Rated at 1\/10 HP with a maximum speed of 5,000 RPM, this permanent magnet ball bearing motor delivers consistent power at low speeds without bogging down under load — exactly what professional stone setting demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe M.LX series is the successor to the discontinued EE, R, and original L series motors developed for professional jewelry stone setters. It is equally well-suited for use with hammer handpieces, such as those designed for lower operating speeds, since hammer handpieces perform best within the M.LX's optimal speed range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis motor ships with a standard-length key-tip shaft and a flexible neoprene sheath, making it compatible with quick-disconnect handpieces from Foredom and other professional brands. Build your own custom flex shaft setup by pairing this motor with a compatible speed control and your choice of handpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Foredom M.LX motor requires a compatible speed control — never plug this motor directly into a wall outlet. The LX series uses permanent magnet ball bearing motors that run on DC current. LX-series controls include special electronics that convert AC current to DC and feature a distinct shielded plug style. SR-series controls are \u003cem\u003enot\u003c\/em\u003e compatible with the M.LX motor and cannot be modified or adapted for use with it.
