As with most Proxxon tools it is well made and performs as advertised. Its collet, which cannot be changed, holds only one diameter shaft. This limitation, along with the inconvenience of a power cord causes me to only use this tool for a few applications.

This review is from: Proxxon 38635 Complete Engraving Kit with Trial Glass (Tools & Home Improvement)

I'd been wanting to get more into engraving and carving wood, I already have a pair of the bigger Proxxon rotary tools and a flexshaft but it was still a bit cumbersome and heavy for long sessions. This seemed like a decent buy for the money so I bought it. It's extremely light weight, very quiet and has sufficient power to do a nice job. You need to let the engraver work at it's own pace, try to force it and it will stall. The collet is a friction type, you push the bits in and pull them out. Sometimes you'll need a set of small pliers as the thing can grip quite tightly.

In use there are a couple of things I'd like to see improved. One is the position of the switch, which I find to be in an awkward position but you get used to it. The other is the coiled cable, it's not very long and is a little still like all the Proxxon 12V tools. I pulled mine to get maximum stretch and it's less on a nuisance now. I have a decent selection of the 3/32" bits, up to a 1/4" bone cutter style carbide bit and while the engraver struggles a bit, it does work and doesn't cause the unit too much stress. With more appropriate bit sizes and styles the unit is very smooth and cuts efficiently. There is some forward/backward slop in the chuck but it's not normally a problem when running.

I have other 12V tools and so I have mine plugged into the 5amp transformer with two other tools for convenience. It's well made overall, quiet and runs true. Comes with a 2 year warranty. I've already recommended this engraver to friends, and small foibles aside, I'm very happy with it.
