About Foredom MALC15 Lighted Work Chamber – Universal Voltage
A clearer view of small, detailed work
The Foredom MALC15 Lighted Work Chamber brings illumination, magnification and debris control together at your bench. Its semi-enclosed workspace is designed for grinding, sanding, polishing and drilling small pieces used in jewelry making, carving, fabrication and dental lab work. Connect it to a separate dust collector and compressed air supply to help move debris away from the piece while you work.
Features that make bench work easier
- Direct light where you need it. The built-in LED tilts to illuminate the working area.
- See fine details. A 5-inch, 2.5× magnifier includes a 10× insert for closer inspection and flips up when you need more access.
- Control airflow at the workpiece. The pivoting air nozzle lets you adjust both direction and flow, moving dust toward the rear collection port.
- Help contain debris. Clear hinged shields surround the work area while keeping it visible.
- Support your hands and your work. Padded wrist rests and a magnetic work rest help support small parts during detailed operations.
- Protect delicate surfaces. The A-MWR03 magnetic rest has a rubber contact pad, a felt-covered magnetic base and two spare rubber inserts.
- Clean up more easily. The removable watertight tray collects debris and lifts out for cleaning.
- Connect compatible dust extraction. The rear port accepts a 2¼-inch hose. A separate two-pin remote connection lets the front switch control a compatible dust collector along with the light.

Frequently asked questions
Is the MALC15 a complete dust collection system?
No. It provides the illuminated work area and collection port. You supply the dust collector or shop vacuum, connecting hose and compressed air equipment.
Can I use it with a shop vacuum?
Yes. The rear port accepts a 2¼-inch hose for a dust collector or shop vacuum. Choose a collection system and filtration appropriate for the material. Automatic switching requires a compatible two-pin remote connection.
What is required for the compressed air connection?
The inlet accepts 4 mm tubing, and a 6 mm-to-4 mm coupling is supplied. You will need a separate compressor, pressure regulator and suitable tubing/fittings. Keep supply pressure within Foredom's 90 PSI / 6 bar limit.
Which voltage and plug should I choose?
Select the cord/plug option that matches your electrical supply and location. The chamber's universal-voltage power operates its LED and remote control; the separate dust collector and compressor must each have their own suitable power supply.
Does the magnifier move out of the way?
Yes. The 2.5× magnifier flips up when not needed, and its 10× insert provides a smaller area for closer viewing.
What size work fits inside?
The interior measures approximately 8 inches high, 10¼ inches wide and 6½ inches deep. It is intended for small pieces that fit comfortably in your hand, with space left for your hands and tool.
