Proxxon 38544 Longneck Mini Angle Grinder LW/E

I think it's a great little tool. These reviews I'm seeing about how it doesn't have enough torque are baffling to me. This little guy isn't made to cut 1/2" bar with a cutoff wheel. It's made to deburr edges or sand a rounded surface or a million other very light duty jobs. You should have an angle grinder to do heavy duty work. I really don't get it because it seems to me if you're buying this tool, you probably have several corded angle grinders, and at least one cordless, if not more. So why you would be trying to do anything but finishing work with this is beyond me. My one complaint is how crunchy it sounds in the neck. I'm sure there is a pretty sophisticated gear train in there, but it does sound like it's gonna tear itself apart any second the whole time it's being used. I hope it only sounds like that and it continues to work, because I really like the little guy. I don't use it much, but when I do need it, I get so happy because I love using it.

This tool is hot trash. There's no power. If you put any sort of pressure on the wheel. It overheats extremely bad. I've been through two of these. Neither one of them lasted more than 10 minutes at a time before it blew up. Started smoking and burnt my hand

I was about to purchase another one because mine burned up. Whenever I felt it getting warm I would let it cool down. I think I was covering the vented area w my gloves and that's what made it overheat and die. Apparently it's a common occurrence. I'm a power carver and I can tell you...I put it to the test!

Works great for removing wood in small areas when sculpting.

If you’re using it in the Tile and stone industry, diamond blades are pretty specific on the arbor diameter, but it does the job still getting used to it.

Muito bom

Just turn it on, and you will know, you bought extremely useless tool. The sound of the motor is uneven. It stops, when you apply a minimal pressure. And, it burns with fire from within.

Works great until it dies. Used it with diamond blade to cut into tile corners where a regular angle grinder cannot reach. worked great until it lost its torque , after disassembly to inspect it I was shocked to see that one gear of the gear assembly is made of plastic and it got stripped out. I saw that the company sells parts for this machine but I was unable to complete the gear disassembly to be able to remove the gear, It looks like you need some special tools to do it.

Excellent product and service

This doesn't work.

good tool

Quiet, powerful, light and easy to handle. This is an amazing tool!

Busted within two months of use. Can't return. Followed instructions in their entirety as I know how important not overworking a tool is - still busted. Useless tool. Do not buy.
