    One detail to consider when buying a flex shaft that should not be
    overlooked is ease of repair. I gave up buying the R series foredom
    after burning through a few and not being able to repair them. The S
    series is very easy to tear down and rebuild and all the replacement
    parts are available through your local tool suppliers. For about
    $65.00 the S series can be rebuilt like new. A bit of a saving over
    buying new. On the other hand if money is not a concern the fastest
    most precision hand pieces I have used are the micro motor systems.
    With 35,000 RPM and no heavy shaft they work like a dream. Of coarse
    you will still want a regular flex shaft as a back up to hold the
    trusty old work horse of the industry your #30 hand piece.
