A question about rotary carvers

If I could only afford to buy one I would buy the flex shaft type i.e. Foredom or Mastercarver. Depending on the hand piece(s) you use you can use bits from 1/4” down. The air turbines limit you to really small bit shafts. Personally I have a Master carver with about 6 different hand pieces and an air turbine that I run off of an old small airbrush compressor.

I am a decoy carver and have a Foredom. It has operated flawlessly for 6 years of hard use. It has the ability to hog some serious wood as well as using it with small detail bits. Most of the decoy crowd that I hang with have Foredoms.
