Proxxon 38515 Model Building and Engraving Set

For years, decades really, I've used Dremel products, and/or off brand clones, and been mostly satisfied with them. About a year ago, I started making wood rings, pendants, figurines and other carved wood trinkets using mainly a Dremel with a flex shaft and a knock off pendant flex shaft rotary tool. I eventually picked up a Dremel Stylo for detailed work and it worked pretty well but I burned it out in a couple months. So, after extensive research (looking at all manner of rotary tools, micro motors and such) I decided on the Proxxon 60.....this tool is in a whole different category from typical Dremels and clones. Sure they all spin a bit/burr of some sort but that's where it ends. The Proxxon is quiet, really quiet. The torque throughout the speed range is outstanding, it is light and easy to hold with no vibration but, best of all, it is accurate/refined. There's like zero runout making carving small details so much easier. The build quality is top notch (they way you'd expect from a German company...it's like over-engineered). If you just need a tool to complete rough tasks like cutting/grinding/polishing metal objects, basic sanding/carving in metal/wood/stone or similar things, a Dremel (or clone) is probably fine. However, it you need a tool that can do all of that plus really excel at fine detailed work, look no further. Just get yourself the Proxxon. You'll be thrilled with it!

Fantastic rotary tool. Extremely stable, very quiet in spite of not being a brushless motor. Feels good in the hand. Really well made. Changed the level of quality of my silver engraving over night by switching to this tool for detail work. Absolutely wonderful. It is not a powerful tool and should not be used for heavy tasks, but for detail work, it is likely the best one you will find for the price range period. Plus it has the advantage of being corded so you do not have to worry about charging or swapping batteries constantly during your work (I personally hate being in the middle of something and needing to stop because my tool loses power).

I have used a Dremel roto-tool for quite some time....and was never quite satisfied for plastic scale modeling. From the first application this Proxxon tool was perfect. Fits comfortably in the hand, like a pencil, great speed-control, very easy to operate and manipulate. Highly recommended!!

Great quality and easy to use . Has variable speed and easy to hold in hand while in use . Not too bulky . Naturally fits well like holding a fat pencil and not too heavy.

One of the jewelry industry websites recommended the Proxxon rotary tool as an economical alternative to Foredom products, which were far beyond my hobby-level budget. I'm glad I discovered it. The Proxxon tool is a joy to use. There is practically no vibration, enabling very precise work. If only my hand were equally steady! My previous rotary tool was a Micro-Lux micromotor. By contrast, the Micro-Lux tool had a noticeable vibration. My old dremel was far worse. The body of the Proxxon tool is slightly larger in diameter and slightly heavier than some of the competitors' micromotor tools (such as the micro lux). However, the Proxxon design compensates by allowing you to hold it near the collet end, for stability. I'm still getting used to it, but it's very comfortable. I primarily use the default 3/32" collet with my existing bits. Having other available collet sizes provides a definite advantage. My previous rotary tool did not have a separate transformer. The power cord, plugged into an outlet, would sometimes get snagged as I moved the tool around the workbench. The Proxxon configuration (transformer on the bench) greatly improves the situation. I like it. Proxxon sells a foot pedal switch that I plan to purchase later. All in all, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase.

I got a Proxxon to replace my Dremel when it started to wear down with age and use, and got a model similar to this one because it fit better in a hand when trying to do fine detail work on costumes or woodworking. I was also pleased to find out that the ventilation was also in a better place than the dremel, and less likely to clog with dust. I got this set for my son because he lives part time with his mother in Canada and sometimes likes to costume when he doesn’t have access to my tools. He loves it. Honestly, I think this is more versatile than mine, and being able to change out the heads is great. We’ll see how it is going forward with regular use, but so far I’m pleased!

Excellent quality, well built tool. Awesome that it has an inductive/brushless motor. It will last for years to come. Cons: - Does make a LOT of noise when cutting things. - Careful that you don't damage the cutting wheel by hitting the desk. - Obviously a vice would be helpful for some situations, but I'll make do. Pros: - You can't beat the portability and the small size & weight. - The included AC transformer allows extended reach from your power source.

Smooth, quiet, and plenty powerful for delicate work and noticeably better handling than larger modes for that small work. Starts to get a bit noisier and more vibration around 15k but you don't have to run flat out all the time. Nice kit.

Non è come in foto. La spina dell'adattatore non è europea, ma americana. Non ho fatto in tempo a restituirlo, ma così non ha senso l'acquisto perché dovrei ricomprare l'adattatore

منتج سيء طلب المنتج ونتظرته اسبوعين لين وصل عندي جاني الجاهز خربان مايشتغل
