Eric, you will find that as usual, More power IS Better. There will be times when you will newed more As far as the shaft being Flexible, there are some that are very flexible, but they also break more readily. Foredom makes some handpieces with a Flex-Spring on the end that really helps. They also make a Flex spring extender that you would put on the end of your shaft and the handpiece connects to it for a more comfortable carving session. Major drawback it its cost of $65.00.

On using the flexshaft left-handed, if you use the reverse motor, amke sure you are using a bit that cuts both ways, AND the Recip carver Must only go in the Forward direction.
Hope all this helps.
