Foredom M.LXM LX Bench Motor with Built-In Speed Control, Duplex and Handpiece Choice

The Foredom M.LXM is the bench-mounted version of the LX low-speed, high-torque flex shaft motor. Instead of hanging from a hanger with a separate control, the motor sits on a cast iron base with the dial speed control built in, so it goes anywhere on the workbench and there is nothing to mount or plug together. You set the working speed on the dial and use the motor's own on/off switch to power up, which brings you back to that same speed time after time. This kit pairs the 115V M.LXM with your choice of duplex spring handpiece, configured for controlled stone setting and precision bench work.

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.

Features

• 1/10 HP permanent magnet, ball bearing LX motor with full torque from start-up through its 5,000 RPM range
• Dial speed control built into the cast iron base, with a separate on/off switch that returns the motor to the set speed
• Bench mounted: no hanger, no separate foot or dial control to place
• All nine handpiece options are duplex spring, for added flexibility and reach at the work surface
• 115V operation on a standard North American outlet
• 5,000 RPM maximum speed is well suited to the low-RPM technique that extends duplex spring service life

Available Options

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 a bench motor with its own control built in. The hang-up M.LX motor with a separate foot or dial control is stocked separately.
