    I might be on the wrong track completely but it sounds as though you
    just have a very torquey motor. My new Foredom is also very torquey
    and when my hubby set it up for me he warned me of this but he is
    more heavy handed than I am and as such I've not found it a problem
    after he warned me. Maybe you'll just get used to it and be able to
    control it smoothly very quickly. 

    As for the "gritty"ness of your flexshaft, maybe the shaft needs
    lubricating. The instructions on mine say to lubricate the shaft
    after every 50 hours of use and when hubby did that for me the other
    day it was as smooth as it was when new, afterwards. Forgive me if
    I'm teaching "my Grandmother to suck eggs"! (hope people in the US
    understand that term too!).
