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

This was a replacement for one that took 45 years to die. The new grip design is even better- will pass it on to my grandchildren some day!

Allowed my to use 1/4 shaft tools with my HF rotary tool. That said, the HF shaft fits but not super tight like your hope for. Its looser than youd expect. You can use it as is or do as I did and use a fine metal shim to have it fit perfectly. This is just one of the Foredom parts youll need to improve the HF rotary tool. The other, which makes all the difference is the Foredom Foot pedal. Then its wow! Nice tool. And when youre ready to upgrade to Foredom you have those two parts.

Well built product.

Very disappointing. The runout is far worse than other handpieces I have used, creating excessively chattered cuts. I tried multiple carbide burs known to be straight and true but had the same issue with all three collet sizes. I was expecting better precision/tolerances from foredom. The tool seems sturdy and well built but does not perform where it counts. I discovered Foredom only publishes tolerances for the H.25 handpiece but of course is significantly more $. All Foredom handpieces are made to industrial standards – H.25 has even tighter tolerances. Run-out is 0.003″ measured 3/4″ out from end of chuck or collet.

I have a Foredom flex shaft unit and I bought two extra of these handpieces so I can easily switch between multiple tools while carving - WAY better than having to loosen, remove, pick, place, tighten a bit every time I need to change up what I am doing, especially since I am often using multiple bits with different collet/shaft diameters - makes work way more efficient to have three handpieces set up for a variety of bits. These handpieces are very well made, lightweight and reasonably ergonomic (could be better but WAY nicer than using a fat Dremel tool)

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

It works great.I like it very much.

Great product have used them for 30 yrs porting Harley heads

I probably could have given 5 stars but I hate to say I lOVE a tool. I have had several of these handpieces and they have all served me well. I do a lot of power carving so the handpiece must be durable and comfortable. This one is. I would recommend it to anyone who does power carving.

Very well made! Works great! Works with my Chicago Harbor Freight flex shaft with no mods needed. Everything was in package, no parts missing. Arrived fast WOW! Yes, I would make this purchase again.
