Had to do the same thing as soon as I logged in. It has been going on for a few days now.

which Vevor did you get? I am looking at the SR knock off with reverse by them.

I knew it looked almost identical. The Vevor units that cloned the SR are around $40 less, im gonna give one of those a try, as the HF close to me doesnt have the flex shaft in stock. Thank you huskihl.

I will definitely be ordering one from you in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for the reply!

Huskihl, thank you for the reply! I’m gonna go check out harbor freight in the morning. You are referring to the green flex shaft unit that looks like the grizzly one correct? I noticed they started offering a couple of different flex shaft options.

I was wondering if they would work. Thank you for letting me know about this!

Thank you for the advice ketchup! I’ve seen the cheaper “knock off” foredom models and thought about giving them a try, such as the grobet, the red label SR, and I think vevor was another. Im gonna go to my local HF and see if they still sell the unit Huskihl is referring to, I’ll check out that...

Huskihl, will the HF unit accept foredom hand pieces? Or are you using the one that came with the unit?

That’s actually the kit I was looking at. It seemed to have to the motor and hand pieces that I have seen folks speaking highly of. I tried finding some used stuff on eBay but then realized the price of a used foredom and then piecing everything else together would come out nearly the same as...

🤣 I’ll add “test the waters” to phrases not to be used.

Happy new year! So I’ve been messing around (I use that term very loosely) with chainsaws for most of my life. Recently I’ve had a heightened interest in diving further into them and seeing if I could improve the performance of some of my older saws. Mainly just getting them back to running...

Happy new year everyone! I’m looking to test the waters and see if anyone may have a non running, but buildable 372xp. I would like a whole power head, but at the same time if the majority is there I would consider that also. This doesn’t have to win any beauty contest I’m just now getting into...

I appreciate the advice Rich! I found grizzly has a 10x22 bench top model that has gotten good reviews and currently I don’t have the real estate for a big floor model, so I’ll probably end up going that route.

I’m filling up a notebook on the info y’all are providing and that I’ve searched for in the threads! Haha. I appreciate all of y’all’s help!

I appreciate the advice and will definitely keep and eye out for good tooling. What do you like to use for cutting the squish band down? I had taken a intro to machining class back in high school while taking welding, but aside from basic lathe and mill operations we didn’t get into much tooling...
