    Nope, certainly not an overload situation. It was doing it while
    under no load at all, as well as while under load. But if you read
    the message I just sent, Rio contacted me to replace the shaft.
    Customer service lady thought it might have a small kink in the
    shaft. 

    As an explanation of what I'm using it for, I carve wood and
    reconstituted stone. Nothing as hard as natural stone, and I'm using
    tiny little burs. I am however carving for hours at a time, which is
    why I went for the TXH, rather than the lighter duty options. I've
    used a little Dremel Multi-speed long enough to have an ear always
    open for the motor, to back off at the first sign of stress. (My
    Dremel has survived for almost 4 years...It's a brave little
    trooper. Not shot now, either, just wanted to upgrade.) 

    I would advise you to be careful- It sounds like you need to start
    letting the tool do the work rather than forcing it. It's not faster
    in the long run, as you'll lose money and time in repairing the
    tool. And you're lucky it didn't take your hand off or smack you in
    the face.
