INFORMATION

REVIEWS

Product Information:

Ideal for detailing and intricate carving, this powerful high-torque hand piece features variable speed, so you can always be operating at the optimum speed required by your bit or type of stock. Because the motor is built into the hand piece, there is no flexible shaft to restrict your movements, and you can carve at any angle without worrying about damaging a flexible shaft. The lightweight body and cord allow you to carve longer, more comfortably, and with greater accuracy. At only 6-1/4" long and 1" diameter, it fits comfortably in the hand and is light enough to be held like a pencil. Variable speed: 3,000 to 23,000 RPM. Includes 1/8" and 3/32" collets.

2/20/2013 5.0 A Hidden Treasure By Professional Rookie from The Plains of Texas About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer Pros Lightweight Strong Versatile Works Effectively Cons Needs a case Best Uses Small Projects Comments about High Torque Carver/Engraver : Having used the flex shafts for years, I was surprised at how comfortable the mini motor carver was to use. I regret not getting one years ago, I liked it enough that I ordered a second unit so I don't have to switch burrs as often. It is not for "hogging" wood carving jobs, but it is a great fine detail carver. Runs super quiet, almost too quiet, you really need to make sure you turn it off before sitting it down. I really like the lack of vibration when it is running. A real winner, even recommended it to a friend that carves.

I use it all the time for details on my small carvings and it is still going strong. I do not use it for final details, but it is great for everything in between roughing out a design and final. I am going to get a backup soon, just in case, because I do not want to spend any time at all without this thing.
