Here a bench style version of Foredom's M.SR motor has an integrated dial speed control built into its cast-iron base for manual speed adjustment and easy placement anywhere on the workbench.
M.SRM Motor Description: Foredom's 1/6 HP, universal, flexible shaft machine runs in forward and reverse rotation at speeds up to 18,000 RPM. The M.SRM combines the most important features our customers expect - power, reversibility, reliability, and versatility - all in one motor. It comes equipped with our standard 39" long key tip shafting for connecting to any of Foredom's interchangeable, quick disconnect handpieces.
The hand dial is used to adjust and set speed. This manual style control allows you to maintain and return to a desired speed, time and again, by using the motor on/off switch rather than the speed control to power up the unit.
Note: For all International Orders, the buyer will be solely responsible for the customs clearance, duty, and taxes imposed on the package.
