Description
Now you can carve the fixed-point method, or with a flexible-shaft-either way with the same unit. Plus, you have a unique coolant/shield set-up that protects you from any coolant splash, but with no shields to interfere with a clear line of sight to the work piece as you carve. The design of our unique shield and coolant system makes this possible. Your line of sight passes over one adjustable clear plastic shield and under the other, leaving you with an unobstructed view as you work, yet protected from any splash and splatter. You control the coolant flow as well, allowing you to adjust the drip to an efficient minimum.
There is plenty of room to maneuver your work piece around the fixed-point arbor. The chuck accommodates accessory shanks, from 0-5/32”. The motor is ¼ HP with adjustable speeds from 500 – 7000 RPM and comes in either 115V or 230V for use outside the USA.
The Carver’s Choice easily converts to allow flexible-shaft carving. Just remove the arbor chuck (included with the unit) and attach a flexible-shaft which must have a 5/16” coupling. The Flexade Flex Shaft, (sold separately), allows you to use almost any of Foredom’s handpieces. We do not include a flexible shaft with the unit.
When you convert to the flexible-shaft method, you can move the Work Station unit out away from the motor, giving you plenty of room for movement of the flexible-shaft. The Work Station is completely self-contained, and can be used elsewhere in your shop.
The Work Station comes with a handy flex stem lamp, and coolant tank with adjustable valve. The Carver’s Choice unit is the suggestion of master carver Dick Friesen, so it works.
