Foredom Foot Control

I'm using this with an HFC 16mm film rewinder (Bodine universal motor); obviously not what it was intended for. But it works perfectly in this application, allows me to ramp up and down the motor speed slowly, and stays cool after rewinding multiple reels. I'm glad I didn't buy the knock-off version of this.

I purchased this as a controller for a blow dryer used as an art tool with alcohol ink. The amperage of the dryer would be too high for this if I used it on high heat, but on low heat or cool, it is great--gives me fine control of how hard the air blows on the paper. It might feel a bit stiffer than sewing machine foot pedals, but I think it's sized for a man's foot anyway. This solves a problem that the blow dryer makers and craft embossing tool makers don't address. I find myself wondering what other uses I might find for this. Just have to watch out for the amperage.It is very sturdily made, as are the cords. If I could make a change to it, I might give it long cords for power input AND output. It only has a long cord for the input. Your gadget will need to have a cord that can reach down to it.

Bought this on recommendations of Lorrie of Artfully Abstract by Lorrie on YouTube. It's a game changer. I have so much more control over the airflow and make much less mess. Thanks Lorrie!

Got me back to work

I had high hopes for this actually working. I plugged in my Dremel tool and I had to press the pedal almost all the way down before the Dremel started. I was expecting it to start the tool and gradually increase the speed over the full travel of the pedal but that's not what happened. It went from low speed to high speed within just a few millimeters of movement of the pedal. If I held the pedal in my hands I could just barely get some intermediate speed out of the tool.Update: I decided to get a single speed Dremel tool (model 100) and I tried this foot control with it. I had nearly the same results as with the model 200. I hooked up my oscilloscope to the output and watched it. I believe the foot pedal control is mostly doing what it's supposed to. But even the single speed Dremel tool apparently has some circuitry besides just the motor and this circuitry is interfering with the expected operation.Update 2: After repairing my Ryobi rotary tool, I tried that with this foot control. Finally, success! I had to have the speed dial turned up to the max on the Ryobi tool but then the foot control worked as I expected it to. So it seems that Dremel tools have some sort of control circuitry inside that makes it pretty much impossible to use an external speed control like this foot pedal. So I bumped my rating up to 4 stars.

Dad needed to replace worn out foot control for jewelry work bench and it works perfect!

Wanted variable speed pedal.this is not variable speed. Recently ordered another pedal that says it is variable speed again is not variable speed pedal

I bought this to help control the airflow from a blower I use in my artwork. The blower is too powerful, but with this foot pedal, I can now control the flow of the air from the blower to get the looks I am after in my artwork. I’m sure it can also be used for many other things, too!

Pedal que funciona adecuadamente para controlar la velocidad a que gira el motor Foredom. Altamente recomendado

I’m in Canada, the pedal arrived but is not as advertised. The speed control for my Dremel 4000 doesn’t work as it said it would. It only turns on and off with the pedal, IT DID NOT CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE TOTARY TOOL. I did read all the reviews before I Bought it and it was mixed about this issue. I took the chance anyways, and now I am disappointed in that decision.

La experiencia de usar la marca anteriormente.

Muy buen precio, recomiendo.
