Foredom 44T Handpiece Foredom Flexible Shaft Grinders - H.44T

Very disappointing. The runout is far worse than other handpieces I have used, creating excessively chattered cuts. I tried multiple carbide burs known to be straight and true but had the same issue with all three collet sizes. I was expecting better precision/tolerances from foredom. The tool seems sturdy and well built but does not perform where it counts. I discovered Foredom only publishes tolerances for the H.25 handpiece but of course is significantly more $. All Foredom handpieces are made to industrial standards – H.25 has even tighter tolerances. Run-out is 0.003″ measured 3/4″ out from end of chuck or collet.

Arrived quickly, works as advertised

I had used a friends Foredom with this hand piece. He has gotten many years of services from.it and it is still working like day one. The size and ease of use make this a must have for flexible shaft carvers. it is smooth enough for fine detail but put in a carbide tip and it hogs the wood off making removing large amounts of material easy and quick.

great handpiece - using it on a MasterCarver flexshaft machine

Because of its maximum 1/4 inch collet size, the 44T allows one to use pa wider range of mounted grinding and sanding points, uncluding smaller die grinder points. The keyed chuck in the Number 30 hand piece tops out at 1/8 inch. I use both.

Allowed my to use 1/4 shaft tools with my HF rotary tool. That said, the HF shaft fits but not super tight like your hope for. Its looser than youd expect. You can use it as is or do as I did and use a fine metal shim to have it fit perfectly. This is just one of the Foredom parts youll need to improve the HF rotary tool. The other, which makes all the difference is the Foredom Foot pedal. Then its wow! Nice tool. And when youre ready to upgrade to Foredom you have those two parts.

Fits my Harbor Freight engraver/grinder and makes working on my projects so much easier.

I got this handpiece to be able to use 1/4 shafted accessories, and it hasnt disappointed.

Very well made! Works great! Works with my Chicago Harbor Freight flex shaft with no mods needed. Everything was in package, no parts missing. Arrived fast WOW! Yes, I would make this purchase again.

You cant have too many of these, this makes 10. When porting a head and you have one for each cutter/attachment it goes allot faster. The quality of these is amazing,
