The MADCH-1 dust hood -yes- The MAFH25 filter hood -no- Thank you so much for reaching out to us. Please call 800-272-2885 or email us at: customerservice@blackstoneind.com​ for help. -Team Foredom

There are 3 types of filters for the MAFH25Filter Hood. They each have a different MERV rating. The highest MERV rating is 15. The polyester filter has a rating of 8 MERV which traps larger particulates 70% - 85% 3.0 - 10 microns. It is great for buffing or as a pre-filter in front of one of the other types to extend their life. The second filter is the polyester/charcoal filter with a MERV rating of 13. It catches 90% particulates 3.0 - 10 microns and 75% of particulates 0.3 - 1.0 microns. It is a great filter used alone or with one of the other filters as a pre-filter. The third type of filter is the pleated filter with a MERV rating of 14. It catches 95% particulates 3.0 - 10 microns and 85% of particulates 0.3 - 1.0 microns. Thank you for reaching out to us!

Yes! Thank you for inquiring!

Thanks for reaching out. Shafting gets hot from bending it too tightly or not lubricating it every 50 hours of use. Please do not apply too much grease either. See videos on shaft lubrication on our channel. Have a great day!

We do not have a video yet on replacing the K.1040 collet. We will put it on our video "To Do" list. Thanks so much!

The handpiece attaches to the sheath not the shaft. The proper way to adjust the shaft and sheath is to slide the inner shaft coupling up completely on the motor shaft and tighten the set screw on the shaft flat. Then thread on the motor connector all the way, snugly. Next, insert the key tip end into the plain end of the sheath and slide the sheath up over the shaft. This is after the shaft has been lubricated with our shaft grease MS10006 which is a high-temperature lithium grease. Insert the plain end of the sheath into the motor connector until only 3/4" of the shaft tip extends out the bottom. Tighten the motor connector set screw. The handpiece catch ball and C spring clip snaps on into the grooved end of the sheath. Then run the unit with no handpiece attached at high speed for 15 to 20 minutes with the shafting hanging down so that the grease is redistributed and any excess comes out the bottom. Wipe off the excess grease and attach the handpiece. Always hang the handpiece up or remove it when done so grease does not migrate into the handpiece which will make it run hot.

This is our only size. Thank you for reaching out. If you have any other questions, please contact customer service at 800-272-2885 or email us at: customerservice@blackstoneind.com​ for help.

Yes... Melissa is awesome!

Gravers require specific exacting angles and must be very sharp. Most manufacturers have special jigs to hold the graver at those angle when being sharpened. Unfortunately, Foredom does not have any longer such a tool. The bench lathe has many tool options which could sharpen other tools but there is no special jig that can be calibrated to specific angle and hold the graver while being sharpened. If the user does not care about these angles and just wants to hone down a graver or tool by hand then, yes, there are accessories. Please call 800-272-2885 or email Mike Zagielski at: customerservice@blackstoneind.com​ Thank you.

@@ForedomElectricCo I am only asking about shaping a new graver to give it a spine, not sharpening it. Usually would be a bench grinder job. What accessories would I use for grinding down steel?

You can use our A-10074 Ceramcut Blue 120 grit grinding wheel on our A-WM-6 wheel mandrel. See links below: foredom.pulse.ly/u1nmb4pddi foredom.pulse.ly/eqdnftahtr

Our bench lathe is not a wet carving machine as it stands. However one of our dealer Diamond Pacific Lapidary Supply makes it into a wet carver. Thank you, Mike Z.

Thank you so much for reaching out to us about our HRT series. A lot of information is on edgefinisher.pulse.ly/ox3qxcoymqPlease call 800-272-2885 and ask for Mike Milici for prices or email us at: customerservice@blackstoneind.com​. Have a great day!

Hello, Can you take a picture and send it to Mike Z here at Foredom? mzagielski@blackstoneind.com He is the expert and can help you identify. Thank you!

›The K.1050 micro motor is perfect for dental laboratory tasks, but not on people. (There is not a tool made by Foredom or Handler that can be used directly on people.) Thank you for reaching out!

We're so sorry, but we do not have a video on repairing the H.18 or H.18D. Please call customer service and ask for Mike Zegelski at 800-272-2885 if you need help with servicing your H.18. Thank you for contacting us.

Well first of all they are two very different hammer handpieces and two different motors that power them. The LX motor has 30 oz.-in. of torque at its designated rating of 0.11 horsepower at peak efficiency at 3,742 rpm under load. It runs the H.15 hammer handpiece. The K.1050 micro motor brushless rotary handpiece is rated at 10 oz.-in torque. Torque is a measure of rotary force we have no measurements of stroke impact for our hammer handpieces. However I feel that the H.MH110 micro motor hammer handpiece has as much if not slightly more power as a hammer handpiece.

There could be a number of issues. First is the blade on correctly to cut in the forward direction? What would happen if the put the old blade back on? Is the motor in the forward direction? You should call me, Mike Zegelski 800-272-2885

Thank you.

Thanks for the comment on safety!

This problem could be a couple of things. Did you blow out the motor while you had the motor brushes (spring things) removed? What model motor is it and what is the serial number? It could be in the speed control. What model is it? You can call me at the customer service line at: 800-272-2885 and ask for me...Mike Z for more help.

thanks I'll look all that up and give you a call@@ForedomElectricCo

The H.44T handpiece can be fixed by twisting off the black C clip catch spring that holds the catch ball on at the bottom of the handpiece and gently squeezing it a little to reduce the gap opening just a little. This will make it hold the catch ball tighter into the sheath groove. Just be careful not to loose the catch ball while doing this. If you need more help, call customer service at 800-272-2885. - Mike Z

Yes, you can use the H.15 hammer handpiece with our SR motor. However, you must not go faster than 1/4 speed or about 5,000rpm. Use the foot pedal like you are driving in a school zone.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us. The micro motor handpieces with the exception of the K.1030 handpiece H.MH-130 are all heavier than the flexible shaft handpieces. However, the micro motor handpieces are not much heavier and due to the handpiece cord set are much more maneuverable and easier to position and hold. Hope that helps!

Glad this video helped!

Please read and follow the owner's manual precisely for changing collets. You can also go to our Resources area on the website and check out the owner's manuals and part diagrams and videos. We always recommend to customers that they should get the handpiece with a 1/8" collet installed and use collet adapters so they do not have to change collets or open up the handpiece. However, there are many users that only use 2.35, (3/32") shank burs so they can disregard my advise. Yoy should always have a shank in the collet and NEVER close the collet without a shank in it. Thank you, Mike Z.
