Axminster Heavy Duty Flexible Drive Unit

A heavy duty flexible drive shaft unit for the serious carver, modeller or pattern maker, powered by a 300W input - 150W output, continuously rated motor. The speed is variable over a range of 0-20,000rpm and is controlled by means of a convenient foot pedal. The 970mm long flexible shaft screws firmly onto the base of the motor and carries a plug-in bayonet on the other end for connection to any one of four optional handpieces detailed below. Between them, these handpieces enable the drive unit to be used for the complete range of drilling, grinding, sanding, engraving and polishing operations; fitting the reciprocating carving head (910343) also opens up the field of powered wood carving. A wall-mounted hanger is included. (Handpiece not supplied).
