Guys, I have 5 of these RA's I had shipping in for Chitown and modified. If you haven't seen these before they only come with a 3mm collet which no one wants. Also the back cap is slightly too small ID to fit on a true Foredom sheath, they'll fit the knock off ones stock. I remedied these issues, and add some nice grippy heat shrink. So they now fit standard 1/8" shank carbide burrs, and fit a true Foredom fine.
I've taken these all the way apart and looked at them before, the bearing are nice and the gears are pretty large. I've also tested one for 2-3 saws, worked fine, no issues. Looking for $100 shipped to the US.
Here is the fixture I made to accurately punch out the collet to 1/8" from 3mm.
