The Foredom is a lower speed - high torque tool which is more suitable for
hogging out material. It is an electric cable-operated tool that excels in
larger wood removal projects and is great for detail sanding due to its
variable speed pedal.


Just for clarification, the Foredom (350K) in the Wood magazine article
I referenced is a high-speed, air-driven unit (I'd assume by the model
number, it likely spins at 350,000 rpm) and different from the electric
cable-driven tool most of us are familiar with.
