Miniature precision machine with aluminum die-cast head. Quiet, precise and efficient! Grinder with 34 industrial quality bits & cutters with shanks ? 3/32'' (2.3 mm). High concentricity (maximum run out .001''). This high-revving motor has full-wave electronic speed control capable of producing continuously variable speeds between 5,000 and 20,000 rpm and is usable for extended periods at a time. The ground steel spindle runs in a ball bearing assembly, minimizing play. 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 are included. MICROMOT steel collets are hardened and thus have a high, consistent flexibility. They also maintain prolonged accuracy, even after regular use. The triple-slit collet is substantially more difficult to manufacture than the four-slit type, but offers a better load-bearing surface. This is especially important for cutters with small shank diameters. These collets should not be compared with unhardened, four-slit collets of brass and aluminum.

The diameter of only 1.4″ makes this tool very easy to handle. It weighs only 10 ounces (230g). A special motor gives it a quiet and effortless drive. The ground spindle and collar bearing all contribute to the ergonomic design. Improved gripping area for comfortable feel and control.

The high quality, triple-slit steel collets ensure accurate clamping of the cutters and high concentricity.

This tool requires the use of either the NG/2S or the NG5/E Proxxon transformer.

For form grinding, coarse and fine surface and edge sanding, for re-sanding primer and surface finishes. Its safety voltage and reducible sanding speed make it ideal for wet sanding, too.
The unit offers a practical clamping unit for sandpaper, so no special sheets are required. Strips can simply be cut from widely available sandpaper. The sanding shoe measures 3 9/64″ x 2 9/32″ (80 x 58 mm) and possesses no overlapping elements and can therefore work surfaces right into corners and edges.

The tool operates on 12 – 18 V at 100 watt maximum power consumption. The sanding speed is electronically adjustable between 1,000 and 5,000 strokes/min.

This sander requires the use of either the NG2/S or NG5/E Proxxon transformer
