Some tools become the centrepiece of the workbench. The Proxxon MICROMOT 60 is one of them: a precision rotary drill-milling machine in its 4th generation, combining a 40 W motor, constant speed of 20,000 rpm and a ball-bearing spindle in a body just 220 mm long and weighing 230 g. The result is a tool that responds with accuracy, free from annoying vibration and with the stability that the most demanding detailed work requires.
A tool that works where others cannot reach
The compact format of the MICROMOT 60 is not just a matter of size: it is what allows you to control angle, pressure and path with a precision that larger tools simply cannot offer. It runs on DC between 12 and 18 V, which requires a suitable external transformer such as the NG 2/S or NG 5/E from the Proxxon range itself. The concentric tool clamping ensures each collet sits perfectly centred, with no lateral play that could compromise the result.
Six collets included, many possibilities open
The box includes 6 MICROMOT steel collets in the most common diameters for precision work: 1, 1.5, 2, 2.4, 3 and 3.2 mm. With that range covered, the tool is ready for milling cutters, drill bits, cutting discs, engraving tips, polishing wheels and a long list of accessories compatible with the MICROMOT system. On a modelling workbench, that translates into real versatility: the same tool can drill a hole in a model kit part, clean up an edge, engrave a surface or tidy a joint. It has that quality of a tool that, once it arrives on the bench, becomes hard to imagine working without.
EU-made precision for work that leaves no room for error
The MICROMOT 60 is manufactured in the European Union to the quality standards that have made Proxxon a benchmark in precision tools for scale modelling, jewellery, electronics and fine mechanics. The balanced motor and ball-bearing spindle are not minor details: they are what make the difference when the job demands a clean repeated cut or a stable speed held through a long process. For anyone working with model kits, miniatures or any project that calls for real control over the material, this tool earns a permanent place on the workbench.
