Foredom H.20

This drill is a staple for Our bench. It’s a very versatile drill for jewelers. It has lots of speed which is great for the many bits that we use. Fired one has a great name and reputation in the industry plus if u have questions a great customer service dept as well

My previous handpiece started to get some wobble so I needed to upgrade. I purchased this with jewelry making in mind. I needed something that would use polishing buffs strongly and also had enough precision for diamond setting burs. I am glad to say this was perfect. Some people say there are issues where the handpiece stops clamping down the bur properly, but there is an easy fix to replace the collet if that ever happens. There is very little wobble in the handpiece and the ease of fast swapping bits is so refreshing after having to unscrew my previous one.

It is a Foredom H.20 handpiece, enough said. Beware of knockoffs, if you invest in a Foredom pendant motor you won’t be disappointed in buying foredom hand pieces. This was a genuine handpiece and came well packaged and I am happy with it.

Handpiece was not in plastic packaging. Instructions,alen wrench, and cardboard square were in sealed plastic box…NO TOOL!

I had a Foredom H.30 handpiece, and having to use a chuck key each time I changed out a disc was, to say the least, annoying. When I started using radial bristle discs for polishing, I knew that I had to get an H.20 so I finally pulled the trigger. Heaven! This takes no time at all to change a disc (quick change, for sure). It fits in my hand much better than the fatter H.30, and has really increased my speed in terms of finishing pieces. The H.30 has its strengths, but for day-to-day use, the H.20 is The.Best.Ever!

The company doesn't include a collet to allow for the standard non-specialized jewelers sized shaft meaning you won't be able to use this with 99% of the bits you already own. (Unless you only use this for jewelers bits)

I have had an h30 forever which is also a great handpiece, but when you are polishing and changing a lot of bits, the quick change really helps speed things up. It also is a little bit smaller and and the narrower tip lets you see a bit better at times. Love it.

Mine lasted about 6 months then I went to use it one day the whole thing spun viciously out of my and not sure what happens to it, but it got stuck and the whole handpiece rotates instead of the shaft that inside. I tried to find videos and support on how to take it apart and fix it but foredom [surprisingly] doesn’t have any nor has anyone made one, you can only find videos on how to fix the Italian faros so that’s all I had to go off of. I tried and failed miserably couldn’t even get the housing off MAJOR dead end I reached out to foredom and after pleading that someone help me fix this a sales rep reached out telling me to ship it back to their HQ for repair but he warned me the wait times are very long for repairs. So basically if I wanted to get back to work THIS YEAR I inevitably have to buy a new handpiece. You can bet I’ll most likely NEVER be buying over priced Chinese trash that has very little support and warranty’s behind them and you shouldn’t either NOT WORTH IT. Take the $90 and invest it towards a $150-$200 Italian [faro] or Swiss [technique] HC hand pieces save yourself the headache and the money in the long run. I’m convinced foredom Chinese handpiece are TRASH !
