Rotacraft RC230

[AndyBParticipant @andyb47186]

Hi,

Does anyone have a Rotacraft RC230 rotary tool please?

I have just got one very cheap, sold as seen, and it works very well except I can't see how to fit the flexi-drive to it. The inner cable at the drive end is square while the collet recess is round. Should I have a different end to screw on for the square inner to fit into? Also, the flexi-drive does not want to screw on to the body of the tool.

All photos that I can find look exactly like what I have got.

Many thanks.

Andy

If its anything like a Dremel then the collet nut and collet are replaced by a collet nut with a square hole in it and the normal nut & collet then fit onto the working end of the flexi shaft.

There is a plastic "nut" on the end of the tool which comes off and the outer part of the flexi shaft screws on

EDIT this should help http://www.how2usehsrt.com/attachments.html

Thanks Jason,

I can always rely on you to come to my aid.

Missed you yesterday, though I did look out…well, I tried to but my eyes were trying to take so much in. Haha
