwaukee M12 cordless rotary tool -- The on/off switch and speed dial are separate and not combined. It has great heft, variable speeds, balance and ergonomics. Yeah. It's a beast and I used mine all the time.

Good video. Did the right angle drill work for you? Do you know if it has metal or plastic gears?

What's the wording to look for to find the burrs for cutting softer materials?

Do you know where I can buy the a inter flex shaft cable for a 780w vevor flex shaft rotary tool. Have the 780w on the way and want to know just in case I break one. Can not get an answer from Vevor. Thank You Richard PS Good vido thanks for info.

i took the cable out of the dremel flexi shaft and coverd it in hight temp white lithium grease now it doesnt get so hot. so far its lasted 15 years. mind you im not porting metal cylinder heads Im building radio control model boats.

I just got the 780w version using your link,and am wishing I didn't just buy a new Dremmel two weeks ago. On a side note,Lysol Toilet Bowl Cleaner Gel is very good at removing rust in the Vevor ultrasonic cleaner,and is very inexpensive.

Is the footswitch a true variable switch (press from low to high revs)? Don't want on & out switch rev.

What is the part number, or name for the right-angle attachment? I bought this tool based off your review and I am quite pleased with it but I do not like the supplied handle. I was doing some hoggin out of some aluminum and the whole chuck just fell out. I thought it broke but upon closer inspection I noticed that it is a compression type connection, so I removed the bit and took my 1lb dead blow hammer to it and it seems to hold fast. I need a right-angle attachment for doing fret polishing and other Lutherie jobs. Please respond, thank you.

Thanks great vid and stories, re Dremel I'm in Australia and have had 2, the last one only about 3yo and very little work. My view is they trade on an undeserved reputation of trusty tool or is it just the marketing? Very much for the amateur/light work hobbyist. I'm looking to buy a flex drive myself and just found the same brand as yours for $80A not sure of its features, but I'll check it out.

The EU-Model shows the silver handpiece too. Only the 750W-Version shows the golden one. But i'm wondering, if the 750W isn't too bulky and the shaft too stiff to be versatile. One don't need a whole horsepower for delicate detailing, even if it's steely stuff. And if, how stiff will the shaft have to be not to snap when it comes to deliver that horse? Silver and golden handpiece connector area both show the same ball and spring design. Therefore to me both seem to function likewise. I'm so tempted to buy one, but i just ordered other useful tools and have to stop there. Do you get more perfomance out of these jet ski engines with porting work?

Hey man I been following your channel on the used motor oil stuff, also I left the comment about you running out of your buddies life last week....you should check out "Merlins old school garage" and "Fab Rats" channels, they are taking a bunch of old 80s and 90s jet skies and are going to try to ride them 300 miles from Kansas city to St Louis on the Missouri River what could go wrong right.....just wanted to share this with you knowing your into the watercraft stuff. Keep up the good work and don't let your fingers poke thru the paper lol

The cables break on flex shaft tools if you’re using carbide bits and the suddenly get stopped, flex shaft tools are excellent for cartridge roll sanding, this has been my experience.

hey man how do u know what handpiece fits the rotary tool from vevor?

I just bought one and the first time trying it the chuck flew off(came out of the orange handle) and could've hurt somebody. Is it suppose to come off and is there a way I'm suppose to tighten it, or is it defective?

I have exactly the same unit bought before you were affiliated with Vevor or ever talked about it. So far I have broken 2 flex shafts with it but cheap replacements can be found on ebay for as little as $10 if you don't mind waiting for it to come from china... I hate the foot pedal also and replaced it with an ordinary router variable speed control since I normally just set it to a particular speed and use it without having to control my foot to maintain a speed. For me, I find this works out much better. I noticed you said you made your own mandrel for the cone sanders, are they even available to purchase with the extended length shaft like yours? Totally invaluable for smoothing out porting work and I've yet to get any. So far the only thing I used mine for (mostly) was to drastically clean up my pump stator which resulted in a substantially noticeable improvement. You can fill far less vibration. Coming from the pump area as there is far less cavitation.

I lost my chuck key. How can I find a new one? Because I don't know how many inches :(

Foredom do sell a metal foot speed control. It would put the kit , beyond the price for many users. My plastic foot peddle works great.😅

Can’t find 90 degree handle on Amazon

I'm leaving this comment to increase engagement on your latest video, but also to request a diesel heater with nichrome wire in the burn chamber video for diesel alternatives.. or running at lower hz than typically possible stable (what I'm interested in lol). You need an adjustable controller though :)

Do you recommend lubricating the flex shaft?

I just got foredom sr damn chuck fell out 10 seconds to the first touch to wood

I have the same 90 & it’s not bad for the price.

I use a old sewing machine on my Dremel for variable speed.

Very cool vevor ... Wink wink 😉

Are the vevor and foredom handpieces interchangeable, and can they be connected to a dremel ?

Wondering if can shoot me a price

I want it

Looks like the dentist's tool!😂

I dont understand why their 230W version is actually bit more expensive than their 780W flexshaft version that looks even more beefier than this one...

230 W is 1.5 times more expensive than 780 W version, wth - is that a commercial fee? :)

It’s now $52. I’ve got a Fordom. It cost about $365. I bought one of these simply because it was so cheap and looked just like my Fordom. Frankly, this is better. The Fordom is 18,000 rpm. This is 25,000. But as it’s 50Hz, it’s actually about 28,000 max. This is also about three times as powerful at a stated 780 watts. There is no switch on mine, so no reverse. It just comes with the floor pedal switch. So far, little vibration from the 1/4” chuck handle. Yeah, the higher the speed the better. I use a lot of diamond tools and with diamond (and carbide!) the higher the speed the better. I use small air grinders at 80,000 and even that isn’t always enough, so I have a dentist air turbine at 300,000 rpm. That’s the only tool that allows you to work without having to press down on the work. So yes, the higher the speed the better. Overall, this is crazy. A friend bought one after I did, and he’s very happy with it. I may buy another so that I can have these things in all three shops. I do have the small shafted Dremel, and have had that for over 10 years with no problems. By the way, the case is cast zinc alloy, likely some sort of Zamak alloy. Zinc is used for this as it’s stiffer than aluminum and melts at a lower temp. About the foot switch. The standard one that comes with the Fordom is about as cheap and chintzy as the one from the Vevor. I haven’t taken any of them apart, so maybe the speed control on the Fordom is better, but maybe not. You can buy a cast iron one from Fordom for a lot more money, if it seems worthwhile.

that cast aluminium isn't solid though, drop it on a concrete floor from 1.5m and it's prolly gonna crack.
