Description
A flex shaft system hangs the motor above the bench and leaves a light handpiece in your hand and the speed under your foot, which is how most drilling, grinding, sanding and polishing gets done at a jeweler's bench. The Foredom K.8301 Flex Shaft Kit is a complete, ready to use 115V system that bundles the M.SR motor, the H.30 handpiece and the C.FCT-1 foot control into one package for jewelers, metalsmiths and craftspeople who want reliable rotary power.
The M.SR motor is a 115V, 1/6 HP ball bearing motor running up to 18,000 RPM, holding power across nearly any material under normal load without stalling or slowing. It is reversible, which opens up a range of techniques. The H.30 handpiece holds tools from zero to 5/32" (3.9mm) in an adjustable Jacobs chuck.
Features
- Reversible motor direction for added control and versatility
- Left handed users gain better control of cutting tools in reverse
- Reverse direction helps carry dust and debris away from right handed users
- Alternating direction extends the life of certain abrasives
- Supports symmetrical grinding and carving techniques
- Stuck drill bits come out more easily when the motor runs in reverse
- Faster, more effective metal polishing when direction is alternated
- Two year warranty on every Foredom motor
- H.30 adjustable chuck handpiece: holds tools from zero to 5/32" (3.9mm) in a Jacobs chuck, tightened with a chuck key
- C.FCT-1 foot control: solid state circuitry in a heavy duty plastic housing, the same circuitry used in the more expensive cast iron foot control
- Low profile foot control with an extra wide footprint and non-skid pads for smooth variable speed across the full range
- Free shipping within the continental USA
Notes
Caution: when screw top mandrels are used with unmounted polishing wheels, the reverse feature can unscrew the mandrel screw that holds the wheel on the mandrel. Use only pre-mounted polishing wheels that are permanently mounted on mandrels when running the motor in reverse.
