Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Proxxon WP/A be used on tile and natural stone?
Yes. The WP/A is well-suited for polishing and finishing natural stone tile (marble, travertine, granite, limestone) as well as porcelain and ceramic surfaces. Use the appropriate pad — lambswool or foam — matched to the surface and finish level required.
Will it remove grout haze from porcelain tile?
The WP/A can assist with light grout haze removal when paired with an appropriate cleaning compound or haze remover. For best results, apply a chemical grout haze remover first, then use the polisher with a foam or microfibre pad to buff the surface clean.
What pads are compatible with the WP/A?
The WP/A uses standard backing pads compatible with the Proxxon Micromot system. The included kit covers most finishing tasks. Third-party diamond polishing pads and wool pads with the correct arbor size are also compatible for stone work.
How long does the battery last per charge?
Runtime varies by speed setting and task intensity. The included Li/A2 battery typically delivers 20–40 minutes of continuous use. The LG/A2 rapid charger restores full charge quickly — keeping a spare Li/A2 battery on hand is recommended for larger tile jobs.
Is the WP/A suitable for professional tile installers or just DIY?
The WP/A is a professional-grade tool used by tile installers, stone fabricators, and restoration specialists. Its compact size and variable speed make it equally useful for detail work on residential installs and production finishing in fabrication shops.
What is the difference between the WP/A and the WP/E?
The WP/A is the cordless (battery-powered) version, offering maximum portability for on-site tile work. The WP/E is the corded version, providing unlimited runtime for sustained polishing on large stone slabs or countertops. Many professionals keep both in their kit.
