Problem with foredom handpieces

[Deets066]

Those look like you stole them from your wife's underwear droor.

Do they vibrate ?

The one with the bad bearing does, gets hot too

Variable speed even.

You’ve been missing out on the fun!? Shoot, all it takes is one solid “ohhh” and it’s anytime you want it.

Hey Shaun,
If you were to rank your foredom handpieces / burrs, what is your most used to least useful list... Or what do you like to use each one for?

Any adapters available this year?

I bought a little CNC lathe with hopes of making them but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Seemed like an appropriate time to bump this thread.

@srcarr52 Any news on right angle adapters?

Any good options to replace the 182 amc with a less expensive version?

Does anyone have a contact for Foredom repair parts above what is listed on Foredom’s web site? I have an H.44T hand piece that the collet closer threads are stripping on. It doesn’t seem to be listed as an option.

What method are you using to hang your Foredom? Anyone willing to show pictures of your a rope/ pulley system or swing away set-up to allow for better positioning and storage?

The dental RA’s are available on my website. Luckydogmfg.com

You have to hang the motors with something that can resist the torque so hanging by a rope will not end well. Most people make a pivot arm to swing it against the wall when not in use.

Just have to work with what your work area will allow. Mine isn't anything fancy, but it works for me either in the porting vice or in my hand sitting down.

Even hung the little mini welder on there

DC Stick

It's been a long time since I stick welded. I bet it would be laughable if I tried.

Little machine with 1/16" 6013 does sheet steel pretty good.
Been a long time since I tig welded, would be fun to try again.
Odd to think back when I went to trade school for welding in 86/87 the main focus was still on stick welding at that time. At least we were taught everything else even submerged arc, some young folks today can wire weld 1/8"- 1/4' plate and that's about it with .035" hard wire. I see the schools have upgraded now, I hope the curriculum has as well.
