Foredom Bench Lathe M.BL

• High-torque 1/6 HP permanent magnet motor — steady and smooth under load.

• Variable speed control (500–7,000 RPM) for delicate or intensive polishing work.

• 230V / 125W continuous rating for dependable daily use.

• Compact size: 130mm high × 330mm between spindles.

• Precision tapered spindles (A-TM-5 & A-TM-6) to hold buffs and mops up to 4″ diameter.

• Solid cast-iron base with suction feet — sits firmly on your bench.

• CE and CSA certified.

Everything about the M.BL feels well-balanced and durable — exactly what you’d expect from Foredom, one of the most trusted names in polishing and finishing tools.

This bench lathe is ideal for use with a wide range of polishing mops, radial discs, and bristle brushes. Many jewellers now prefer 3M radial discs for their ability to reach into fine details without over-cutting metal.

The M.BL comfortably handles larger radial discs when used with care, giving you even more versatility in your polishing setup.
If you’re new to radial discs or want tips on getting the best results, we’ve written a detailed guide here:

• 3M Radial Discs / Wheels – for precision cleaning and polishing.

• Bristle Wheels – great for tight spaces and fine details.

• 3″ Mops – the perfect size for the M.BL’s spindles.

• Foredom Filter Hood (MAFH25-21) or Dust Collector Hood (MADCH-1) – keeps your workspace clean and captures valuable lemel for reclaiming.

Many jewellers pair the M.BL with the Foredom Filter Hood for a neat, compact polishing station that’s perfect for both studio and home use.

This little lathe has earned its reputation as a workshop essential. It’s small enough to fit on a crowded bench, yet powerful enough to polish everything from fine silver earrings to chunky bangles.

The variable speed gives you total control — slow for gentle polishing or faster for cutting compounds and heavier mops.
It’s also popular in dental and model-making workshops, where precision and smooth running are just as important.

If you’re setting up a home jewellery studio, the M.BL is an excellent choice — quieter, cleaner, and far more compact than a full-size polishing motor, while still giving a professional finish.
