Question Mount Flexible Shaft Question
Hi
I was wondering if it is possible to mount a flexible shaft to my Makita GD0800C (i know... its a large powerful carver) I have searched endlessly to find a flexible shaft for this machine. I don't even know if it is possible. (coupling, casing, and compatibility problems) If anyone can help or enlighten me on the subject, i would be grateful.

for those who don't know the machine:

110v
6.6amp motor
7K-28K RPM (noload)
1/4" collet

would be using it for hardwood and greenwood carving. using 1/4" shaft carbide bits.

Thanks

Matt
