    I don't believe anyone has mentioned this possibility. I use the
    Foredom handpiece with the collets, my most frequently used
    handpiece. Since it's a collet you can slide the shaft of your split
    mandrel as far into the collet as you'd like ( no shorting needed )
    the same with burs etc. 

    This eliminates bending. 

    Caveat: most everything we use is dangerous if used inappropriately;
    so, make sure brain is engaged before using tools.
