    Foredom is not the only brand of pendant motors with high torque low
    speed. I am particularly happy with the Foredoms I have at the
    moment ( the new TX 300 for example is dandy), but there are a number
    of other manufacturers with as good or better warranties for near
    identical products, Pfingst in New Jersey, Buffalo Dental, NY, and
    other proprietary motors shouldn't be overlooked for a brand name
    that has limitations with easch model..what you do need to pay
    attention to with any pendant motor is how will you connect it to
    your bench, and what, or how many other foot pedal operated machines
    have you got to connect to a power source- in which case you may need
    to purchse a central controlling port/outlet.. (120-150 bucks) also
    different Foredom motors have different handpiece limitations so if
    you dream of using a hammer handpiece or adding a quick change one,
    then check before you buy whether the Foredom you are looking at can
    accept your eventual purchase.. 

    That said, if you have a choice the GRSs micromotor and other
    micromotors would be my choice if i had deep pockets.. for starting
    out though I believe i would recommend the pendant types for the
    sher availability of compatible things that can be used with
    them..another possibility to add flexibility to your system is to
    purchase a becnh mount for the pendant motor allowing hands-free
    operation. A wall mounted swing arm ( as is used for plants) is an
    alternative to a floor standing crane as seen in a doctor's or dental
    office and moves it out of the way when not in use..check out some
    different suply sources and do the research, don't just settle for a
    brand because it's a brand-
