Foredom K.1070 High Speed Rotary Micromotor Kit
$427.76
For high speed applications up to 38,000 rpm including light deburring of cast pieces, bright cutting in jewelry making and fine detailing in wood. 115 or 230 volt. Kit includes control box, handpiece with 3/32" collet, variable speed foot control, handpiece cradle, spare pair of motor brushes, spare fuse and collet changing wrenches.
Compared to flexible shaft machines, micromotors have less torque, however, their higher speed results in a comparable rate of material removal with a lighter touch. The simple cord connection between the handpiece motor and control box is another key advantage. Unlike the "drag" and general restriction in movement that you have with a shaft and sheath, micromotors offer much greater freedom of movement.
The K.1070 Kit includes:
- HP4-917 Control Box
- H.MH-170 Handpiece with 3/32" (2.35mm) Collet
- HP4-960 Variable Speed Foot Control
- HP4-933 Handpiece Cradle
- Spare pair of motor brushes, spare fuse, collet changing wrenches
HP4-917 Control Box is compact with switches on the front for On/Off Power, Forward or Reverse Rotation, and Manual or Foot Speed Control. Speed can be adjusted from low to full speed using the dial on the box or with the foot pedal. An Overload Protector Light is also featured that turns red and sounds a beeping alarm when the motor stalls. This is the same control unit that comes in Micromotor Kits K.1020, K.1080 and K.1090)
The back of the control box has a convenient Voltage Selector switch for operating with either 115 or 230 Volt operation. The control converts AC current to DC current required for the handpiece.
Optional 1/8" and 3mm collets are available separately. Bur changes are quick and easy with a simple twist of the front section of the Handpiece. A cradle is also supplied for the handpiece when not in use. A selection of collet adapters is available for simplifying changes between accessories with different shank sizes.
Handpiece specifications: 6.2" overall length, 5/8" grip diameter, 1" motor diameter, 7.3 oz./208 gr., DC30V/1.2A. CE marked.
HP4-927 Optional On/Off Foot Switch is also available separately to turn the motor on and off without changing the speed set by the dial.
