Notice to Readers– Since this manual was printed in 2003, we’ve made
changes to the Foredom product line. The most significant was the introduction
of our 1/6 HP Series SR motor at the end of 2005, which offered reversing capa-
bility and 33% more power than the motor that was first featured–the 1/8HP
Series S. That change, along with some other minor ones to accessory items, is
reflected in this digital version. If you see a bur in use for a particular project that
we no longer carry, you can be sure that we have an equivalent in our line. The
intent of the manual remains the same: it is an introduction to the world of
woodcarving using a 3-project, step-by-step tutorial approach.
