Default Foredom H50C handpiece
Hello all. New to all of this, so here is my first post...lol...Just got a Foredom H50C handpiece to start power carving. It appears as though I have to put too much pressure to start the chisel, is this normal or just cause it's new? Any info, help or suggestion greatly appreciated. Thanks
