SR Flex Shaft Sets

Foredom SR Flex Shaft Tool Sets are a complete professional flexible shaft machine system for gemstone carving and jewelry work based around the most popular Foredom motor coupled with your choice of speed control and handpiece.

Usage

The Foredom M.SR Motor is the best motor for general use with a wide selection of sintered diamond carving burs and bits for stone work, tungsten carbide bur sets to shape and refine your jewelry, and a selection of other rotary burs, bits, and brushes. Foredom estimates that 80% of users should be using an SR Series system. This 1/6 hp, ball bearing Series SR motor has 33% more power than older 1/8 hp motors and 66% more than original 1/10 hp models. This added power helps to reduce stalling or slowing down under normal workloads. Hang-Up style motors require the motor be secured above your work bench, Foredom-specific motor hangers or Work Bench Systems are available separately. SR motor systems are also available in Jeweler's Kits. Flexible shaft grease is included for routine maintenance of your investment.

The motor is able to run in forward and reverse at speeds up to 18,000 RPM which can offer several advantages:

• Left handed users have more control of the cutting tool
• Reverse helps to keep dust and other debris flying away from right handed users
• Alternating motor direction helps to extend the life of certain abrasives
• Reverse helps with accomplishing symmetrical grinding and carving techniques
• Reverse makes it easier to back out stuck drill bits
• Alternating motor direction makes it easier and faster to polish metals

Specifications

A 1/6hp ball bearing hang-up style M.SR comes equipped with a motor bale for hanging and the standard 39" long key tip inner shaft and outer sheath for connecting to any of Foredom's interchangeable, quick disconnect handpieces. Offering all of the power and speed needed to accomplish most every job, Foredom motors are rated honestly through rigorous design and testing at continuous duty or maximum efficiency and NOT maximum output to ensure there are no surprises or disappointment when using their tools professionally. The non-continuous max-output rating used by other manufacturers would qualify the M.SR motor as 1/5 or 1/4hp. Series-SR motors come in 115 Volt and 230 Volt for use where 115V is not available, and are backed by a two-year manufacturer's warranty on the motor and control.

Customize your Foredom SR flex-shaft system with your choice of foot pedal or tabletop speed controls and optional handpieces.

⚙️Maintenance kits and full tune-up kits are available when your flex-shaft starts to show signs of wear.
