Product Description
This is one of Foredom's top of the range micromotor kits. This Dual Handpiece kit comes with two handpieces; a fixed size collet version as well as a hammer handpiece.
The high torque and top speed of 50,000 RPM gives you a fast and smooth cut.
No matter what speed you run it at, this unit is virtually noise and vibration free. Set the speed you want and use the footpedal for turning the motor on and off - ideal for when you are using burrs that need a slower speed, like the Typhoon burrs for instance - control the speed and your tools last longer!
The simple cord connection between the handpiece motor and control box is a great advantage. It is very comfortable in the hand, and gives much less strain when being used for longer periods. Compared to a normal flexshaft you get a lot less 'drag' and don't have the same general restriction in manoeuvrability; micromotors offer much greater freedom of movement.
The totally sealed handpiece units keep dust and dirt out so they last longer.
Two handpieces are included in this kit;
Brushless rotary handpiece
This is a fixed size collet handpiece. It connects to port in the back of the control box. It runs virtually vibration free with high torque throughout the entire speed range of 1,000-50,000 rpm. See additional specs below.
- Choose which size collet you want pre-mounted in this handpiece:
-
2.35mm (3/32")
-
3.17mm (1/8")
-
Brushtype Hammer handpiece
This is a reciprocal handpiece which operates at 1,000 – 2,500 strokes per minute. Connects to port in front of the control box. See additional specs below.
