ForedomP-DP30 Drill Press Jewelry Making Flex Shaft Handpiece Tool

One of the biggest challenges in micro drilling is getting your head and your loupe/magnification close-up to the work with a precise drill. This product addresses that problem exceptionally well. I didn't expect this product to be as good as it is given it's lower price but instead it hits--on-all-cylinders-- precision, design, and price. The spring handle tension is perfect, depth adjustment a great addition, and the floating and fixed table excellent approaches. The mount for the handpiece is excellent, it fit my h.30 perfectly. The numbers/ruler on the depth adjustment is paper and the only item that isn't perfection but it's also not needed for many folks as we would manually adjust the depth by freehand aka finding a low point on the work and setting there. As a freehand micro drilling tool this is a great addition for folks already owning a foredom setup and compatible handpiece.

Nuff said. Foredom is still making high quality precision tools and this is another in a long line. Solid, well made, and does exactly what it’s supposed to…… Hey, it’s a Foredom!

You really can’t go wrong with Foredom. I’m a goldsmith, and Foredom tools are a must-have. I love Foredom for providing so many ways to convert your flex shaft into other tools and uses. For a goldsmith, the flex shaft and the size of the tools such as this drill press and their sanding belt attachment are absolutely perfect for what I do. They’re well-made, less expensive than buying a separate entire drill press or sanding belt motor, and they’re really not that big so they save space, which is really essential on a crowded jeweler’s bench.

My wife and I make gemstones jewelry and wanted a practical way to drill the stones. This is better than the lapidary drill press we had been using. The only thing I’d make different is the bare metal of the base. It would be okay in a jewelry shop, but in a lapidary with water..... I’m going to prep and paint it ASAP.

I have a off brand #30 Grobet and it fit in right. Works okay for now. I mainly bought it for like #79 drill bits that breaks very easy use the handpiece manually. Have not used a very small bit to know if it will work out better or not

Works well on smaller jobs with my foredom h30 hand piece with no trouble. The only downside is that the depth gauge isn't the best. Locks on tight to the handpiece

Great product. Great shipping! Thanks!

It is very smooth.
