I have several Foredom Handpieces and one of them always gets too hot to hold. I contacted Foredom and they said they no longer offered support for that model. Several other carvers said that overheating was an inherent problem with that model and that is why they discontinued it. I tried changing the bearings and made sure the shaft was well lubricated, but it still got too hot. I now have it at the back of my stack of handpieces and only use it for short term projects. I don't recall the model number and can't get out to my studio right now. I don't think it was a #30, but if the other suggestions don't work, change the bearings and contact Foredom.<br><br><br>Denny Bell<br>Check out my carvings at <www.cedarstump.us><br><br><br><br><br><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 14:37:08 -0800<br>From: shadow061@yahoo.com<br>To: woodcarver@carverscompanion.com<br>Subject: [Woodcarver] Question on Power carver<br><br>
