so they copied the micro-mark “wondercutter” tool

$250 bucks, CRAZY!

Not having to apply finger force will save many delicate and brittle parts from damage. I was skeptical when read about it, but seeing it in action is helpful. Good video.

They got this idea from this old Tony who built one a few years ago

It sounds very similar to a workshop multi tool - albeit scaled down. 5:15: I suspect the residents of Luxembourg would not like to be told that they live in Germany? :)

What a scam for an overpriced piece of junk.

In other words it's a mini oscillating tool.

Looks useful for cutting of those teeny parts that always break with nippers. Otherwise, I’m hard pressed to find a use for this. Proxxon does make quality tools though, I have several. And they’re actually made in Germany, not China like everyone else’s.

You got me interested in Lifecolor paints. Fortunately I live near AAA Hobbies in Magnolia, NJ and they carry the line. They're the retail store associated with Mega Hobby. Nice vid

Try this on a 1/35 scale lol

Inspiring. Way back in the day I was using Tamiya exclusively for my WW2 armor and characters. Now I like Vallejo, but it's sometimes difficult to secure in the states

Interesting. We've been using devices similar to this in surgery for many years for tissue dissection and haemostasis. I would say be careful none the less with resin. It will still generate dust and the associated risks are still very real. 👍

Does this also work with RC 1:16 metal chains with this BURNISHING FLUID ?

Luxemburg is a very small European country 😅

€400 is an obscene amount of money for a tool like that. If you’re rich and using it for business type purposes maybe, if it does save a significant amount of time/money. To me, it looks chunky and unwieldy. The flex would drive me nuts, and looking at what he’s doing with it, doesn’t make me want to run out and buy one. Big nope from me.

I have a the Proxxon Micromot, with variable controller, and I love it. This, as others have said, is a ludicrously expensive tool for a problem that doesnt exist. Not only that but in the video it looks like hes still struggling (shaking, jerking) to get the blade through, and has to resort to a manual 'sawing motion' to make any progress. Then when the cut is made, it looks like a butchered dogs hind leg. If I'm going to carry out a 'rough' cut, then I'll reach for my sub £10 cutters or saw, job done. Then there's the noise... teeth rattling, agh!!! Sorry, but I just dont get it at all.

400€ ? 🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎👎

Come on dude you surely knows how that technology works 🙄, if you have a wife ask her if you can use her vibrator to test something ( glue a X-ACTO blade on it and there you have it in large scale ) 🤣🤣😂😂👍👍

Proxxon is the Festool for the mini world ; overpriced "good" stuff with a lot of plastic , there a simular ( even better) brands that are a lot cheaper , Proxxon is like Festool for brandwhores that are with open eyes all fall in the trap of those manufacturers 🙄🙄🤦‍♂🤦‍♂👎👎👎👎

He is just demonstrating the tool. This doesn't mean you have to buy one just showing the various uses. Also if you look this item up it has different prices and other companies may have a version. This makes since if you do a lot of modeling . Remember this is a hobby so you are spending money that you have extra anyways. A person can save up if serious or just stay with your technique you have.

I use a number of Proxxon tools and they tend to be priced on the more expensive side, but still within budget, and I've found them to be both reliable and of above average quality. However at this price, this very specialized device is extremely pricey. The pseudo use case of using it on 3D printed resin is sort of a non-issue - supports remove quickly and easily in boiling water - I've printed thousands and thousands of miniatures for people over the past several years and I can't imagine a situation where I am cutting away supports manually. I could see a use case for modelers with arthritis in their hands making cutting difficult and painful so possibly worth the price for those people.

I d like to see how fast and precise you can cut cardboard and how the cut looks like in detail. Can you do some makro shots of different materials?

Sadly it would need to be $100 to be successful. My $15 Ruitool nippers and $1 nano file get me a smooth finish.

Too bad it isn't available in 115V, seems to be only in 230V. Not very handy for modelers who don't have 230V. Hopefully they come out with a 115V model down the road.

I’m thinking this might just be exactly what I need in order to custom-fashion a pair of “leather bat-wings” for a plastic model kit of KISS’s Gene Simmons in full Destroyer-era costume. Apparently the kit manufacturer did not presume that the bat-wings were an important component of his stage costume. The Milliput looks like just the thing I need to make these!

I'm sure I'm not the first or last to say it's a stupidly expensive tool. Wait a few years and you'll be able to get them cheaper from temu

On Aliexpress for AUD$100.00 posted

Yep. Quite a bargain. I’m getting old. That’s $300 less than my first car. For crying out loud! No end of the “inflation” con, eh? That said, no doubt justified by someone with too much money.

Awesome video! I guess this can be used to "glue" arms on fiddly, small points of contact miniature models? I'm new to it as you can probably tell 😅 also ok to paint over?

This is in my "must have" list. Thanks for the review.

Err, Luxembourg is NOT in Germany...

Are you mixing cornstarch with the putty?

Where's the link to purchase in the US?

Another great video and to the point👍💜👍😊

Thanks for this video. Are acrylic paints and/or oils ok to use on resin figures?

Any idea when this will be available in the US?

japan has been using these for years

That company is great!

I wonder how much more developed the technology needs to be? Ultrasonic units have been in dental circles for many years, and can be had for c £200.

This is a game changer,I see one in my future

5:28 - 😳😳😳

Obviously Proxxon believe we modellers are multi millionaires either that or they think we are totally demented , stick to your hand tools ladies and gentlemen , now where did I put my narrow head cutting pliers .

I think I wouldn’t be able to get over the sound it makes. Always reminds me of the dentist 😅

Another Proxxon tool that looks interesting until I see the nice. That is way too much to save me a bit of time with some decent side-nippers and a razor saw. From an engineering side, what on earth is in the base unit - not the power supply because it clearly has an external PSU, and the piezo vibrator has got to be in the hand unit -so what on earth in the base unit, probably very little, I suspect it is little more than a tool holder.

This more a tool for resin parts, and those in to 3D resin printing, which is notoriously difficult to clean using the standard tools used with injection molded kits, and more importantly, resin dust is NOT SAFE and gets every were, that's were this will shine, cutting down, pun intended, on dust. But 400 euro's? 200 euro's and I'll be tempted.

It seems to be a great tool, Micromark in USA has one since a few years, and it is nice to see something from Proxxon for Europe. But for the price it should have a silicon cable to give more freedom of mouvement.

Do these guys know that we're doing this as a hobby? And we have other expenses in our lives.

Well i can barely afford the model kits anymore so.....no. My trusty X-acto knife hasn't failed me yet. Whats next to spend money on? Sonic file? Sonic glue applicator?

Will this cut flesh and bone?

Yeah, great tool...for the elite. Who can afford these tools! Going to have to wait years till they cone close to affordable for the builders who can barley afford the kits alone these days! Greedy bastards.
