Questions & Answers
The same transformers are used by several power tools manufactured by Proxxon. It is a blessing that I only need one transformer to run all of my tools, it
I will use sparkle and plastic wood when I complete my projects. In addition to epoxy sculp, I use the material to build on it as well. This sander is designed for work that requires fine detail in addition to rapid The negative reviews what's up with them? A small power sander is not the same size as the Proxxon line. At times I encountered details that could not be handled by a palm sander and had to sand by hand. The Proxxon will need to sand these parts very carefully. Those sanding pads are not too aggressive, and they also wear out with repeated On a palm sander, I use 100 grit, while I use 180 grit. Despite its size, the sanding pad is not as large as it appears. My little finger would be the size of a quarter sheet of sandpaper compared to the end of my little finger. In my mind, I thought I could sand the same way I did with my The standard press on sandpaper pads can be cut down to fit the smaller sized pads so that I can do it faster. As a result, the process moves faster. The adhesive, on the other hand, weakens as heat builds up. In summary, you use the sander as it was designed to be used. In the long run, it won't reduce large areas. We will talk about specific areas in detail. This will give you very smooth edges and edges that are very clean.
If you will use it for really tight hard-to-reach areas when carving wood, I will use a different tool for larger areas, it has a small head for fine detail, I use it for really hard-to-reach areas, but not for larger areas.

Selected User Reviews For Proxxon 28594 Pen Sander PS 13, 12 Volt
I bought this Proxxon micro sander to eliminate this hassle. My models actually look much better after using the sander! I hadn't anticipated how powerful it would be! As for melting the plastic, I was concerned about the Proxxon, but it does not overheat the plastic unless you force it, as I had experienced when using dremel type tools that are used for sanding. Having this little sander makes finishing much less of a hassle! I am so glad I decided to try it out!.
(My running speed is 75 to 80 mph. two pens because the pen gets hot after prolonged use, and I switch back and forth between them. Besides sanding (using one while the other cools down), I also use it to do some fine drilling. Thank you, sanding pens! I haven't hurt my fingers since I bought them! I used to get finger cramps by sanding finely all day at work before I had this. Sand paper gets worn out pretty quickly (bring your own sticky back sand paper) and there is a small contact area, so the sandpaper vibrates at an 80x faster speed than your hand does. I got good at replacing sandpaper after 5 minutes My only wish is that I are able to put more pressure on the vibrating tip I have to use a medium amount of pressure and wait for the sandpaper to do its thing.
I felt optimistic that the unit would meet the needs since it is constructed of walnut and maple. It did so well and exceeded my expectations. However, I found that the sandpaper did not last as long on such hard wood, so I used some conventional sticky back sandpaper discs I had in various grits and that worked better. This also proved to be much cheaper than buying new sandpaper. In my experience, the unit worked well at all speeds and was not overheated or sluggish like some others have reported. Although I have limited usage of this tool, I am hopeful I will keep it long enough to make use of it.
Using this will only serve as a decent sanding tool for a very short time. 30 seconds, sometimes longer, are usually needed to remove most of the sanding grit. As an example, I used the self-attaching abrasives patches and several different types of sandpaper supplied in the unit. A similar result was obtained. The wood I'm working with already has a small area of waterway, and I'm trying to sand that down just a bit. The glue didn't adhere properly to the deck so I should have done this first. If I had simply ripped it out and redone it instead of using this tool, I would have saved myself time and money. Not very happy.
I do relief wood carving, so this is a must. There does not seem to be a substitute, which is why I did not purchase It all works just fine when it's all spliced together. Typically, a sander can not have any pressure applied to the pad or it will damage the machine. Restrain pressure on the pad while using a sand paper. It only has a small number of features because it is such a small pen sander. You can buy sticky sandpaper in rolls for sanding cheaply. The rolls are available in many sizes and can be cut to fit. The sticky sandpaper worked well on the bass wood and got into places this method cannot reach.
It dies in 5 minutes. Five minutes after being hit, he was dead. It has been a couple years since I bought it, but I used it today for the first time. The sand started sanding for a couple minutes and slowed down. For a short period of time, I shut it off. When I turned it back on, it got hot and there was no vibration from the sanding. The Chinese are producing some fine things that will end up in landfills. Lastly, what should we do with this extremely expensive high-end transformer. I will not buy more tools for it to use. By the way, I am a furniture maker and I was building a model ship from this.
In the course of working on a model ship project, I demanded the use of this sander (to sand in the camber of the main decking). This sander has been an absolute joy to use! With its ability to fit into places and speed up finicky work like a miracle, this gadget is hard to Once you get the feel for it, the control and agility of the thing allows you to work very rapidly and accurately. We would like to make one suggestion, both to manufacturers and buyers Taking a course In place of the glue required to attach the grit pads, replacing them with sticky pads would be welcomed. It's going to be tough to get into some places with a lighter touch, but the easier-looking- one won't work This is because grit quickly wears away. The bottom line is that if you are working on miniature projects, this is an indispensable tool.
The tool can not be replicated for work that requires a lot of detail. One is currently at my work station and one is at home. Every cent you paid for them was worth it!.
