Product Description

Foredom TX5400 Woodcarving Kit

Foredom's TX series feature a powerful 1/3 HP permanent magnet DC motor. These ball bearing models utilize advanced rare earth magnets (in place of the wire wound fields in the SR motors) that deliver full field strength at all loads and speeds 500 to 15,000 rpm. Foredom's permanent magnet motors require the use of a C.TXR, C.SXR, or C.EMX speed control.

TX motor runs only in forward rotation.

Components:
1. Series TX Motor:
 
Foredoms most powerful flex shaft machines with 1/3HP. They have permanent magnet DC motors that feature the latest in flex shaft technology. These ball bearing models utilize advanced rare earth magnets (in place of the wound fields in our universal type Series SR motors) that deliver more torque at the low end and throughout the entire speed range of 500 to 15,000 RPM. No other flex shaft gives you greater control of the cutting tool, drill, or bur under any load.
It comes equipped with a motor bale for hanging, and our standard 39" long key-tip inner shaft and outer sheath for connecting to any of Foredoms interchangeable handpieces.

Foredoms permanent magnet motors require the use of a C.TXR, C.SXR, or C.EMX speed control. Damage will result if the motor is connected to any other speed control.

2. C.SXR Speed Control: 
The C.SXR looks the same as our standard foot operated control but it has special electronics that converts AC current from an electrical outlet to DC current, the type required by Series TX motors. This control also has a different style plug that is made to fit the motor's shielded-type plug. The C.SXR offers the same electronics and smooth control as the C.TXR but in a much heavier, cast iron housing. The added weight eliminates any unexpected movement of the control along the floor. The bottom surface of the speed control is covered with non-skid material. CSA listed. 7" long, 5" wide, 2-1/2" high,

3. H.44T Handpiece:  This collet style handpiece is popular among woodcarvers as it accommodates larger accessories with shank diameters up to 1/4". It comes with 3/32", 1/8" and 1/4" collets. The tapered design allows for close and safe work. The H.44T is a member of the Foredom system of interchangeable handpieces.
