I invite TCP members to pool your combined SEARCH results here for references to the topic of hand held motor tools.

The forum is often queried for information about these tools, and we often come up new as well as repeated answers. I have pinned this topic at the head of Tools & Technical for easy access, to become a useful resource.

Here are a few links that I have found with some quick investigation. Can you find any others? Good hunting, and please do post your links to other references to hand held micro grinder, motor driven, or what ever you might think to call them. Thanks for pitching in to create this helpful topic.

This is my solution to the dremel flex-shaft that caused similar fatigue. That thread shows and discusses some others.

Micro Motor Tools thread. Some discussion here.

Rotary Tools thread.

Tools for the "rough" work thread.

Airt turbine vs micromotor, Help me to choose my Chrismast gift !

Try these keywords for the SEARCH function: micro motor, micromotor, micro grinder, foredom, flex shaft, rotary tools and any others that might come to mind.

Hi

Do you have any suggestions on where to get the hand pieces serviced in Canada. I got a drop of water into the first bearing in my RAM handpiece. Now th ebearing is very stiff and will blow the reset every time.

I had the handpiece serviced in Ottawa previously the gentleman did a great job.

Thanks

Russ

I received a question today from a wood turner who is now including carving in some of the work he is doing. His question:

I have a simple question. Do you know any place I can get the micro bearings for a Micro Motor Hand piece? These are great little tools it would be a shame to throw it away for lack of a bearing or two. Donald Derry www.donaldderry.com

Does anyone have an answer or suggestion for Don?

Thank you for your input,

Janel

Try dental tool repair places. The air turbines and grinders used by Dentists require frequent service and repair. Believe there are many to be found on the internet
