    I found this posting on the American Science Surplus website
    (www.sciplus.com): 

    The Better Rotary Tool 

        For bigger, or longer, projects, and hands-free operation. This
        1/4-hp flex-shaft grinder has a 43" long flexible shaft, a keyed
        chuck that accepts bits up to 5/32", a variable-speed control
        foot-pedal power switch, and a comfortable 1" dia hand grip. The
        motor runs 500 to 22,000 rpm, operates on 120VAC, measures 3-1/4"
        dia x 4" long, and has a sturdy hook to hang it from an
        over-the-bench shelf. Comes in a blow-molded storage case and
        includes approx (40) 1/8" shank tool bits (burrs, cutters, and
        polishers). Includes replacement brushes. Intermittent duty.
        Price: $59.50 

    I already blew about $200 on a Foredom for myself, but this seems
    like an alternative for anyone else on the list who might not
    currently have the wherewithal to do the same. For people who already
    have flexshafts, the store also had a bunch of drill bits and
    polishing thingies available. Do many people use the tools/materials
    from this site? What are your experiences with them? 

    I have no connection or financial interest in this store (usual
    disclaimer?) except that I got to visit the Geneva retail outlet the
    other week, and it was AMAZING- stuffed to the gills with all sorts
    of fun...well...stuff!
