Well, I was getting ready to order a Foredom kit from MSC and I noticed
that MSC still carries the H series of motors (1/4HP 20,000RPM) which have
been discontinued from Fordeom. I was wondering if it would be worth it
to get them for the extra 5000RPM, or to call up MSC and see if they have
the new TXH 1/3HP 15,000RPM motors in and they just haven't gotten onto
the website yet.

Reason I'm not buying from Foredom directly is because I get a good deal
through my company when I buy from MSC.

The H & TXH both use the same shafts and handpieces, so accessories
shoudln't be an issue.

You sure? I've seen MSC print images & prices in their catalog but when you try
to order them something's wrong and when you call the manufacturer it seems the
item has been discontinued. I ran into that trying to order a part for a Weldon
air bar once.

I called them, and while I didn't confirm that it was in stock, I did
confirm that they could get in the 1/3HP version, but they didn't have any
in stock currently. Btw, if anybody is interested, the # for the TXH440
kit (motor, shaft, foot speed control, handpiece, and a few accessories)
from MSC is 08845851.

Anybody can buy from MSC and get the catalog price.
Do a web search and I suspect you will find better prices.
I bought my foredom a couple years ago. I did a web seach and found
a place called Jantz supply. Latest products and good prices.

I'm not going to be paying the catalog price. The company I work for buys
quite a bit from MSC, so I get a better deal there, plus a few other
advantages my company throws in as well.

Jantz is a good company to buy from, and I belive I've bought stuff from
them in the past. However, it doesn't look like they are carrying the TXH
series of motors, which it looks like what I'll be getting.
