Description

The Alternative M18 Flexible Shaft Cable Set includes a shaft, a sleeve, and an alternative M18 adapter crimped onto the shaft. It can be used as an alternative shaft for your M18 High Speed Flexible Shaft Machine.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ORIGINAL SHAFT FOR THE MILWAUKEE M18 HIGH SPEED FLEXIBLE SHAFT MACHINE. WE DO NOT PROVIDE REPLACEMENT CABLES FOR THE MILWAUKEE M18 HIGH SPEED FLEXIBLE SHAFT MACHINE.

Our clients have reported that they prefer our shaft to the original product, and have asked us to make an adapter and shaft set so that it is compatible with their machine.

We do not encourage you to replace your machine with our tools, but rather to use our tools to complement your current setup.

We recommend keeping additional adapters on hand, as crimped adapters are more likely to fail at the crimp point compared to set-screw connections. If a shaft with a set-screw connection is damaged, you can simply cut off the affected section and replace the adapter using an Allen key. If a crimped shaft is damaged, a new adapter and a crimping tool will be required. Having a spare adapter available can reduce downtime on site.

As the 8mm (5/16″) shaft is considered lightweight, we suggest pairing it with lightweight chains. This shaft is suitable for soft blockages such as grease and is our second most flexible shaft, allowing it to navigate multiple bends easily.
