What's Inside a Dremel Flex Shaft! Disassemble and Assemble

Today I show you how to take apart and disassemble the Dremel flexible shaft 225 to take a look at the parts that are inside this little handy tool. I also show you how to carefully assemble the tool after you have done what you needed to do with the flex shaft.
We also discuss the inner parts like the spindle, shaft lock, and shaft lock button, and the cable that is the core of the flex shaft itself.
There are many reasons for wanting to take apart the flex shaft. The most common reason is a stripped spindle lock button or a stripped spindle. It might also have to be done for some normal maintenance, or maybe you are just curious as to how the inner parts of the Dremel flex shaft work.
The Dremel flexible shaft is compatible with most Dremel models, which includes but are not limited to the Dremel 3000, Dremel 4000, Dremel 4300, Dremel 8220, Dremel 8260, Dremel 200, Dremel 100, Dremel lite, and more.

Thank you for this video. I never knew that the nose cap was removable. Are you able to screw other accessories on there such as the Rotary Shield or Cutting Guide?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

Hi. You are not able to screw on other attachments with the flex shaft. The threads are to small.

[@liorlevy66]

What is your opinion about re-greasing the shaft/wire?

[@rotarycrafts8760]

I've never done it mine. But I think it would be good to do it to reduce heat build up and it will make the motor have to work less.

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Can you change the bearings .

[@Inverts4Introverts]

I'm not thinking so. I can't find them anywhere and they are fully attached to the spindle core. mine got clogged with dust and now heats up due to friction.

Now don't push the shiny button while it's spinning again 😂
