Description
The Foredom K.1040 Brushless Micromotor Kit is the upgraded replacement for the popular K.1060, offering two selectable speed modes for maximum torque and control. Its low-speed range delivers exceptional power between 500–5,000 rpm — ideal for precision applications such as drilling holes in hard metals or stone setting. For high-speed operations up to 50,000 rpm, the K.1040 excels in bright cutting and polishing tasks. The brushless motor design eliminates carbon brushes entirely, resulting in a maintenance-free tool with quiet, low-vibration performance in a sealed, compact housing.
Features
- Dual Speed Modes: Select between low-speed torque (500–5,000 rpm) or high-speed performance (up to 50,000 rpm).
- High Torque Output: 11.3 oz-in (8 N·cm) / 160W maximum output ensures consistent power under load.
- Brushless Design: Maintenance-free motor with no carbon brushes to replace.
- Dual Voltage: Operates at 110/120V or 220/240V with rear selector switch.
- Overload Protection: LED indicator and audible alarm prevent motor damage.
- Compact, Quiet Operation: Sealed housing reduces dust, noise, and vibration.
- Control Box: Dial speed control with LED speed display, selectable forward/reverse rotation, handpiece holder with four mounting locations, and top tray for small parts or tools.
- Two-Year Warranty: Manufacturer warranty for long-term reliability.
