Proxxon 38481 Review by James Webb (Wauconda, IL USA)
The positive reviews here are accurate. This tool is quiet and vibration-free through its entire speed range. It is light and comfortable to hold, and the selected speed stays constant when the tool is under load. The power cord's length is generous, but not so much so that it is cumbersome. The collets are finely crafted, and do not need excessive tightening to hold bits firmly. In fact, for work that hasn't required a lot of torque, finger tightening the collets has worked just fine. The included collet wrench is comfortable to use, and has a slit in it through which one can pass the shank of a bit with a large head. While doing my purchase research, I fretted about the problems others have had with the keyless chuck that it turns out is not made for this model. Not having the infinitely variable jaws of a chuck has not been an issue for me. The collets supplied cover six of the most common shank sizes and have met all my needs.
The case is reasonably sized and is roomy inside without being cavernous. The blocks that hold the collets and accessories snap firmly into their receptacles. When the tool arrived, these blocks were loose inside the case. I had to press them in quite firmly to make them snap into place which suggests to me that either those who have had problems have not pressed firmly enough or I got lucky and received a case and blocks with tight tolerances.
I measured for run out using the pre-installed 3/32" collet and one of the included bits. At the place where the shank entered the collet the reading was 0.000. That goes a long way toward explaining the absence of noise and vibration.
This has been a fine purchase, and has been well worth the slightly higher purchase price versus the Dremel 4000, which I also considered. I am happy.
Proxxon 38481 Review by J. Couture (TN United States)
I am using this power tool as the spindle of my computer controlled router. The runout and vibration are so low I am able to mill my own circuit boards. My old Dremel is not of the same quality and I can not recommend Dremel over this tool ... if you are in the market for a multi-tool this is the one to buy.
Proxxon 38481 Review by L. Kelley "computer guru" (Show Me State)
I researched rotary tools and even talked to a dealer before I purchased this tool. I have looked at Dremels in the store plus other rotary tools. In your hand, this one feels totally different. It is much more solid and has better balance than other rotary tools. Yes, it has variable speeds and I have found that even on slower speeds that it does a fantastic job that could only be accomplished with a higher speed on others.
It comes with a fantastic array of bits in a durable plastic case. The case will hold the bits if you make sure the extra trays are snapped down properly. It is a tight fit on the extra trays, but to keep them secure that is probably the only way. Even the way the collets tighten show the quality of this tool. We are continuing to find new uses for this product and hope others will try and appreciate this great tool!!
