Default WeCheer

My brother-in-law is looking at the WeCheer This WE330 kit comes with a 1/4hp motor with
speeds up to 20,000rpm, super flexible shaft,
Rotary Handpiece with 3/32, 1/8, 1/4 collets,
variable speed foot pedal, and a wall mounting bracket.
One year guarantee.

Anyone have any experience with the brand.
Mine is Foredom

Hi Nancy
Yes I have a Wecheer , I had it for a few years, I find it very good it has a lot of power,I use mostly hard wood too,I like to see chips flying:-) like everything else it has it;s place .I have Arthritis in my hands and use only powertools.
I also have a set of flexcut chisels. The company has a good support system too it helps if you have problems, I hope this helps??

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 =)

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.
