Review on Efficient Engraving with Proxxon FBS 240/E 28472: Durable Precision Engraver by Barbara Cholewa ᠌

This is the first power tool that I am not afraid to hold in my hands and work with it :D I do not regret that I chose Proxxon as a gift for my husband, in the end I joined myself :D Its pros: Gorgeous machine! The quality is top notch, no complaints. Quiet and easy to work with. The three-jaw chuck clamps a wide range of shanks in width - from 0.3 to 3.2 mm, so there are no problems with consumables at all - nozzles from any drills (engravers, mini-drills) are suitable. Although you can put a collet there if you wish. My husband processes natural stones and glass with this drill - with the help of diamond nozzles it is easy. I mainly use for woodcarving. The machine does everything well. You just need to understand that this is still a machine for fine work, and not a replacement for absolutely all tools. That is, grinding large surfaces, drilling walls - this is not according to its profile. Otherwise, the scope is simply huge, even a manicure can be done: D Its cons: In general, there is nothing to complain about. We can say that the box is not perfect - perhaps the lid and latches will fall off over time, because. they only turn by bending the plastic. The set of consumables in the kit does not quite allow you to evaluate the capabilities of the machine - you could put something diamond, for example. But these are all the little things that could not affect the choice in any way. After 15-20 minutes of operation, the machine begins to noticeably warm up, but THIS IS THE NORM. After this time, it is recommended to take a break from work for at least 5 minutes, and this applies to all such tools.
