110V / 120V supply only. This unit is built for standard North American household current (110V / 120V). Running it on 220V / 240V through a voltage converter-transformer voids any warranty the equipment may have. Confirm your outlet voltage before powering on.

The Foredom M.SR Flex Shaft Motor is the trusted 1/6 HP workhorse behind one of the most widely used flexible shaft systems in professional jewelry studios and metalsmithing shops. This listing lets you buy the 115V motor exactly the way you want it: on its own for replacing an existing motor or building a custom setup, or paired with your choice of Foredom foot speed control. Every configuration delivers 0 to 18,000 RPM variable speed, ball bearing construction, and forward and reverse operation for grinding, polishing, carving, and finishing tasks.
Note: A handpiece is required to operate a flex shaft machine and is sold separately. A compatible speed control is required for safe operation; do not plug the motor directly into a wall outlet.
