The Mafell FM 1000 is a “best in class” milling motor. Developed and manufactured in Germany, the high-quality standard allows it to achieve a runout of 0.01mm or less.
The reason for this low runout lies in the fact that the Mafell FM 1000 armature and spindle are manufactured from a single piece of metal, then balanced. This design also allows it to be one of the quietest spindles around, with a noise level less than 71dB (A).
Each FM 1000 is tested under lab conditions and then ‘broken in’ to maximise its service life. The Mafell FM 1000 is equipped with manual speed adjustment, soft start, and overload protection, and with a 43mm clamping diameter, it is the perfect companion to the Original WorkBee Z1+.

Very quiet and powerful enough for my purposes. it looks and feels like a quality piece of equipment. I am looking forward to putting it through it’s paces!

Only run for a few hours but so far seems a good product. bit changing is easy, and speed control is easy to change, with an attached table of speeds for each position. my main reason for buying this was noise. at a rating of about 70 decibels it is reasonably quiet, and means i can use it without ear defenders if necessary.
