Never thought of a flexible drill chuck, you have any links to it. I do prefer the Dremel though, especially with the flexible extension as it's so small and light. The new flap wheels are mounted on 1/4" stems and the stems are made long, really long on some. I cut one down and fitted it into a drill on a stand, got a rough file and just held it against the stem until it was thin enough to go in the Dremel, the drill though does have more HP and could work for when you need that extra ummph.
The good news is that the flap wheels are that dear, £2.65 each, just noticed they do a 40, 60, 80, 120, 180, 240 and 320 and they all use the same threaded stem. I'm going to try a 40, 60 and 120 to see how they perform, the rough ones could come in handy when the parts really bad.

I dont sadly, it was my old fella's and hes been gone 20 years. I'll have a look later and see what I can find thats similar.
Oddjob:
Found a couple Roo. Might get one and see if it's better than the Dremel, some of them I wouldn't want anywhere near alloy as if the chuck catches it's really gonna dig in. I've found one that looks like the Dremel extension but the chuck only goes to 3mm, might give that a go. Shame as the new stems are 4mm.
Laverdaroo:
He was a mad wood turner and all things craft like so it would have come from some woodworking place I would have thought. The irony is that I cant find mine at the min in the abyss that is my workshop, garden shed/fishing tackle store! looking forward to having a bit more space,I must admit.

Spent another hour on the hub in two half hour stints so after 1 hr 30 minutes since I started this is how it looks.
Starting to loose the will to carry on - in some light it looks worse.
