I broke the flexible drive inside a light hand held 'dremel'
a few days ago.
The cable is the standard sort of flexible cable I once knew as a 'bendex' cable. The sort of thing that drove speedos and such.
I dimly remember that the guys in the toolroom could somehow swage a 'square end' onto broken cables at times to get our production out of trouble while a new cable was being ordered.
I have messed around with my arc welder and very thin rods (Unsucessfully), and trying to form a 'solid' end by soaking in soft solder prior to some hammering and filing (unsucessfully).
Is there any 'dark side' secret I can use to get a bit more use out of this cable, or is it into the bin and try and source a new one?
Thanks as always
