Choosing an endo motor comes down to how you work: the file systems you use, whether you want a built-in apex locator, and how much control you need over speed, torque and motion. GoldenDent carries six Woodpecker endo motors, and every one of them has a reciprocating mode. That means any of them can run single-file reciprocating files such as WaveOne® Gold or our comparable GoldenOne Reciprocating Endo Files, as well as rotary files like GoldenTaper.

Woodpecker Endo Pace
The Endo Pace is an affordable, lightweight brushless endo motor with a cordless handpiece. Its ATR reciprocating mode works with WaveOne Gold-type reciprocating files. It has a 6:1 mini contra-angle head that rotates 360° and adjusts in 10° steps. Speed runs from 100 to 1,500 rpm and torque from 0.4 to 4.2 N·cm. It connects easily to an external apex locator.
Woodpecker Endo Smart Plus
The Endo Smart Plus is a brushless motor with a wireless handpiece. Its reciprocating angle adjusts from 20° to 340° in 10° steps. It comes with 30 built-in preprogrammed file systems and 10 custom programs. It has a super-mini 8 mm head that's easy to see around, even under a microscope, and a rechargeable 2000 mAh battery.
Woodpecker Endo Radar Pro
The Endo Radar Pro pairs a high-performance brushless motor with a built-in 5th-generation apex locator. You can shape and measure working length at the same time or separately.
- Reciprocating angles adjust from 20° to 340° in 10° steps, so it can match any reciprocating file system.
- ATR (Adaptive Torque Reverse) switches to reciprocating motion when the preset torque limit is reached, which reduces stress on the file.
- Speed runs from 100 to 2,500 rpm.
- Auto start, auto stop and auto reverse at the apex.
- A pre-programmed file library, a super-mini 360° contra-angle and a wireless handpiece with wireless charging.
Woodpecker Ai Endo Motor (Base and Dr. Yoshi Terauchi models)
The Woodpecker Ai is a brushless motor with a wireless handpiece and a built-in apex locator. The display shows the file's position in the canal in real time. The motor stops or reverses automatically at the apical stop, and it can start and stop on its own as the file enters and leaves the canal.
- Reciprocating angle adjusts from 20° to 340° in 10° steps.
- 30 preprogrammed file systems plus 10 custom programs.
- A super-mini 8 mm head.
The black-and-gold Dr. Yoshi Terauchi model adds T-Mode, a "watch-winding" motion for safely bypassing ledges, and a wider speed range of 100 to 2,500 rpm.
Woodpecker 812 MT Yoshi Endo Motor
The 812 MT was designed with Dr. Yoshi Terauchi for advanced and retreatment cases.
- A customizable reciprocating angle that works with reciprocating file brands, including WaveOne Gold.
- Three vibration speeds during rotation for MTA compaction in small anatomical spaces.
- An upgraded automatic T-Mode for bypassing ledges.
- A built-in apex locator, which can also connect to an external locator such as the Woodpecker Ai-Pex.
- Speed from 50 to 2,500 rpm and torque from 0.4 to 5.0 N·cm.
- A wireless foot pedal and a wireless charging base.
Woodpecker Endo GT Pro
The Endo GT Pro is Woodpecker's premium cordless endo workstation.
- A 6-inch HD touchscreen and a magnetic charging dock.
- A customizable file library for storing your file settings.
- An ultra-slim 8 mm contra-angle head with a built-in LED.
- Reciprocating mode, T-Mode and intelligent torque control. When torque exceeds the set threshold, it switches automatically to a safe reciprocating motion.
- A built-in apex locator for real-time working length.
Every motor runs WaveOne Gold-type reciprocating files
All six motors have a reciprocating mode, so you can run a single-file reciprocating technique on any of them. Pair your motor with GoldenOne Reciprocating Endo Files, which are comparable in sizes and technique to WaveOne Gold. Finish the case with matching paper points and gutta-percha.
Prefer a rotary sequence? The same motors run GoldenTaper Rotary Endo Files, which are comparable to ProTaper Gold.

Frequently asked questions
Do all Woodpecker endo motors from GoldenDent have a reciprocating mode?
Yes. All six Woodpecker endo motors we carry have a reciprocating mode and work with WaveOne Gold-type reciprocating files, including GoldenOne.
Which Woodpecker endo motors have a built-in apex locator?
The Endo Radar Pro, Ai, 812 MT Yoshi and Endo GT Pro have built-in apex locators. The Endo Pace connects to an external apex locator.
Which motor is best for retreatment?
The 812 MT Yoshi was designed with Dr. Yoshi Terauchi for advanced cases. It adds vibration modes for MTA compaction and an automatic T-Mode for bypassing ledges.
Can I use rotary files like GoldenTaper on these motors?
Yes. These motors run rotary files as well as reciprocating files. Always follow the file manufacturer's recommended speed and torque settings.
