    Dear Steve, In my experience there are very few Flexshaft systems
    that have different shaped shafts. And it is the shaft that dictates
    the type of hand piece that can be used. For instance, the Foredom H
    series has a square shaft and will only work with hand pieces the
    have the "H" designation in their description. All others, that I
    have seen, have a round shaft with a "fin" at the receiving end of
    the shaft. This fin fits into the hand piece and is what drives it
    (the hand piece). Please keep in mind there are a lot of products
    similar to Foredom so I could be off but I doubt it. 

    Now, all this being written, it's harder to match the off brand inner
    shaft to the motor than to a hand piece, so when you purchase an off
    brand flexshaft do your homework on replacement parts. 

I hope this helps.
