Default Re: high speed carving
Gesswein 30,000 RPM, heavy duty handpiece. Expensive, but the most reliable I've found. It works well with heavy duty wood and material removal, does not heat up. I've been using it a lot in the last two years. Optima, Foredom, micro motors I've found are good for fine detail work, and light wood removal. The Foredom flex shaft is the best for Roughing out. Only my opinion !!
