Proxxon 28128 Bench drill TBM 220 (tool)

Customer Review

This Reszension should be a help in the selection of equipment and also focuses on bench drills from the Baumarmt. It is primarily a comparison between "Proxxon bench drill TBM 220" and "Dremel 400 Digital" built into "Dremel Workstation 220" .The latter implements together give theoretically a bench drill.

Since my model building time in the 80's I use mostly "Proxxon" -Gerätschaften: The Micromot 40-E, whose elder sister Micromot-100E and the jigsaw. All units of this company are smooth running, durable and take massive loads with overheating not bad. Complementing I bought the unit "Dremel 400 Digital" and a little later the equipment stand "Dremel Workstation 220". I needed more torque at separate what this 125-watt unit also provides ready. The practical speed setting and the LCD had a reason to buy.

The combination of "Dremel": The quality se drilling / sander "Dremel 400 digital" offers speeds of 5,000- to 33,000 revolutions per minute. The engine delivers 140 watts and has felt more torque as the "Micromot-100E", but not much. The speed is adjusted with two keys to 1,000 tours, the target speed is displayed digitally. The speed control is nimble, the force is sufficient to drill with minimum speeds (5,000), a 5 mm hole in pinewood. When using cut-off wheels and cutting of sheet steel, the machine is as hot as the competition, although more cooling air blows out of the case. I use this device with a keyless chuck. The drill "Dremel Workstation 220" takes this machine on the device and neck so you theoretically a bench drill .....

..... But how great the disappointment was with this combination! The smaller price is there already taken into account. The Borhständer is incompatible with drill chucks, because the output-threaded shaft partly in the holder verschwindet- clamped to less than 5 mm shafts a, pushes the chuck against the bracket and blocks the machine! The spindle in the holder can be reached only with a pointed finger. The in itself good machine mutated in this fragile drill to a source of inaccuracy. The main problem of the "Dremel Workstation 220 ': Down to the sturdy table (screwed) is the most out of relatively soft plastic. This also applies to critical points where it comes to strength, such as the fixing of the "Dremel 400 Digital" itself: plastic nut! The product picture is deceptive In addition, because the column is not continuous in one piece, but is in the upper part of a thin-walled tube with a small diameter. Sooo big is the height adjustment range is not so. The clamping of the entire carrier is virtually levered, but it does not inspire confidence in a secure grip. The quill (or ultimately the drill) has been unloaded game in all directions, even in delicate stress transverse to the drill axis travels the entire holder path milling times something like an oblong hole can be so hard. Practically, the function to pivot the machine used in 15-degree increments, so you can align eg a grinding wheel as the wheel stand.

Overview "Dremel" -Kombi:
+ Flexible use the handset without drill rig
+ Conditional suitability for simple holes with the drill
+ Neat services through 140 W motor
+ Recommend the comfortable speed adjustment over a wide range
+ Machine swiveling
+ Quiet operation
+ Reduced price for combination
- Frightening labile construction to the last detail
Can be used sparingly with chuck (shank> 5mm OK) -
- For the milling machine emigrate impossible

The "Proxxon bench drill TBM 220" is the smallest such device, but brings even 3.3 kg on the scales. Not only the drill table (220 x 120 mm) is made of diecast aluminum, but the entire (!) Housing. Only the cover of the drive belt is of plastic. The column is solid and measures 20 x 340 mm, is clamped the housing by means of two stable support at the back. There is a sliding stop on the drilling table, the stressed cross little yield. Although the engine has only 85 watts, plays the torque but in a completely different league. There are only three speeds, which is adjusted by a belt awkward assignment: 1,800 / 4,700 / 8,500 tours are available. With 4,700 tours you can hunt uninhibited with a 6-mm-milling drill through pinewood, with 1,800 revolutions a minute can be mild steel drill to a maximum of 5 mm. I recommend the "Röhm" -Bohrfutter (3/8 inch), which is sold directly from Proxxon, it spans a longer and 0.5 to 6 mm in the engine makes no sense. The quill and so ultimately the tool have no game, even extended fully moves almost nothing. Although you can hear the springs work in lowering the tool, but everything is out sick and precise. The engine is loud as the "Dremel" -Kombi but drowned out for deeper and remains altogether acoustically inconspicuous. The belt should be replaced conveniently and can be stretched simplest.

Overview "Proxxon
Drilling and milling + unrestricted suitability for
+ Strong motor (max. 5 mm in mild steel)
+ Quiet operation
+ Solid construction made of diecast aluminum
+ Wertig to the last detail
- Speed ​​adjustment cumbersome
- Only three speeds to choose from
- Higher price

For the money the "Proxxon" you get 1-2 cheap bench drills from the hardware store, which show off several hundred watt and many speeds. But these things make an amazing noise, the quill / management game is clearly visible and for finer work these are simply built to "cheap".
