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 Norm |

Modifying a Foredom Handpiece
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. Norm Dresner wrote: | The hammer handpiece IS the reciprocating handpiece I mentioned.

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? Norm |

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Norm |
