Variable-Speed Straight-Shaft Polishing Motor - 1/2HP, 5/8"

This 1/2, HP motor features a 5/8, inch straight shaft and a variable speed controller for ultimate flexibility at the bench. It allows the jeweler to slow the rotation down for delicate stone-set pieces or speed it up for aggressive 100, percent metal removal. The variable speed functionality is critical for working with a wide range of materials, from soft waxes to hard platinum alloys. This motor is a versatile addition to any studio that handles a mix of custom fabrication and high-end repair work.
