End mills:
Carbide micro-end mills are essential for cutting a clean channel. It is advisable to purchase the end mills in pairs. You won't want to be caught without a back up. I stock the following sizes (I recommend using end mills that are 0.10mm smaller than your purfling):
1.00mm .040" $29/pair
1.10mm .043" $29/pair
1.20mm .047" $29/pair
1.30mm .051" $29/pair
1.40mm .055" $29/pair
1.50mm .059" $29/pair
1.59mm .062" (1/16") $34/pair
1.97mm .062" (1/16") $34/pair
2.39mm .094" (3/32") $34/pair
2.77mm .109" (7/64") $34/pair
1/8" ball end mill for setting the depth of the recurve after the purfling is in (spare not necessary). $18 each
Motors:
The preferred motor is the Foredom® M.SR-SCT 1/6 hp Series SR hanging motor with the metal foot pedal. $242
Where 220V is standard, the preferred motor is the M.SR-FCT-2CE 1/6 hp 230V which comes with a heavy duty plastic foot control, and the correct plug for your location. $243
Handpiece:
The H.44T is the standard 1"diameter handpiece which comes with the size collet needed for the endmills plus 2 others $58.50
Hanger:
The MAMH-2 hanger- This hanger has the advantage of being able to be wall mounted or attached to the bench. I include with the tool information to determine the optimal height above the workbench. Go to the Foredom site to see other options. $59
Other styles are available.
There is an additional shipping cost for all items.
