Foredom K 5240 K 5240 Woodcarving Review

It does the job well but to be honest I prefer the cheaper Dremel tool for the job simply because I change bits quite often when carving. Dremel bits are a lot easier to change and I don't need two separate tools to do it. Also, the flex bar on the foredom breaks easily if I twist it too hard while carving. I didn't have this problem with Dremel.

I use it with a MicroFence base for furniture liners. Wood, Argentinium Wire, Abalone, etc. Consider guitar inlays and this is the instrument you need. The new models are better than the old ones,

I work with inlays from time to time and use many different approaches from knives and hand chisels to a Dremel at the base of a router.

I've tried 2 Dremel tools over the last few years and finally learned something about rotary tools. As a hobby blacksmith and farrier, I use it for metalworking. as a tree. However, this kit came with the grip I wanted and was cheaper than buying individual parts. While it doesn't deliver the same high top speed as a Dremel, I've found that with the torque this motor can provide, you generally don't need the extra speed to get the job done. I don't want to withhold anything from a Dremel…

I've kept debating whether I should buy this one or stick with buying a Dremel (again). I had a Dremel a few months ago, used it briefly, then took it back to the big store (orange) because it wasn't powerful enough for my project/task. Fast forward a few months and then I'm in a situation where I need a different rotation tool. I searched for "best dremel/rotary tool" and a forum post mentioned Foredom.
