WTB: Foredom Grinder - Advice on model

Post by Grainer »

Hi All,


I am looking at getting a Foredom Grinder from the US. My Brother in law is coming over in November and I can get it here for free. Wondering if I can get some suggestions on the model I should get from this website.

Got $350 of Visa vouchers to contribute to this now.. since no help..just going to take a wild punt that this is the one of choice! Thought the square flex drive heavy duty model would be better.

Rather high end indeed. I get away with a an OZITO rotary tool with aftermarket cutters and a Bosch die grinder I purchased second hand on ebay for $50

Here's a couple that include most of the Foredom features at half the price or less.
Cutters are readily available over the internet at very cheap prices for quality.
