Great video - if I already have a foredom motor and hand piece, do I just need to pick up another 'reciprocating' hand piece (plus chisel tips...)? Which model is this?
I know this video is old but Foredom recommends the LX motor for the hammer hand piece as the LX has a max rpm of 5000 which is what the chisels max rating is, they have been getting reports that when the chisels were used with the SR motor at 18000 people were burning up the hand pieces too fast.
I have seen the rating for that hand tool at 1000 to 8000 but Foredom advertise this. Recommended Speed: Optimum Speed Range- 3,000-10,000 rpm. Max. Operating Speed- 18,000 rpm. Handpiece specifications: 6" long, 1" in diameter, weight: 4.6 oz., ship wt: 6.65 oz.
thank you for showing it in action. the foredom videos are something to be desired. I notice you're carving some sweet sweet soft wood. it almost looks effortless. what/how do you suppose it would work on solid hickory? (I'm carving a massive shepherds crook and need to get in some areas that are ridiculous with my traditional tools, and it would take me an eternity using them as well) thanks for your response in advance if you find the time. g

Thanks Don! I was just looking at this set up. Can't wait to try it.
Looks like a real effort saver. Thanks for sharing.

It would be a lot better if the background music was turned off. it makes listening very annoying and unclear.

If you keep the SR at a low speed it can work. A dial control can help with that, too. If you 'floor it' it will damage any reciprocating handpiece.

Should be fine. The tip just needs to be sharp.
Work with the tool. Let it do the work, should be good.
At about 1:23 you held up a foredom hand piece with what kind and size sander was on there? Great review.
King Arthur tools
That is awesome. I was gonna buy one of those but I wasn't sure if it was gonna fit. Now I know. Thanks man. Good video.
I can’t help but notice you’re green vise, where can we get one like it?
That's called a Pattern Makers Vice. I see Lee Valley sells them. I got mine at Garrett Wade. Great tool!
I would like seeing more begginers video. But, this is ok!!
chilly4360, i'm not quiet ready for this tool.i need more experience.
SR motor is not for carving with chessel. it will burn cos of high RPM
This looks like it could be a really useful video, but I had to turn it off because of the music, so irritating, destroys the video and experience
Please. No music!
That's a very old video. My newer ons are different. Thanks for the feedback
kill the music
The music takes your potentially constructive video to the gutter. Why try and oversell or enhance yourself..??.
Woodglut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
