The PS 13 Pensander from Proxxon is a great tool for the model maker and miniaturist. It is ideal for working on surfaces in recesses, slots and other awkward to get at areas. The durable special DC motor is housed in a glass fibre reinforced polyamide casing and the unit features a sanding stroke with a linear action, not rotational. Supplied with four sanding arbors with straight shanks and four angled (all different shapes) as well as three sheets of pre-profiled self adhesive sanding pads. The sheets are of grits 180, 240 and 400 with 5 of each shape per sheet. Included are four sanding attachments with straight shanks and four with angled shanks (four different shapes per shank style). Sanding bands : best for flat surfaces and edges. Coarser grit removes more material. Great for roughly shaping wood. When you don’t want to do a lot of re-scribing this little sander does the job where needed. I also have a small dish of water handy where I dip the plastic tip of the -400 into when doing a little wet sanding for the tight areas. I’m sure this isn’t recommend but it works brilliantly.with a little wet sanding in areas. For any European or else where interest. I’m working directly with David Union to see if they will do a factory direct shipment but there are some logistics to work out. I’ll keep pushing on this idea and hope to have an answer for us early next week.

PROXXON - PS 13

Direct voltage 12 - 18V. 8,000 linear strokes/min. (2.5mm stroke length). Length 160mm. Weight 130g. A couple of points I want to mention. If there are any further American (Latin and Canada) interests I would need to know the specific wall plug in. Brazil, Argentina etc. I know they are different. Canada would be similar to the US standard I’m assuming. Please let me know. Sanding discs : less coarse than bands and flap wheels. Suited to light shaping and removing chips. The DAVID 400, the first linear stroke sander in DAVID series, gives a complete solution to your craft and hobby activities. Ideal for working on surfaces in slots, recesses and narrow space, makes all the works you're used to more convenient. With variable speed, the DAVID 400 can be applied to any situation with perfect speed. The DAVID 400 also lets you work with your creativity in fun, various ways like polishing, cutting, or even engraving.N.B. A mains adaptor of at least 1.0A at 10-18VDC is required. We recommend Proxxon power supplies NG2/E or NG5/E.

REQUIRES: a Micromot transformer of at least 1.0A. See Micromot NG 2/S and NG 5/E transformers below. The NG 5/E transformer allows the selection of different speeds for different applications and material. Abrasive brushes : perfect for detailed jobs like grooves. Remove the surface layer without damaging what’s underneath. For operation a mains adapter of at least 1.0A is required. We recommend MICROMOT mains adapters NG2/S, NG2/E or NG5/E.Abrasive buffs : flexible accessories that take the shape of whatever you’re sanding or buffing. Great for hard-to-reach areas. Linear (not rotating) stroke. Long-lasting special DC motor. Housing of glass-fibre reinforced POLYAMIDE. Four sanding arbors with straight shanks and four angled (all different shapes) as well as three sheets of pre-profiled self-adhesive sanding pads are included. The sheets are of grits 180, 240 and 400 with 5 of each shape per sheet. In addition to 7 standard polishing heads, the 2.35mm and 3.0mm collets make applying diamond burs or other polishing heads possible. Four-jaw design allows for different positioning options. I have the Proxxon tool and I use it a lot. I also "customised" some heads to get into odd or tight spaces. It is ideal for sanding filler-filled ejection pin marks in tight spaces. Could see the advantage especially for those doing lots of resin models. Whilst certainly squarely in the "not essential" category, it could prove useful for those with arthritis or similar conditions that make sanding painful.
