What do you use on yours?
I have had mine about 40 years and never lubed the cable. Maybe I should.
I have mine hanging from a beam (tree trunk) in my low ceiling basement. The motor can swing freely so normally there is minimal bend when I am using it. Another advantage over a Dremel is it will run at slow speed, better for using wire brushes or deburring with rubberized abrasives (Craytex). I think Foredom makes a stand that will hold the motor at a horizontal if you want to use it sitting at your work bench.
