    Making the Most of Your Flex-shaft
    Reviewed by Alan Revere
 
    A welcome addition to the literature now coming out for bench
    jewelers, Making the Most of Your Flex-shaft by Karen Christians is
    an informative compilation of material for anyone who takes tools
    seriously. Everyone with a flex-shaft understands what a valuable
    tool this is. Here is a chance to learn more about it in order to
    maximize its effectiveness, efficiency and longevity, whether you are
    a beginner or advanced flex-shaft user.
 
    The author presents a history of the tool, beginning nearly 200
    years ago, along with essential information on the use and
    maintenance of a flex-shaft. The book covers all the standard uses
    and goes into depth on accessories and optional attachments including
    hand pieces, milling tables, sanding belts, setting tools, lathes and
    more, all driven by a flex-shaft. The book catalogs a vast range of
    burs, bits, buffs, brushes, burnishers, mandrels, discs, cutters,
    wheels, polishers and ceramic points, that fit into a flex-shaft.
 
    In the final chapter, "Beyond the Basics," you can learn how to use
    a flex-shaft to tube-set stones and a few other neat things outside
    the box a flex-shaft comes with. As the most complete book on the
    subject, Making the Most of Your Flex-shaft belongs right next to
    yours, on your bench.
