Foredom SR Hang-Up Motor with Eric Gorges Signature Series Bur Kit
A complete power carving setup built around the Foredom SR hang-up motor and featuring the Eric Gorges Signature Series Spoon Carving Bur Kit.
This package combines Foredom’s dependable flexible shaft system with two carefully selected Typhoon burs based on the shaping techniques Eric uses in his own spoon carving work.
The Foredom SR motor provides dependable power, while the H.44T handpiece, flexible shaft, and foot speed control offer the control and flexibility needed for a variety of carving applications.
Foot Speed Control: Control When You Need It
This package features a foot speed control, allowing the operator to adjust motor speed instantly while working. Rather than stopping to reach for a dial, speed can be increased or decreased with a simple adjustment of the foot while keeping both hands on the project.
Different carving operations call for different speeds. Immediate speed control makes it easy to slow down for detailed work or increase speed when removing material. This versatility makes the flexible shaft system especially practical for carving and shaping.
Eric Gorges Signature Series Bur Kit
At the heart of this package is the Eric Gorges Signature Series Bur Kit, featuring two Foredom Typhoon fine-cut burrs: a 1” sphere and a 1/2” x 1-1/2” ball nose.
These are the two profiles Eric reaches for most often when carving spoons. Their cutting geometry makes quick work of shaping concave surfaces while leaving a smoother finish that requires less sanding.
Hang-Up or Bench Motor?
This package features the SR hang-up motor, designed to mount above the workbench using a suitable stand or hook. Suspending the motor keeps the benchtop clear and provides flexibility as the operator moves around the work.
Prefer a motor that sits directly on the workbench? See the K.8332-EG bench motor version.
Beyond Spoon Carving
While selected with spoon carving in mind, these two burs are useful for much more. Their profiles are well suited for shaping bowls, kuksas, chair seats, decoy hollows, relief panels, and virtually any project involving concave surfaces.
