Hi Holly,

    I'm sorry to hear of your problem. Have you checked the inner shaft?
    Is it attached properly to the motor shaft? Is it kinked? Is it
    properly lubricated not to much not to little? Is it adjusted so that
    only 3/4" is exposed from the sheath? You can see how to do this on
    the Foredom website on streaming video in the "Foredom Basics". If
    you can't fix it yourself you can send your unit back to Foredom for
    a free estimate. If it has been only used a little while as you say
    and is new out of the box it may still be under warranty even though
    it is an older discontinued model. Your #52 handpiece sounds like it
    needs a good cleaning. They get grit caught between the front and
    rear housing. You can take it apart and clean it yourself using the
    instructions that came with your handpiece or send it back to Foredom
    for cleaning. If you do send anything back send it to my attention
    with your day time phone number and description of the problem.
