The old "carbon pile" controller for my Foredom died. I found this one that was listed as compatible with my motor series (I believe it'll work with any of the AC/DC brushed motors, which is pretty much all of them - check the compatibility list to be sure). It arrived quickly and works great. I assume it's using a modern electronic control circuit and because those are much more efficient at lower speeds, the Foredom has better power and smoothness of control at lower speeds. It also seems to have gained a bit in top speed. I'm sure that the old controller was no longer supplying all the current the motor could handle. It's a Foredom brand with a warrantee, and while it's not all steel like the old one, it seems well made. The cords _are_ just a bit shorter than the originals, so I've needed to do a bit of rearranging to get everything connected. Even if your older carbon pile controller is still working, the improvement in performance from the FCT-1 may be worth upgrading, and certainly it's the way to go for replacing one that failed.

Bought this to replace a low quality foot pedal that came with a flex shaft tool. It is much better quality. Has good texture on the pedal so the foot wont slide off as easy. The plastic is a little slippery but doesn't affect it's use. I may add anti-skid tape but it isn't really necessary. The cords have plenty of length.

Replaces a 60 year old Foredom which disappeared with a loud bang and a sheet of flame . Operates very smoothly and is very stable on the floor with it's larger base . Works well with my watchmakers lathes and Dremel tools I am very glad I got it .

I bought this on the recommendation of someone who knows a lot more than I do. The price is reasonable and it has been working very reliably so far. My only regret is not buying it sooner because it makes my work much easier now.

After talking to Foredom they told me to get this pedal for my flexshaft motor. My motor is over 30 years old and out of production. This pedal works great on it.
