Description
This flex shaft kit combines a 230V Foredom M.LX-2 low-speed, high-torque motor with a Foredom 230V C.TXR-22CE electronic foot control and your choice of duplex spring handpiece, configured for controlled stone setting and precision bench work on 230V supplies. As you ease into the pedal, the handpiece comes up to speed smoothly, letting 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 equipped 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 5,000 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: European CE Plug Built In
This kit runs on 230V only. It ships with a continental European CE plug that fits European outlets directly, so no plug adapter is needed in Europe. Anywhere else, you will need an adapter matched to your own 230V outlet. Never plug this kit into a standard 110/120V outlet. The voltage is wrong for both the motor and the control.
Features
- Complete 230V flex shaft system configured for jewelry stone setting and other detailed bench applications
- Continental European CE plug built in, so no adapter is required on European outlets
- Foot-operated variable speed control keeps both hands free to manage tools and workpieces
- Separate motor and handpiece layout keeps the working end light and maneuverable at the bench
- All nine handpiece options are duplex spring, for 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 the low-RPM technique that extends duplex spring service life

Notes
- Running a duplex spring handpiece at moderate speed, and keeping the spring straighter than 45 degrees, is what makes it last. Duplex springs carry no warranty, new or otherwise.
- This is the 230V European CE plug configuration. The same M.LX-2 motor is also offered with the C.TXR-2 foot control on a North American style plug, which needs a plug adapter.
