Product Description
Foredom Brushless Micromotor Kit - high speed and high torque - choose which handpiece collet size you want - 2.35mm or 3.17mm collet size.
This is one of Foredom's top of the range micro motor kits. It is a high torque and high speed micromotor. A top speed of 50,000 RPM gives you a fast and smooth cut.
It has a dual port so can take two handpieces. One comfortable brushless handpiece is included in the kit.
No matter what speed you run it at, this unit is virtually noise and vibration free. Set the speed you want and use the foot pedal for turning the motor on and off - ideal for when you are using burrs and bits that that need a slower speed (like the Typhoon burrs for instance). Control the speed and your tools will last longer!
The simple cord connection between the hand piece motor and control box is a great advantage. The hand piece is very comfortable in the hand, and the lightweight and flexible cord means 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; micro-motors offer much greater freedom of movement.
The totally sealed handpiece units keep dust and dirt out so they last longer.
This micromotor kit is available in two kit-types - the only difference is the collet pre-mounted in the handpiece:
-
2.35mm (3/32")
-
3.17mm (1/8")
Note - you can purchase a collet separately and change yourself if you later want to use the other size.
The high-speed brushless rotary handpiece included 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.
