The Foredom Motor has three different speed settings: OFF – no rotation. FORWARD – clockwise shaft rotation as you work. It is the most commonly used setting. This is a tabletop version the SM motor with a built in dial control for the speed.The base rotates to make easier access to your carving. 

Right-handed people will get the most control in Forward. REVERSE – counterclockwise shaft rotation as you work.  If you point a powered handpiece toward your face as it runs in forward the accessory will appear to be running counter-clockwise.

Foredom flexible shaft machines are designed to operate in either direction, forward or reverse. The advantages of running the motor in the reverse direction may not be immediately apparent, but they are numerous. Perhaps the most significant advantage is that left-handed users will have better control when running the Foredom motor in the reverse direction. 

Other advantages include the fact that dust and debris will fly away from the workpiece in reverse, and that reversing the motor direction can extend the life of mounted abrasive points, buffs, brushes, sanding bands, and Typhoon® burs. Reverse rotation is also helpful for accomplishing symmetrical grinding and carving techniques, and for "backing out" stuck drill bits. In addition, reversing the motor direction makes it easier and faster to polish metals. When using a Foredom motor in the reverse direction, be sure to use a mandrel with a left-hand threaded arbor screw. 

When the handpiece/accessory is in use on a workpiece, the forward rotation direction is clockwise. Foredom motors are widely recognized for their quality, power, and performance. They are used in a variety of industries including woodworking, automotive, marine, aerospace, and jewelry making. Foredom also offers a wide range of Attachments and Accessories that fit onto the flexible shafts to enable users to perform an infinite number of tasks.
