Modifying a Foredom Handpiece
 

Has anyone every tried (or heard of someone trying) to modify the Foredom
Hammer Handpiece into a reciprocating carver? I don't know what the stroke
is but from a quick test of it I'd guess in the tens of thousandths of an
inch range.

TIA

WHY?? Foredom makes a reciprocating hand piece.

The hammer handpiece IS the reciprocating handpiece I mentioned. I'm asking
if anyone's used it to create a power carver!

Maybe I am being more dense that normal. The hand piece (50C) that I
am thinking about is a reciprocating carver. ($80.00 at Woodcraft) It
has its own blades plus you can use the Flex-cut blades.
It don't have the power of the Arbortech or the Automach, but the price
is nicer.

I've never seen that. Foredom has nothing like that in their catalog and I
can't recall having seen it anywhere. But I'll look now that I know it's
available.

In the mean time, has anyone tried modifying the Hammer Handpiece?

I just went to the Foredom website
http://www.blackstoneind.com/foundations/store/home.asp
and found out that it's a brand-new handpiece. Thanks for bringing it to my
attention.
