| | Re: WeCheer Nancy ,
I have a foredom as well, I was thrilled when I found ount the flexcut bits fit right in.
But I am not very experenced with it. Using a profiller for many years I have a hard time remembering I have to apply pressure to git it to function , .. whihc still makes no sense to me.
If part of the reason to use power is to get away from pressure why do you want something that takes pressure to make it function...
Its the concept not the function that drives me crazy =)  |

| | Re: WeCheer Thank you Alice for the information, I will pass it on.
Ash, funny, when I first tried my recipricating handpiece I was very disappointed that it didn't work! I kept taking it off the shaft to reposition it or whatever, trying to get it to work. Finally I told Bruce I would have to send it back because it didn't work. He tried it and it worked. I tried it again and it didn't work. Finally after several trys between us, he tells me there had to be pressure against it to work. Duh. Anyway, I love it.
