The Foredom MH-170 is a high-speed rotary handpiece engineered for precision work requiring a refined grip and consistent high-speed performance. Its slender, contoured body allows for excellent control during detailed carving, engraving, and finishing tasks. The quick-change rotary-type chuck accepts collets for fast, secure bit swaps at the bench.
This handpiece is the micromotor included with the Foredom K.1070 kit and comes standard with a 3/32" (2.35mm) collet. Optional collets in 1/8" and 3mm are available separately. Note that the Foredom Control Box HP4-917 is required for operation and is not included.
