38544 Longneck Mini Angle Grinder LW/E

It doesn’t have enough power, it is easy to use and I use it for grinding and polishing aluminum.

This tool is hot trash. There's no power. If you put any sort of pressure on the wheel. It overheats extremely bad. I've been through two of these. Neither one of them lasted more than 10 minutes at a time before it blew up. Started smoking and burnt my hand

Muito bom

Absolutely great

The Proxxon Longneck Angle Grinder is a good product, well made, nicely balanced and easy to use, especially for grinding and sanding intricate bronze sculpture. The machine fills a niche in my shop, in applications where my 4.5" angle grinders are too big and the Dremel is too small and underpowered. I don't like the position of the controls, on the top of the tool. I often hit the power button by mistake and turn the tool off in the middle of an operation. I also nudge the speed control without meaning to. The controls would be better placed on the bottom of the grinder or more deeply recessed. In fact, I think the Proxxon might cost less if the variable speed feature were dispensed with entirely. The speed range is very limited, and the top speed is the only setting most would use. I would have liked a few more accessories to be included; and additional accessories (flap discs, sanding discs, backing pad) are way too expensive. It's a nice tool, despite my concerns, and I think it would be a good addition to many shops, especially if you don't use pneumatic tools.

I was about to purchase another one because mine burned up. Whenever I felt it getting warm I would let it cool down. I think I was covering the vented area w my gloves and that's what made it overheat and die. Apparently it's a common occurrence. I'm a power carver and I can tell you...I put it to the test!

Worked great for about 3 uses. Next time I went to use it, the tool started smoking within 30 seconds of use very light detail grinding work! (I was using it correctly i.e. correct speed, not pushing down, letting the tool and grinding wheel do the work). It's a shame, I really liked the design and application for detial work but feel completely ripped off based on what I paid and the quality of the tool. After my 3 uses its defective.

The gears sound horrible with first use. I hope it last. My buddy also has one that sounds horrible. the head was modified to take easier to source disc's. So far so good but I feel anyway it'll throw bearing or what ever is grinding in there.
