The great feature of Foredom's SR series flex shaft motor is its reversibility. Alternating the motor's direction is useful in symmetrical grinding and carving, extends the life of some abrasives, speeds up and facilitates metal polishing, and helps to keep dust and grindings flying away from right-handed users. Left-handed users have more control of the cutting tool when the motor is in reverse mode. The all new, 1/6 HP ball bearing flexshaft motor has 33% more power than its predecessor - added power that minimizes stalling or slowing under load. Furnished with Foredom's FCT foot control, shaft/sheath, no. 30 handpiece with chuck key (see related products below) plus a 43 piece set of attachments, rotating bur and tool stand, and shaft lubricant. Also available without the flexshaft handpiece or the foot control but with the accessories. 110 volts, made in USA.
