Hi all,
I haven’t posted to Orchid before, although I have consulted the
archives frequently.
I have a question I can’t find an answer to. I have a brand new flex
shaft that I plugged in and tried tonight. When I first put my foot
on the pedal (slowly) I heard a click and then a noise as if
something was vibrating. It doesn’t sound at all like my very old
flex shaft. When I look at the ventilation holes in the bottom of the
motor housing I see a smooth metal rod that appears to be blocking
the motor from turning. I am wondering if this could be a simple
thing to fix, or should I just send it back? I hesitate to open the
motor housing. It is a Foredom TX, from Rio Grande. I did plan to use
it in a workshop I’m teaching this weekend, but my old one is still
functioning fine.
