I was watching a video that featured a Negimaru 120 and it has a really interesting drive(?). It’s a vegetable slicer
Here’s a video, a review maybe? It’s in Japanese but that’s not necessarily important… here’s two timestamped links. The first one shows being able to plug into different gears to adjust the thickness of the cut. The second one has a great closeup of it working

Using auto translate, it came up with “joint wire” that led me nowhere. I know it’s basically like a flexible drill extension, but what is that action actually technically called?
It’s just a specialized version of wire rope. Similar to what they use in flexible ratchet extensions.
That’s super close! I’m curious what the mechanism is called. Like, it’s not a worm drive, it’s a _____?
