The Foredom K.2272 Flex Shaft Kit is a professional-grade rotary tool system built around the powerful M.SR Series Motor and packed with an expansive 88-piece accessory kit — making it one of the most complete flex shaft setups available for jewelers, metalsmiths, and serious hobbyists stepping up from a Dremel tool. Compared to the K.2230 kit, the K.2272 includes a larger AK21 Accessory Kit valued at an additional $82.00, bringing the total kit value to $463.00.

Reverse Motor Benefits
- Left-handed users gain improved control of cutting tools in reverse
- Reverse directs dust and debris away from right-handed users
- Alternating direction extends the life of certain abrasives
- Supports symmetrical grinding and carving techniques
- Makes it easier to back out stuck drill bits
- Speeds up and improves metal polishing results
Caution: When using screw-top mandrels with unmounted polishing wheels, the reverse feature may unscrew the mandrel screw. Use only pre-mounted polishing wheels that are permanently mounted on mandrels when operating in reverse.
