as some of you know I am atempting to "CARVE" a 1/8 scale tecumseh engine from a block of aluminum using nothing more than a hand held rotary tool this non functional engine will be 1 1/2 inches tall and the spaces between the cooling fins will be about 1/32 of a inch
.
so as I searched the internet for a good quality tool I kept reading about the "Fordom flex shaft tool" and how great they were... so I went to ebay and found what could best be discribed as a Fordom clone so I bought it
.
once it came to the house I pluged it in and it ran fine BUT after 1 min of run time the motor and hand piece were to hot to touch so I took it apart and adjusted the bearings lubed everything up and tryed it again this time it ran for 2 min.s befor being to hot to touch WHAT A HUNK OF @#$%^ JUNK
.
SO I got off my wallet and bought a REAL FOREDOM and it works like a dream
.
moral of the story: buying clones is a gamble
