"Hello, on Behalf of Expert Village, my name is Joe. I own "The Vug" local jewelry store in Salt Lake City. Today, I'm going to be talking about my flux shaft, which is a very important, one of the most important tools as professional jeweler. This brand is a Fordem, there's also Drimmel makes one. The flexible shaft, the motor, the flexible shaft, and the hand piece. This one is on a foot pedal, so I can easily control the speed or when to start and stop it. Basically, I got tons of jeweler's bits. I use diamond tools, setting tools, ball burners, all kinds of different things. Very important tool for shaping, grinding, filing. In fact, I use this in place of hand files, quit a bit. Great tool for all around use and you can also use it for stone carving or drilling. Just a great, all around tool for anybody to have starting. These do come without the flux shafts. It's just a little bit more easy to use it with the shaft and definitely the foot pedal."
