KP-55A Drive Shaft KP-5507
The KUPA Drive Shaft #KP-5507 is an OEM-specified replacement component designed for the KUPA KP-55A (and compatible KP-series) handpieces. This precision steel shaft forms a key part of the internal rotor/spindle assembly, transmitting motion and supporting the high-speed rotation of your nail drill handpiece. When the drive shaft becomes worn, bent, or out of tolerance, issues such as bit wobble, excessive vibration, or reduced performance can occur. Replacing this part helps restore smooth, reliable operation.
