Customer Reviews for VEVOR S-R Hanging Flex Shaft Grinder 230W Rotary Tool with Stepless Speed Foot Pedal Rotary Carver 0-180000rmp for Carving, Buffing,Drilling,Polishing (4mm flexshaft)

This grinder is awesome! It came carefully wrapped in bubble wrap in cardboard box. The package included the grinder itself, flexible shaft, wrench, instructions and two small plastic bags of various bits for grinding, polishing, cutting etc. I lubricated the inner cord of flexible shaft as was described in the instruction sheet and attached it to the motor using a small Allen wrench that was also included. The grinder works very well, with low level of noise, the pedal smoothly regulates the speed. I need to mention that it can usegrinding bits up to 5 mm in diameter. Just be aware.

Great to have around for the price. If you are using it to carve you might want a little more power.

The foot pedal is kinda flimsy and hard to control speed evenly. Other than that, works great for detail sanding and shaping

Very good rotary tool with plenty of power. So much so that I would recommend using the 1/4 " bits instead of the 1/8" that it comes with. At least if you will be using it to carve into wood or drill into metal.What I don't like is the short power cord on the foot pedal. It does not reach up to the power outlet on my workbench, I have to put the pedal on a 5 gallon bucket to get it up high enough to plug in a reach the motor cord. I figured out that if I don't need variable speed then just plug the motor directly into the power outlet and use the on/off switch. This runs the motor at full speed which works for most jobs anyway. Also I discovered that the first thing needing done is to remove the rotary shaft from inside the metal sleeve and spray on a light coat of grease. Otherwise it would squeal when applied it to the work. This is an easy task though. I can recommend this tool.

Being a jewelry shop technician I’ve worked with foredom flex shafts for years and this $70 pendant motor seems to be the exact same thing for 1/4 the price. 6mm handpiece is great and can use 1/4” rotary grinder tools, it’s doesn’t have quite enough torque to run them smoothly, but in a pinch it’s helpful. We’ll worth the price

Work's great but the power cords and flex shaft tube should be longer.the cord isn't long enough to reach the floor for the pedal, so I need to use an extension cord between the motor to the pedal. If not for that I would've given 5stars. As for the problems people are reporting just grease the ends of the flex cable and tap the pedal a few times and it will start slow with out jumping and is very controllable at low rpms

This unit, with a separate powerful motor and comfortable remote hand grip just makes more sense to me than the totally handheld design. Plenty of power just where you need it. I did grease the internal cable as others suggested (simple), and the cords are kind of just barely long enough to the foot pedal - about 6ft (as far as hanging the motor.) Many others said the foot pedal is all or nothing - not what I found at all, has perfectly adjustable sensitivity for speed (I wear sandals in the jungle, not heavy work boots lol.) Well made from a new (?) line, Vevor. Ordered a hoist from them, too and that also works great. Very pleased with these choices!

Very happy with this. Smooth control from the foot pedal and good low end torque. I did disassemble the shaft and grease it before use.

It is easy to use and I like the variable speed control with the foot pedal. Much more powerful than my small hand held unit I have been using.
