I love that even though this was a review of the Foredom you've got just great carving tips at the end. You never disappoint!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job, brother! I just retired and am going to get back at it! Thanks for keeping us informed and helping us to make good decisions on our tools!
That’s awesome to hear, Rusty! Glad you enjoyed the video! Maybe we can catch each other again on vacation next year 😁
I am a wood artist and I have this same tool, I use it for details and work with precision. Really recommended!
Just found a Foredom for $20, all kinds of attachments included, at an estate sale. Impressed with the quality and power of the tool.
Thank you! I am new and have a dremel 2650 and a flex shaft. I appreciate the information on the Foredom, the advice and the ebook!
So glad you are enjoying it!
Great video brother! Very detailed and informative 👏🏻
Thank you man!
Straight & usefull review bro. Thanks , greetings from Mexico.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. I’m currently using the Dremel 3000 and on my 2nd flex shaft after 2yrs of carving. This video helped me make the decision to step up to a Foredom.
same here
I love my Foredom, but mostly use my dremel, it's light weigh, but gets the job done 😅
I carve ivory with an older dremel with flex shaft. Given the difficulty in obtaining legal ivory now, I'm going to move into carving wood as well, fine work, high detail. Thanks for the info on the Foredom, it was the one I was leaning towards. My son bought me a new dremel about 2 years ago, it burned completely out in the first few months....I got my old dremel back out and it just keeps on working as it has for about 20+ years now...
Thanks for sharing🤙🏼
This came up in my feed. IIRC, I critically commented on another video of yours a time back. This video was very good. I run a Foredom TX as a daily driver and also have a Foredom SR on the same stand. Foredom's metal pedal on the TX and a Lucas pedal on the SR. Both pedals are outstanding, albeit quite different, and offer a noticeable upgrade over Foredom's plastic pedal. Similarly, Foredom sells two stands: The clamp style, as in the video, and another that bolts to the bench. I have both. If you're in a position where you can pop holes in your bench, the screw down model is the better option. Good luck.
That is a great tip!
I started with a Dremel 3000 and have upgraded to the 4300. I'm a hobby carving amateur enthusiast and it works great for me. The main reason I keep dreaming of the Foredom is the ability to run 1/4 burrs. It would really speed up up the removal process. Can't really justify the cost just yet. Maybe when I retire. Thanks for the Video Matt👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much buddy! Very interesting and useful video!
I love carving wood with a chainsaw, but recently I decided to try cutting small pieces with FOREDOM. It's also very interesting!👋👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Foredom uses 1/4 inch Kutzall burs. Really Hogs out wood. If you have lots of time to play Dremel is great.
Foredom has 25 habits and 6 motors. Used as standard tool for jewelers.
Thanks for the vid! OF COURSE it's worth it. Supporting quality tools built in America, brings its own premium. Pride in your work, pride in your tools. Both of these helps make a purchase worth it.
Well said!
Question, will the quick attachment hand piece for the foredom fit the dremel fortiflex 9100
do you have any videos on that filter dust extractor?
Looking at getting a foredom i have a dremel so am i best to get a 6mm foredom
Wonderful video.
Thank you bro! Btw, the tux looks nice on me 😁
Hi Matt, Always learn something from you. That's the reason I do letters, it seems easier.
I didn't know you knew about gas pedals. ( Though you had a driver) HAHA. Thanks Matt for your video
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
what about the Dremel 9100-21 Fortiflex 2.5 Amp Flex Shaft, have you made a comparison on them? I am about to buy one of them
Which one do you recommend, the 5200 or the 5240? For wood carving. Please help. Thank you and God Bless
Can I use pattern bits with this tool?
Thank you for this interesting demonstration.
I carve the wood with a Dremel and knives. I would also like to purchase a Foredome for carving wood AND occasionally carving soft stone. Can this model do that? THANKS !!
I inherited a Foredom handpiece... appears to the the H.8 .. Grandpop carved NZ jade and bone and things a bit. I don't think this one was hardly used. I make wooden flutes and sculpted "blocks" (like a little totem on the flute as a removable part). I have no motor etc... my favorite tool so far is a Black & Decker battery rotary tool I removed the ass end off and wired directly. But it's weak.
thanks for sharing 5 star review
Thank you so much for watching!
Im just starting. I just bought the Dremel Stylo. My eventual plan is to upgrade. After I get more comfortable and better at wood work. I also am working on pyrography. I know combining the 2 is possible. That’s what I’d like to experiment with. So new to the work and the channel. Thanks for releasing the content you do. I think I can learn a lot from your videos.
Glad you are enjoying the content!
@@CorneliusCreations I’m working hard on improving my technique. When better I’d like to purchase the razor tip dual kit and some of the other equipment you have mentioned. It’s not just you, I’ve watched many videos and most if not all use the razor tip tools etc. i looked at the different offers and for now it’s sort of mind boggling how many different options and kits they have based on need etc. I’ll figure it out eventually lol just finished a project I made for my work. I’m quite happy with the end product. Tons of noticeable mistakes but I figure it will smooth itself out the more I work at it. It seriously helps having a steady hand giving tips and advice and showing how to be better. Thank you.
@@CorneliusCreations sorry for the long responses or comments. Just have lots to say. I’ll try to keep it short from now on.
my advice is to get something else soon. the stylo runs out of power super fast, runtime like 20 monutes i believe when i had one.
Just keep on practicing!
Do you send shirts to Australia. Thanks.
Hey Matt, thanks for the video, right now i use a dremel Stylo, but looking into buying a dremel 4000 as it has more power. Not ready just yet for a Foredom, but would love to upgrade sometime!
Glad you enjoyed it! The Dremel 4000 would be a great upgrade for you!
@@CorneliusCreations thank you!!!
@@PamsieLala You are welcome!
I saw in another video that you tried the Dremel Fortiflex. For carved wood sculpture what do you recommend between the Foredom SR and the Dremel Fortiflex? I also wanted to ask if you noticed a noise difference (DB) between the two motors, which one makes less noise?
The Dremel makes a little more noise. The foredom has a little more horsepower, but both are great options.
@@CorneliusCreations thanks. Finaly i opted for a dremel 4000 coupled with a foredom pedal. I buy it at the end of the month.
Got my SR for guitar inlays etc… awesome with stewmac plunge base
Right on! Have you done mother of pearl inlays?
@@CorneliusCreations many times. I don’t use the fake stuff on my builds. Top notch woods and hardware are only used. Well whatever I consider top notch lol. We all think differently. #GDGuitars
i am new to master carvers my dad has an master carver that he's been teaching me how to use i made my first wooden bowl out of wood and i've never worked with an electric master carver , i have worked with an sander but not an felxiable master carver until yesterday afternoon i am an woman of many talents now my dad is going to have to fight me for his master carver now that he's taught me how to use it how do you like yours?
I purchased a Dremel 3000 and on high speeds it was OK no operating issues, but when I ran it on its slowest setting it would speed up on its own accord to unacceptable levels. I returned it for a refund, but they would only refund the actual Dremel 3000 unit, not all the other parts that I purchased at the same time(Flex shaft, accessory kit , case etc), and that is a warning to people purchasing through Amazon, get the base unit and then when happy purchase the other parts over time and build your collection as you go. I have now purchased a Foredom SR and why I am watching this video. Great video and useful info.....
So you don't use top speed when intense hogging? I guess I assumed it would work best at higher speed for that. Would it put too much stress on the machine?
I will go slower if I am developing burn marks. For some of my hickory handles, I won’t run the Foredom full blast because the coarse kutzall burrs perform better running slower on this type of wood. You have to get a feel for what you are doing and allow the tool to talk to you if that makes sense. Fast doesn’t always equal clean smooth cuts when hogging.
Makes total sense. I'm sure I'll get a feel for it. I already am as I practice things. Thanks for answering! I wasn't sure you would see this because it's an old video and I know you're a busy man! I appreciate it! If you don't mind answering one more curious question, what is your favorite wood to carve?
I would say probably basswood for how easy it is. But I almost always carve hickory.
Awesome info. I am diving into more woodwork now that I am becoming a gunsmith. Every piece of advice helps.
Glad to help!
Have you tried the Fordham TX model? It has twice the horsepower at 1/3 HP, compared to the Sr model which has 1/6 HP? I was wondering why you picked the Fordham Sr instead of the TX model. Thanks for your videos and best wishes.
Hey there, Great question. If you watched the video you will see where Foredom recommends the SR to most customers. You need the speed that the SR has for Woodcarving. The TX model is made for slower applications. You will find that a lot of mechanics use the foredom.
The Foredom TX has a heavy duty flexshaft. The key has a square fitting.
It is great for grave stone 👍 see @ West Virginia Stone Carving.
matt you know me as lawrence,, i will be glad when you get to do some more lives miss you my friend been a while but ,,, i know you have to make a living
When I use a flexible shaft after 10 minutes it is very hot, how can I fix it
grease it
@@justinsane332
I grease it but to no avail
@@baqergt5062 well, that should do it... all flex shafts build up some heat in use, is it too hot to touch? or just warm?
@@justinsane332
At first it was very hot, then I put a lot of oil and it stays hot, and after using it for a week, the temperature decreases, and now I wrapped it in a cloth and used it.
whats better Dremel 3000 or marathon 3 and why please ?
Dremel will have more power and will be more versatile than the Marathon because of the 1) power 2) the accepts different burr sizes with multi-Chuck
@@CorneliusCreations thank you.
No problem!
Ps .. also if you’re left handed, can one use a Dremel?
You can, but you have to compensate for the "forward spin".
of course, but with some challenges, such as spin
Sit your video recording camera name please
Panasonic S5 with 24-70mm
What about the Foredom Tx? what is the difference?
The TX is made for Garage applications and spins much lower. The Foredom SR is best for Woodcarving
@@CorneliusCreations Thank you very much for your answer!
what kind of dust collecter is that? 👀
Psi woodworking tabletop dust collector
There you are!
Danielle!!! I miss you!
@@CorneliusCreations Dude, I sent you an email :P How come you didn't reply?
really great vid, they owe you money if they didn't pay.
How noisy?
Not too bad, I’m not sure on the decibels
Why even use a Dremel if you have a Foredom?
Did you watch the FULL video? 😉
there are reasons. a foredom can be your one and done tool, but not a dremel in my opinion. however, having both is a boon.
I'm am 14 years old 😎 so no 🚗
I ruined the likes.. I was 667 :(
Man. You sure your partner doesn't own this company or something.
Not at all man. Just content for the channel
