Default Reciprocating Carvers

Thought I would try and ask the question here, since I cannot find the answer anywhere else.

I know there are reciprocating carvers that fit on a dremel. I'm looking at the Wecheer - but, for the life of me, I cannot find the dremel models it will fit.

I have a Dremel 395 Type 5 and would like to use it. Does anyone know if the Wecheer will work or if there is another brand that will also.

Thanks in advance.

Kat

The dremel Flex Shaft 732 will take the item you are talking about. The 732 in out of production now,I think they stopped making them the end of last year. I bought one several years ago, used and in great shape. This is a big puppy, you have to hang it up like a foredom.

I have the Weecher. I would be pretty surprised to find any Dremel it won't fit, Dremel has a lot of different motors and colletes, but they seem to have a standard collar thread and internal drive fitting, which are what the Weecher fits. I think that is why there is not a listing. I really like my Weecher, BTW.

Just a quick, big to those who responded. The Wecheer will fit my dremel and I'll be ordering one before the week is out.

Thanks Again
