Foredom LX Flex Shaft with C.SXR-1 Foot Control, Duplex and Handpiece Choice

This flex shaft kit combines a 115V Foredom M.LX low-speed, high-torque motor with the Foredom 115V C.SXR-1 foot control in its cast iron housing and your choice of duplex spring handpiece, configured for controlled stone setting and precision bench work. As you ease into the pedal, the handpiece comes up to speed smoothly, letting you feel each cut rather than fight it, and the cast iron housing keeps the control planted under the bench through hard daily use. 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.

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 duplex spring version of the kit. The same motor and C.SXR-1 control are also offered with standard handpieces, including a No Handpiece option.
