Electric Tool Proxxon 27 172 — Black/Yellow, AC 220–240 V

Proxxon 27 172 — Black/Yellow is a mains-powered electric tool designed for workshop and hobby use where AC 220–240 V is available. The unit combines a compact design with features aimed at precise, low-noise cutting: a low-noise 220 V motor with toothed belt drive, an adjustable table that tilts up to 45° for mitre sawing, and a fine 5.0 x 0.4 mm blade suitable for detailed work and small radii. The tool incorporates multiple bearing-mounted components and an electronically controlled speed system with a reference table to match cutting speed to material.

Advantages

The tool uses a low-noise 220 V motor paired with an Optibelt toothed belt for smooth power transmission and prolonged quiet operation. Double ball bearing mounted aluminium pulleys and a triple ball bearing blade guide system provide stable, long-lasting mechanical support and reduced vibration. Electronically controlled speed enables accurate cuts and reduces the need for subsequent finishing. The plane-milled table with a mitre gauge slot and 45° tilt capability supports precise angled cuts, while the fine blade size allows for detailed, small-radius work.

Suitable for

• Precision cutting and model making in hobby workshops
• Small-scale joinery and mitre cuts up to 45°
• Cutting thin materials and parts requiring small radii
• Workshops where a mains-powered, low-noise tool is preferred

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: AC 220–240 V
• Fine blade dimensions: 5.0 x 0.4 mm for detailed cutting
• Motor type: low-noise mains motor with toothed belt drive
• Pulleys: aluminium, double ball bearing mounted
• Blade guidance: triple ball bearing guide, adjustable in height and width
• Table: plane-milled with slot for mitre gauge, tilts to 45°
• Speed control: electronic speed regulation with material-speed reference table

How to use

Install the appropriate 5.0 x 0.4 mm blade and adjust the triple ball bearing blade guide to suit the chosen blade width and desired cut depth. Set the plane-milled table to the required angle (up to 45°) and secure the workpiece using the mitre gauge or other clamping accessories. Use the electronic speed control to select the recommended rpm from the supplied speed table according to material type. Feed the workpiece steadily into the blade, keeping hands clear of the cutting area and following standard safety practices for mains-powered cutting tools.

Usage recommendations

For best results, refer to the table indicating recommended speeds for different materials before cutting. Use the low-noise motor at appropriate speeds to minimize vibration and avoid overheating. Keep bearings and moving parts clean and periodically check belt tension to maintain accurate cutting and prolong component life.
