The Proxxon 28481 IBS/E (Professional Drill/Grinder) is a compact, robust rotary tool for serious hobbyists and professionals who need precision and versatility. Designed for tasks such as drilling, milling, grinding, polishing, cleaning, carving, engraving, cutting or finishing across a wide range of materials — from metals to wood, plastics, ceramics and more.
Its streamlined die-cast aluminium head and ball-bearing spindle ensure quiet, smooth and accurate operation, while the special-balanced 100 W DC motor with full-wave electronic speed control provides stable power even under prolonged use.
Key Features
-
Variable speed control: approx. 5,000 to 22,000 rpm (depending on load) — great for fine, detailed work or faster material removal.
-
100 W motor delivering strong, consistent power for grinding, cutting, drilling and polishing jobs.
-
High precision, low runout: gear head and ground-steel ball-bearing spindle deliver high concentric accuracy — advertised max runout at 0.03 mm (3/100 mm) for steady, non-wobbling bit operation.
-
Versatile collet set included: Six triple-slit hardened steel collets (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0, 3.2 mm) plus collet nut and a set of 34 industrial-quality bits with 2.35 mm shafts — ready to use straight out of the box.
