Foredom H.15D Hammer Handpiece

The Foredom H.15D is a specialized hammer handpiece for flex-shaft systems used mainly by jewelers for stone setting, texturing, and metal forming. Unlike most flex-shaft handpieces that rotate, this model uses a reciprocating hammer action where the tip moves in and out about 1/32 inch, creating controlled impacts on the metal.

Key Features

• Hammering (reciprocating) action instead of rotary motion

• 1/32" stroke for precise impact work

• Adjustable hammer force using the knurled adjustment ring

• Duplex spring design for improved flexibility and maneuverability

• Compatible with Foredom flex-shaft motors (SR, TX, etc.)

Typical Uses

Jewelers use the H.15D for tasks that require controlled impact rather than spinning tools:

• Stone setting (prongs, bezel, pavé)

• Texturing metal surfaces

• Bright-cut decorative effects

• Light riveting and metal forming

• Marking or stippling patterns in metal

Operating Specs

• Recommended speed: 0–5,000 RPM

• Impact stroke: ~1/32"

• Impact strength adjustable from light to heavy

Most jewelers who buy the H.15D also purchase these together:

• Foredom SR flex-shaft motor

• AK101 anvil point set

• pavé hammer tips

• flex-shaft motor hanger
