The inner cable on the flex shaft works loose at the motor end and the head stops,
this is happening about 2 minutes into a job. It seems that the cable is to short.
Any one else experienced this?

There should be a brass ring on the flex shaft cable at the head end. If not call Carve Wright and they will send you one. It keeps the shaft from traveling into the head and coming out of the motor.

Move the brass ferule down about an 1/8th" and gently crimp it. Get another from Carvewright to add to the first as a permanant fix. I crimped mine and havent had to add the other yet. :D
