Product Information

1,001 uses for rotary tools

The full-wave electronic speed control provides full torque and constant speeds from 5,000 rpm to a maximum speed of 20,000 rpm, which in turn allows for micro drilling. The spindle operates on precision ball bearings resulting in smooth low vibration drilling, sanding, and polishing. The spindle is fitted with a lock button to assist in accessory changes. The fiberglass reinforced body is ergonomically designed to provide comfort and control while working. The 3/4'' (20 mm) collar fits on the drill stands and vises for added versatility. Powered by a quiet, high-quality, permanent magnet motor, the rotary tools can be used for milling, drilling, grinding, polishing, brushing, cleaning, deburring, sawing, carving, engraving, and rust removal. Standard equipment for the professional rotary tool includes six high concentricity collets sized 1/32'', 1/16'', 5/64'', 3/32'', 7/64'', and 1/8'' (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, and 3.2 mm) along with a collet nut and 34 bits and cutters as listed below.

            PROFESSIONAL ROTARY TOOL PX-8481 is a good tool but I just wish it had some more top end on the RPM's. The tool came well staffed with bits but when you have a bunch of Dremel bits you have to change out the collet because the PX-8481 tools come in the next shaft size down. All in All it is a good tool, For it to GREAT tool it needs more top end RPM,

                Comments about Proxxon Professional Rotary Tool:

                Days before buying this rotary tool, I tried a brand new Dremel on a project cutting 1/4 inch aluminum flat stock. The Dremel smoked and died in a few minutes. This new tool got the job done. It did take a little time, but I suspect that this job was a real test of the tools.
