Help! My Dremel broke!

[UPSTARTCROWE]

I am dremeless...The motor runs but the shaft won't rotate. I opened it and saw two rubber cylinders which, it appears, need to touch each other to turn the tool (exterior) shaft. They don't touch and when I slide them together thge dremel works only briefly. Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? I'm trying to contact Dremel repair sites for a replacement part now.

Dremal replaces them most often for free.
I just send the back and a new one shows up a few weeks later.

I haven't actually pulled a Dremel apart, but I think that is one shaft which split into two pieces. Just my thoughts...

I heard that you could go into any machine shop and they would fix it for you.....

Just kidding, I'll bring mine over tomorrow, give me a call in the morning, cause I know you will be reading this at zero dark thirty......

Funny Eric. I'm holding on the phone for...wait, they answered. Dremel says it's the "flex coupling" and they recommend replacing the "spine driver" simultaneously. I'll order the parts. You'll need them when I steal your flex coupling for my moto-tool.
