    Looking forward to the flex shaft book. 

    I use two flex shafts at my bench.  One with a quick change
    handpiece (yes--I agree, a must) and the other with a #30 chuck--for
    larger mandrels and drill bits,etc.  This is a huge time and energy
    saver.  And it's easy to switch back and forth if necessary--between
    the two tools that are in the handpieces. 

    For polishing tiny areas with the flex shaft (usually flat areas
    that are set in from the surface of a piece), I use a nail with a
    small head and use strong double-stick tape to hold a tiny piece of
    abrasive paper in place.  This works really well, uses up very
    little of the paper and is always at hand. 

Carolyn
