Default Wecheer

I'd like to know a little more about the Wecheer flex shaft machine. I've been thinking about getting one to do rough out work and details. Any input would be welcome.

Dylan I dont personally have one but I probably have every other reciprocating carver. I did try one it wasnt bad except I found it had a little too much vibration for me. It is a very inexpensive reciprocator and probably would be fine for small carvings.

Dylan I have had the Wecheer for 2 years with the reciprocating flex shaft and it sure has its place like everything else in the shop. It takes wood off like nothing else.
I was looking at the Arbourtech chisel too but it was to heavy on my hands ,but it is the best.
I use a lot of hardwood and it seems to get hot around the handpiece when used for a time of 10-20 min.I also have the set of Flexshaft chisels and when I use the big ones it gets hot more quickly. but I work it hard :-) overall I like it very much "no dust" I hope this helps
