My grandfather passed a little over a year ago but in his workshop, I found 3 old Foredom’s and 7 small boxes of burrs. Just tested them out and all 3 still work like champs despite being 50+ years old. Glad to know a little more about them and can’t wait to put them to use

Just found a Foredom for $20, all kinds of attachments included, at an estate sale. Impressed with the quality and power of the tool.

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!

[WoodsleeSummercraftwoodturning]

I just bought one of these, looking forward to using it

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.

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!

[JohnCourts]

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.

I am a wood artist and I have this same tool, I use it for details and work with precision. Really recommended!

[garyvalencia]

Thanks for your information. I got this machine and I'm so happy to use it for carving.

[BettyKCreations_Nashville]

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!

[hayleymcdonald]

Looking at getting a foredom i have a dremel so am i best to get a 6mm foredom

[gustavcarlsson]

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👍

[focusvie]

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 !!

[shanesplanetshane]

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.

[clivemilner]

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.

[StephenBe]

Can I use pattern bits with this tool?

[cosmicaudio]

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

[OtterLakeFlutes]

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.

[its_mizla]

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

[tavias.]

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.
