Frequently Asked Questions

1. What’s the difference between a flex shaft and a micromotor?

2. Are micromotors suitable for gemstone setting?

Yes, micromotors are commonly used for precision tasks like stone seat cutting and fine engraving around gemstones, silverchain, and gold chain work.

3. Can these tools be used with existing handpieces and burrs?

Most flex shafts and micromotors are compatible with standard burr sizes and popular jewellery tools. Be sure to match collet size and rotation speed to your accessories for best results and if unsure confirm with your local branch before purchase.
