Foredom rotary tools & flexible shaft machines are built to industrial standards. Foredom is known for quality and reliability. Some people say Foredom – when they mean any Flexible Shaft Machine. Flex shafts are used for many jobs including grinding, deburring, carving, engraving, stone setting, and polishing on virtually any material. A complete Foredom flexible shaft machine has a motor that rotates a flexible shaft connected to a precision handpiece, plus – it needs a speed control adjustible by foot or hand.
​
Micromotors and bench lathes are other rotary tools that Foredom makes.
​
Micromotors have ‘micro-sized’ power tool motors inside of the handpiece and a cord connected to a control box that permit high speed operation – some prefer these to a flexible shaft. We even have a portable micomotor, powered by a lithium ion battery, that can be used on-the-go for hours.
Foredom bench lathes are powerful, compact and useful for many grinding, buffing and polishing applications.
