Here is a sanding and polishing tip from @mudandhide - โ€œI just saved my butt a bunch of time by mounting my flex shaft in my movable vice clamp. Works great for sanding and polishing, especially if your flex shaft control isnโ€™t the greatest ๐Ÿ˜‰. And you continue to have full control of the speed with the foot pedal.โ€ Yesssss love turning my flex shaft into a mini lathe! Thanks for shooting a great video showing off your technique Alicia! We appreciate it! #sandingtip #snapondiscs #polishingjewelry #flexshaft
