Great time saver and work with my wen

I just love this pedal. I make jewelry with my own hands and this is what makes using your rotary tool so convenient. I use it with a Wen rotary tool that I have hung next to my workbench and am very happy that it is compatible. It's made of durable plastic that looks pretty durable. The pedal has the right amount of tension that gives you the control you need. This is Foredom so I know the quality is great. The price was very good for a product of this quality. No more inconvenience of having…

Pros
  • For use with 115-VM.SR, M.SRB, M.SRH and M.SRBH engines

  • Not sure

Will not work with all AC motor tools (including some Dremel tools)

Some types of motor speed control circuits output or full speed with pedal control. This applies to the Dremel 4000 variable speed rotary tool. Once you set the speed on your Dremel 4000, this pedal only turns it on or off. There is no variable speed effect depending on how hard the pedal is depressed. My old 2 speed MultiPro Dremel 285 offers variable speed with this pedal when the 285 is set to "high speed" but when set to "low speed" this pedal can only turn the dremel on or off. . I think…

Pros
  • Reliable C.FCT-1 is Foredom's most popular foot speed controller
Cons
  • Newer model could have been selected

Indispensable for users of rotary tools with a flexible shaft.

I purchased this item as I am just getting started with power carving. I use a Dremel 300 with a flex shaft assembly. You plug the dremel/rotary into the foot pedal and the foot pedal into an outlet, set the dremel/rotary to the maximum setting and you're done. It's better than constantly reaching for it to turn off your Dremel. Works seamlessly with a variable speed Dremel/rotary tool; however, the Dremel tool/rotary tool must be set to the maximum value. Do not use it at anything other than…

Pros
  • CSA Listed
Cons
  • Slightly torn
