The Badeco MX-4
Touch Evolution
Dual Voltage 115/230V micromotor has been designed for use in the jewelry and watchmaking industries of Switzerland, the number one producer of super-premium jewelry and watches for the world. What separates this micromotor apart from all others is the quality, precision and reliability of the power box, motor and of course, the handpiece, and the single most important part of a micromotor. The Badeco Carbon Series Micromotor is a remarkable piece of Swiss engineering, giving you unstoppable torque at the lowest speed, the kind of low end power that jewelers need for drilling and stone setting.
The Badeco MX-4 Touch Evolution 4 handpiece kit includes:
- Badeco New Carbon Quick Change 465 HP: The ultimate quick change handpiece with 3/32" collet.* The New Badeco 465 is lightweight yet solid, fitting perfectly in the hand allowing for continuous stress free work. To open the quick change collet all that is required is a simple 1/4 turn of the handpiece making for rapid tool change without the need of a lever or a wrench. This new version allows for tool changing without having to stop the motor. The 1/4 turn to close the collet produces a very secure grip that firmly closes on the bur or drill being used. As sold with all Badeco Quick Change kits as of January 2023. For more information on the New 465 Badeco Handpiece, see part number 134.738-465 link below.

Badeco 318 Combi Hammer Handpiece - The 318 Combi is a hammer handpiece that produces impact strokes rated from medium to hard. The "Combi" name refers to the 2 different ways this handpiece can be used. When the left side toggle switch on the control box is set to hand use the strokes on the 318 are constant to the speed you choose on the center speed control dial. When you switch the left side toggle to foot control the 318 will give you a single stroke every time you touch the foot control. Whichever mode you choose you can control the strength of the impact strokes by twisting the impact controller ring on the 318 handpiece itself.

Mounting Hardware - Use this hardware to mount the control box on your workbench.
The Badeco MX-4
Touch Evolution control box with handpiece holders activates the single handpiece that you remove from the individual holders. If more than 1 handpiece is removed from the holders the power is stopped.
If you wish to operate with empty holders simply block off the photo cell in the unused holder with black tape.The control box allows for a variety of operating modes:
- You can set the speed manually using the center speed control dial.
- The far left toggle switch allows you to run manually by hand (handpiece speed controlled only by the center speed dial) or by foot control (handpiece speed controlled by foot control).
- The center toggle switch allows you to operate in forward (right rotation) or reverse (left rotation).
- The far right toggle switch controls how the foot pedal is operated. When the far left toggle switch is positioned down for foot control and the center speed control is in any position but off, the far right toggle switch allows for either set speed control or variable speed control.
*Version 2 features a re-designed control box with new 6 prong connector for the PC200 or PC800 foot controls. Previous versions had 7 prong connectors for use with the PC100 or PC750 foot controls.**The collet on the Badeco 465 is extremely precise and is made to use with equally precise shank size burs from Busch, Brasseler (branded as Fox Germany, Panther or Komet) and Dentsply Maillefer (Otto Frei Swiss brand). American made HSS burs will not give good results in the Badeco 465 handpiece as their shanks are not as uniformly precise in size.
