Build Your Own Foredom Motor Kit

By far your best value is to purchase one of Foredom's prepackaged flexible shaft motor kits, which includes the motor, control, at least one handpiece, useful burs and accessories, and more...

Tutorial: Build Your Own Foredom
There are several options in choosing a Foredom motor unit.  These various options make many combinations of available units.  Use this tutorial to sort through these options step-by-step to assist you in choosing the right machine for the right job.

At the end of this tutorial, we will direct you to the product on our catalog that matches your criteria. 

 
To give you an overview, here are the basic options.  You must choose between Foredom's SR, TX, and LX series motors.  H-versions (Heavy Duty) are available within each of these motor types, which include a longer heavy duty flexible shaft, but limit your choices of handpieces (more later...).  Each of these units come either hanging (most popular) or bench mount.  Finally, there are four options for speed controls for each of these units.  As you go through this tutorial, each of these options will be detailed more fully.
