Select Your Speed Control
Customize your Foredom LX flex-shaft system with your choice of foot pedal or tabletop speed controls. M.LX motors require the use of a TXR-1, SXR-1, or EMX-1 speed control which have the same housing as other Foredom speed controls but convert AC current from an electrical outlet to DC current required by Series LX motors. These controls have a different style plug that is made to fit the motor's shielded-type plug, and damage will result if the motor is connected to any other speed control.
