Description
The Proxxon MICROMOT 60/EF (No. 28512) is the quick-action chuck variant of the Proxxon 12V Micromot rotary tool family. It combines built-in electronic variable speed control with a feedback circuit that maintains high torque even at low RPM — preventing the motor from bogging down under load, which is especially useful for carving, engraving, and routing in harder materials.
The quick-action chuck accepts multiple shank diameters without collet changes, making it the most convenient option for users who swap bits frequently. The slim, lightweight body (230g, 220mm) and specially balanced low-noise DC motor make it comfortable for extended sessions.
Note: An AC adapter of at least 1.0A is required for operation (not included). Recommended adapters: NG 5/E (No. 38704) or NG 2/S (No. 38706).
Applications
- Milling, drilling, and routing
- Polishing and buffing
