Description
This flex shaft kit combines a 230V Foredom M.LX-2 low-speed, high-torque motor with a 230V Foredom C.SXR-2 cast iron foot control and your choice of duplex spring handpiece, configured for controlled stone setting and precision bench work on 230V supplies. The cast iron housing keeps the pedal planted on the floor as you work, and easing into it brings the handpiece up to speed smoothly so you feel each cut rather than fight it. The separate motor-and-handpiece layout keeps the working end light and maneuverable, while the foot-operated variable speed control keeps both hands free to manage tools and workpieces.
When using a duplex spring equipment handpiece you should always keep the RPM's low. High revs are the most common reason for duplex spring failure, right behind operating the duplex spring bent at more than 45 degrees. Since duplex springs have no warranty, even when brand new, we strongly recommend using the 5000 RPM maximum speed Foredom LX with your duplex spring equipped handpiece. That's why this selection of handpieces are all duplex springs. Feel free to use any key tip type handpiece with your Foredom LX.
Power and Plug: Adapter Required
This kit runs on 230V only. Its power cord ends in a NEMA 5-15 style plug, the familiar North American shape, so connecting it takes a plug adapter matched to your outlet: a NEMA 230V outlet adapter on North American 230V circuits, or the adapter specific to your country's outlets elsewhere. Never plug this kit into a standard 110/120V outlet. The plug will fit, but the voltage is wrong for the motor and control.
Features
- Complete 230V flex shaft system configured for jewelry stone setting and other detailed bench applications
- Cast iron foot control stays planted on the floor and keeps both hands free to manage tools and workpieces
- Separate motor and handpiece layout keeps the working end light and maneuverable at the bench
- Duplex spring handpiece options provide added flexibility and reach at the work surface
- Motor maintains steady power under load to help prevent stalling during cutting, drilling, or hammering tasks
- 5,000 RPM maximum speed is well suited to low-RPM techniques that help extend duplex spring service life
