Foredom 44T Handpiece Foredom Flexible Shaft Grinders - H.44T

So smooth no heat

Bought this to be able to use 1/4 shank carbide bits with my Foredom pendant motor. Have previously only used their smaller 3/32 bits for working jewelry, so I wasnt sure how it would handle 1/4 bits. So far it has been amazing. Am using carbide bits to remove some serious metal from an aluminum intake manifold. The 44T has performed well. Tons of power, great speed, and easy to hold and control. Much better than my pneumatic die grinder, and the Foredom is about 90% quieter. After about an hour of solid grinding, the handpiece and motor do get fairly warm, so I have been giving them a periodic rest. But as I mentioned I am really grinding hard, and I still think this is doing a great job for a device thats truly intended for lighter duty work.

Have been useing them for year with no issues

Handle is sturdy, handles removal of medium hardness hardwood, work well with 1/8 shanks. Gets the rougher work done with ease. Using this on walnut wood carvings.

Its amazing everything you would expect from freedom you definitely get what you pay for

I love these handpieces, sturdy and easy to put in the burrs quickly.

I wanted a flexshaft handpiece that I could use to mount 1/4 tools and this is it. Not many of these handpieces will hold 1/4 shafts which really come in handy when doing power carving. I just had to modify the shaft and mounting ring on my Chicago Electric unit. Took a little doing but it works well. Eventually I plan to use it on either a Foredom or Mastercarver flexshaft system, though it might be handy to have it available just for detail sanding on the Chicago Electric. Later note: I see that some responses have noted that no modifications were necessary for the shaft to fit with a Harbor Freight tool. For some reason the shaft would not fit as is on mine. Either way this is an excellent hand piece. I continue to use this on the Harbor Freight tool on nearly a daily basis.

Use this for carving decoys

Excellent hand tool

Product is exactly what we needed and expected. Have used Fordham carving products for years, and though somewhat more expensive than other brands, we know what we are getting in quality and performance. Worth the extra cost. Thanks
