Handpiece is $10 cheaper at Foredom! Check out the manufacturers website. There is also a compact version for $59, check it out!

My first experience with Foredom flex-shaft units was around 1978 when I began my career in Tool & Die. In the decades since every shop Ive worked in used them. Just recently I found a Chinese Foredom SR unit for dirt cheap- https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Hanging-Flexshaft-Polishing-Jewelry/dp/B07HYMCQGM/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 The only problem is the #30 3-jaw chuck handpiece that usually comes with Foredoms. Its good for little odd-sized drill bits, and maybe some felt bobs for light polishing, but I wouldnt use it for anything serious. Basically all drill chucks arent very good for a lot of sideways force. If you chuck up a 1/4 carbide burr on a 1/8 shank and start hogging away at different metals youll see what I mean right away. The shank slowly slides out, distorting the jaws and eventually ruining the tiny chuck. THATS when the 44T really shines. 3/32, 1/8, AND 1/4 shanks lock in really tight and wont slide back out under extreme usage. Plus, theyll still run true 20 years down the road. In my opinion the Foredom 44T is the ultimate companion handpiece for any flex-shaft machine that will accept it. DISCLAIMER: My opinion here is after paying full price. Discounts, trinkets, and freebies wont ever sway my commitment to the truth.

Wonderful hand piece, mates smoothly with my Foredom flexible grinder and holds the tools like no other.

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

Great handpiece! Anyone who uses a Foredom regularly for heavier jobs should have a 44T! Collets are the way to go for holding your tooling with confidence

great tools & fun to work with.

Awesome
