Dremel Model 395 Rotator Stripped

Hi. I attached the Flex-Shaft to the 395 and started it up. I immediately heard the device straining to rotate but it wouldn't budge. I then switched it off as quick as I could but unfortunately it looks like the damage was done. The 1st like 4 threads on the rotator (the thing that actually spins, not sure if that is the correct term) are somewhat smooshed together. Because of this once a collet is inserted the collet nut cannot be tightened over it as it cannot grab the threads. This leads to 2 questions:
1. Before taking it apart any opinions on how hard it might be to replace this part? Like is it 1 simple piece or is this going to be major surgery?
2. Any suggestions on where to get parts? I am having all kinds of problems at Dremel's Web site and can only find a parts list for the 400 Series XPR.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks, Charlie

I would send it back to Dremel, they have been AWESOME to do business with, I have sent in 2 of my rotary tools, and because they couldn't be fixed, they sent me new ones at no charge, also, just bought one of their 4" table saws (off ebay) that didn't come w/an owners manula, I emailed Drwemel, and got one in today's mail, pretty kool for an item they quit making years and years ago. Hope this helps

Why does Flexshaft get hot after a couple seconds

Perhaps you are bending the shaft too much, or the original lube in the flex shaft has been compromised. Take it back to the dealer, for an exchange.

Have Dremel MOD 395 motor runs and speed control works bot shaft won't turn--worth fixing ??? and how

Hi Larry, The tool that you require parts for was discontinued many years ago. Limited parts are available from Dremel. Inside the tool is a flex coupling and spline driver. The flex coupling is # 2615294309 and the price is about $ 1.25. This is the hollow plastic sleeve about 1" long with grooves on the inside, that goes between the motor shaft and the output shaft. The spline driver is # 2615294308 for about $ 1.00. Spline driver sits on the direct end of the motor shaft. The flex coupling sits over the spline driver. Spline driver is about 1/4", hard plastic with grooves on the outside. Total shipping for orders under $ 5.00 is $ 2.50. Orders over $5.00 is $ 4.00. There could be a tax charge depending on which state you live in. Here is how to order: Call Dremel Customer Service at 1-800-437-3635 , Monday-Friday from 7 am to 6 pm central time. VISA, MasterCard or Discover to place a Visa, MasterCard or Discover order. To order by mail: Dremel 4915 21st Street Racine, WI 53406 USA 1-800-437-3635 ext. 3636

Flex shaft attachment

Takes an adapter to screw onto the nose of the Dremel. The shaft itself is gripped by the correct size collet tightened as you would any bit.
