Multi-tool Proxxon 28 510 — 40 W AC, 5,000–20,000 OPM, 220 mm depth, 230 g

Proxxon 28 510 is a compact AC-powered multi-tool designed for precision cutting, grinding and polishing in hobby and light workshop applications. It delivers 40 W input power and a variable idle oscillation rate adjustable between 5,000 and 20,000 OPM, enabling controlled work on small parts. The tool has a depth of 220 mm, a slim 35 mm diameter for easy handling and weighs approximately 230 g. The housing is made of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide with a soft component in the finger grip area and it is available in black, green and yellow. The drive uses a balanced motor with a grounded spindle and collar bearing for quiet operation, and high-quality steel collets ensure accurate clamping of cutters and bits.

Advantages

The compact size and low weight make the Proxxon 28 510 easy to manoeuvre for detailed work. Variable electronic speed control with feedback maintains power at lower speeds for consistent performance. A ball-bearing spindle and high-quality MICROMOT steel collets reduce vibration and ensure precise tool clamping. The tool’s quiet, balanced motor and slim diameter support extended use with good control.

Suitable for

• Precision model making and hobby crafting
• Detail sanding, grinding and polishing of wood and plastics

How to use

Fit an appropriate collet and cutter or accessory into the collet, ensuring secure clamping before switch-on. Connect the tool to a compatible mains adapter that supplies at least 1.0 A for the 12 V drive system. Switch on and set the required speed using the variable control, starting at lower OPM for delicate work and increasing for faster material removal. Hold the slim-bodied tool steadily by the soft-grip area and guide it with light pressure; avoid forced pushes that may overload the motor or damage the cutter. After use, switch off and disconnect the mains adapter, allow the spindle to stop, and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use the Proxxon 28 510 with the recommended MICROMOT mains adapters (NG 2/S, NG 2/E or NG 5/E) or any adapter that meets the 12 V / ≥1.0 A requirement. Select collet and cutter sizes appropriate to the task and material, and operate at lower speeds for fine detail or fragile materials. Regularly inspect collets and cutters for wear to maintain clamping accuracy and minimise vibration.
