Fordham Jewelers Rotary Flex Review
All I can say is "Wow". I don't know why I waited so long to try one. It's QUIET, FAST, EASY.
In the last 11 years I have gone through at least a dozen cheap and not so cheap Dremels.
I bought an IV stand from amazon and I have the Fordham hanging about shoulder high. I just cleaned a bunch of beads I was dreading in no time flat.
Hubby is impressed with the quality of the tool and is already figuring out ways to use it.
I can just roll the stand into the studio corner when not in use at the kitchen sink.

I bartered for a antique foredom, from the early 60's. hubby gave it a tune up just yesterday, still going strong. That is a pretty good testimonial to the workmanship.. Enjoy it!

Now you just need a few lab coats for the IV stand, and maybe a Jacobs later to compleat the mad scientist lab/studio.

Jacob's Ladder is the device you seen in labs in the movies that's made of two wires set in a 'V' that has a spark/electrical arc moving from the base up towards the top.
Fordom is a great tool. You can even get drill press rigs for it.

I always thought a Jacob's Ladder was that wood thing attached with ribbons.
And I think you need to bling up the IV pole myself *grin* Some fancy duct tape and a few sequins...

Actually in the Navy a Jacobs ladder is a rope sided ladder with wooden steps. It's used to climb down into tanks that have broken or no ladders. As you can imagine, even when it is held tight by someone at the bottom, it is a devil of a struggle to climb. It takes a lot of upper body strength, that I don't have. I hated the things.
