Proxxon 28 172 – Power Tool Accessory, compatible with Proxxon rotary tools (model PR28172)

Proxxon 28 172 is an accessory designed for use with Proxxon rotary and power tools, providing a robust cutting solution when fitted to a compatible holder or tool head. The product combines an alloyed tempering steel carrier belt with saw teeth made from wear-resistant high-speed steel, offering longevity and reliable cutting performance for a range of metals. Teeth are arranged with varying pitches of 10–14 TPI to balance cutting speed and finish quality.

Advantages

The alloyed tempering steel carrier ensures dimensional stability and resistance to deformation during use, while the high-speed steel saw teeth deliver sustained cutting ability and improved wear life. A variable tooth pitch (10–14 TPI) allows efficient material removal on thicker workpieces and finer finish when needed. The accessory is supplied as a modular part suitable for replacement or upgrade of compatible Proxxon rotary and power tool setups.

Suitable for

• Cutting standard steel grades
• Working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass
• Cutting stainless steel in light- to medium-duty applications
• Hobbyist metalworking and model making
• Professional minor fabrication and repair tasks

Key specifications

• Carrier material: alloyed tempering steel for stability and strength
• Saw tooth material: wear-resistant high-speed steel for enhanced durability
• Tooth pitch: varying 10–14 TPI to suit different cutting demands
• Intended materials: standard steel, non-ferrous metals, stainless steel (light to medium duty)

How to use

Fit the accessory to a compatible Proxxon rotary or power tool according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring secure attachment and correct orientation of the cutting edge. Use appropriate speeds and steady feed rates for the material being cut; slower feed and moderate speed are often required for stainless steel to avoid overheating. Wear suitable personal protective equipment and clamp the workpiece firmly to prevent movement during cutting.

Usage recommendations

To maximize service life and cutting quality, select the correct speed and feed for the workpiece, avoid excessive lateral forces on the blade, and inspect the saw teeth regularly for wear. Use cutting lubricants when working with stainless steel and harder alloys to reduce heat buildup and extend tool life.
