Note: The speed control of Proxxon 12 volt devices only works when operated via non-stabilised power supply units (e.g. all Micromot mains adapters). Connection to stabilised power supply units is possible, however, the devices will then operate with maximum rotational speeds (also applies to operation with batteries).

Average quality at a price?
Reviewed by: Mr Chris Potts - Thursday, December 17, 2015I bought this item as my previous machine (bought from RS components 20 years ago!) which I use primarily for PCB drilling, finally wore out.
I chose the Proxxon tool because I had had seen this brand rapidly appearing throughout a number of retail/trade outlets and the price suggested that it would be in the higher-end of the product type.
I also purchased a micromot power supply/transformer and a drill-stand (MB 140/S) to compliment the unit.
It is worth noting, at this point, that this drilling machine's power cable is fitted with a plug which appears to be unique to Proxxon and that the Proxxon power supply/transformer is required for a "plug-and-play" setup.
The drilling machine does not exhibit a constant-torque performance as well as my previous device. It tends to slow down under mechanical load at lower speeds, which means that I find myself drilling at higher speeds that I would normally choose, in order to maintain sufficient torque output for the job.
The bearings in this machine are very stable. There is no "wobble" of the shaft, and therefore the same applies the the drill-tip.
The Drill-stand is quite stable. It is difficult to use, e.g. changing drill-bits, as the mechanical layout of the drill/stand combination was, clearly, not adequately thought-out during the design process.
Overall, the Proxxon range seems to be quite adequate for light drilling tasks albeit that they can be a little awkward to use and that more economical options do exist if you look around.
