    Greetings, I thought that there would be no better source for
    information than to ask the masters out there, and so..... I have been
    thinking about getting a newer...."better" felx shaft and or foot
    pedal. Currently I have the basic......an old Foredom Series-R, a
    #30, a quick release and a hammer handpiece. My foot pedal isn't
    running very smoothly, sticky at excelleration, and so using the
    hammer, or setting stones is a bit tricky. Is this a foot pedal
    problem? or a flex shaft problem? or both? Does one need different
    shaft machines for different jobs? And what about different brands?
    What's your advice and experience? 

    I hope some of you out there who love your machines will enlighten
    me. Thanks for your input.
