167 forum posts 7 photos	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

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 J Edited By JasonB on 04/11/2012 21:44:14 Edited By JasonB on 04/11/2012 21:45:56
