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

I wanted a flexshaft handpiece that I could use to mount 1/4 tools and this is it. Not many of these handpieces will hold 1/4 shafts which really come in handy when doing power carving. I just had to modify the shaft and mounting ring on my Chicago Electric unit. Took a little doing but it works well. Eventually I plan to use it on either a Foredom or Mastercarver flexshaft system, though it might be handy to have it available just for detail sanding on the Chicago Electric. Later note: I see that some responses have noted that no modifications were necessary for the shaft to fit with a Harbor Freight tool. For some reason the shaft would not fit as is on mine. Either way this is an excellent hand piece. I continue to use this on the Harbor Freight tool on nearly a daily basis.

This sturdy little work horse has been put through hell and back. Its cut and carved hundreds of hours and Ive yet to have a single problem with it. Burned up through an entire tx serries motor and its still as good as new.

Youll find out why it costs so much once you take it out of the box.

The Foredom 44T Handpiece performed exactly as advertised. It is easy to use and fits all my Kutzall burrs.

Used for a few days. As with other Foredom tools Ive used, this seems to be top quality, professional tool.

Very good handpiece with three different bushings for the common shaft sizes up to a quarter of an inch. Good ergonomics and fits my large hands very well. I like the quick disconnect feature it allows you to change handpieces very quickly.

Easy to attach.

Perfect

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.

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