FLEX-SHAFT
Convert your lathe, drill press or electric drill into a flex-shaft
machine. For best performance, motor speed should operate
at 3500 RPM or higher, and ONLY in a forward direction. Any
Foredom Quick Change Handpiece can be attached. The 30"
Flexade
®
comes with motor coupling. For current models of Fore-
dom's

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 sys-
tem 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 splat-
ter. You control the coolant flow as well, allowing
you to adjust the drip to an efficient minimum.
Not only that, you have plenty of room to maneu-
ver your work piece around the fixed-point arbor.
The chuck accommodates accessory shanks from

. The motor is

with adjustable speeds
form 500-7000 RPM and comes in either 115 Volt
or in 230 Volt for use outside the USA.
The Carver's Choice easily converts to allow flex-
ible-shaft carving. Just remove the arbor chuck
(included with the unit) and attach a flexible-shaft-
which must have a
5

"
coupling. The Flexade
®
sold
below allows you to use almost any of Foredoms's
handpieces (sold on page 27). 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 com-
pletely self-contained, and can be used elsewhere in
your shop.
Work Station comes with handy flex-lamp, and
coolant tank with adjustable valve.
The Carver's Choice unit is the suggestion of master
carver Dick Friesen, so it works.
