So, I had to buy a new Dremel (my cordless one died) to work on my plane, I got the 4000. Question is, do you have to hang it to use the flex shaft? Or can I lay it on something, just asking before I rig up some white trashy hanger in my dining area.

Quoted: You can lay it down, but its much easier to use if you simply hang it. Yeah this, especially if you need to turn it off quickly I just make a hanger out of a.... well, a hanger. Any metal clothes hanger will make for a pretty good S hook, even if it's a plastic bodied hanger. Also, don't lay it in your lap, you need those cooling vents clear. |

Aside from cooling issues, it makes the flex shaft easier to manipulate (some retard is going to have fun with that  )
If it's laying down, it will rock/bounce because of windup in the shaft. Hanging it up means it just twists in the wind instead. No drama results. |
