Review on πŸ”§ Enhance Your Workbench with the Foredom 5200 Deluxe Kit: A comprehensive solution for precision craftsmanship by Shane Schobinger

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Still better than most copies

Looks like a real Foredom. The supplied accessories are, with a few exceptions such as e.g. B. 2 carbide cutters largely poor. After proper lubrication and adjustment of the shaft, the resulting vibrations disappeared or reappeared. RPMs have changed due to vibration so the flexible line has been moved to the side and is used as a backup. Not the quality and smoothness of the old Foredoms I used nearly half a century ago, but still better than overseas copies and I like the reversibility. Now I can reduce the amount of dust much better. The pedal control is powerful and works well, except it needs a few more feet of cable. The committee may also have thought of the rotating bowl, since the hole arrangement needs to be offset to accommodate tools of different sizes.

Pros
  • Power Tools
Cons
  • Not sure
