Confused by the dizzying array of rotary burs, tips and bits on the market? This information-packed workshop is for you! Through a series of fast-paced demos and accompanying reference material, students learn everything they need to know about purchasing, maintaining and using this multi-purpose workhorse of the metals studio, the flexible shaft machine (aka “flex shaft”). Students learn to navigate the many options available – from choosing the right motor & hand piece (and how to maintain them) to choosing the right bit for the job at hand.

Come prepared to take lots of notes and bring problem pieces for personalized consultation. Students may also bring their own flex shaft if they have questions about
their setup, use or repair.
