Rotary tools Dremel Foredom Generic etc
« on: December 03, 2013, 10:01:44 am »
Lets see and hear about what you are using to port, muffler mod or other projects.

 I just have a generic foredom motor and just hooked it up with srcarr52 modified hand piece and way more flexible sheath then the ole one I was using in the past.   Hopefully he will explain more on the  hand pieces he offers and also can make the shafts to work on the more expensive foredoms too.

I just use one for mainly doing muffler mods, other jobs and no porting whatsoever anymore. Was wanting the cooler running hand piece mainly because my wife uses it for hours and hours when doing her foam pumpkins.  Just got it all set up yesterday with a redneck motor stand and all. Will try and grab a pic later of ready to grind set up.

Depending on what type of motor it can be rewired with a DPDT switch to run in reverse.  It all matters on how the primary vs. starting windings are phased if you'll get full power/speed in reverse.

Here was my arsenal of handpieces a few months ago.  Since then I've added some more of the #30 style (far right of first picture) and some skinny ones (left of second picture).

Wife said the skinny would be on her want list as long as it dont get hot.  She uses them a couple hours almost non-stop till she takes a break and then goes at it again over and over.  So let me know Shaun / srcarr52


Also fill free to let people know what you have to offer for sale and labor wise.

I have a skinny one = Foredom #8 doesn't get real hot.  It does get warm if running wide open.  I like it better than my # 30.

My Foredom #8's gets hot enough to burn you after a while.  I ran my AM #8 style one last night for 10 minutes full throttle and it only got slightly above room temp.

I will sell a few styles of handpieces for anyone who's interested while my supplies last.

Style 1: AM #30 handpieces shown on the right of my first picture above.  They have been reworked internally such that they don't get hot like most AM ones.  $17 + shipping.
Style 2: AM sorta #8 handpiece shown on the left of the second picture.  Comes with 3 collets and wrench.  $26 + shipping.

srcarr52  Thanks for the surprise hook up on 2 more sets.  I still had to use my metal top part that screws onto motor.  Threads were different.
