This small drill press has all the features of a full-size drill press and very surprising power for a small machine. Next came the milling machine MF It too was extremely accurate and powerful for its size. It even performed effortlessly on steel.
When I first used it, the gibs needed some adjustment, but after that it did an excellent job. The speed is adjustable from 5, rpm to 20, rpm, and the power it delivers is incredible. It is capable of performing much like a full-size mill, even on this small scale.
I gave the mill a thorough workout on the X, Y and Z axes. I then attached the vise from the drill press. It mounted a little bit forward and limited travel on the mill, but was a great addition for holding small parts. The only thing I would change would be to knurl the adjustment handles so that you can gain a firm grip and adjust the table in small increments.
The plunge router MOF is the newest of the miniature tools I tested. As with the other members of its Proxxon family, it is very precise. The motor ran smoothly and had an amazing amount of power.
However, the plunger has excessively strong springs for such a small tool, resulting in a lot of error on initial contact with the work surface. Also, the slide of the plunger has a certain roughness to it — if you look closely, you can actually see the roughness on the plunger rods. Overall, though, this is still a very handy tool to have if you are making dollhouse furniture or other detailed small pieces.
I added a fence extension to help guide the part a little farther past the blade. This modification is not completely necessary; it just makes it a little easier to make an accurate cut. I also made a small micro-adjuster that clamps onto the table for adjusting the fence. I can only imagine the possibilities for professionals such as architects, prototype builders or anyone who must perform small-scale, precision work.
I built a prototype for a new product I designed and used the tools extensively for the project. This involved not only exterior walls for appearance but also included interior support walls and functional latches, all made from ABS plastic.
I completed the project in two days. I attribute this accomplishment to the Proxxon tools in this article — especially the table saw. His wood projects are mostly made from scrap wood salvaged from skids. He enjoys woodworking and fishing.
