TOP TOOLS - THE NEW PROXXON MICRO SONIC CUTTER (27300)
A video review to kick off a new collaboration for the channel with high-end tool manufacturer Proxxon.
This film delves into the recently released Proxxon Micro Sonic Cutter (MSC), reference 27300.
I agreed with Proxxon that we should get this video out early as a bit of a channel world exclusive because the tool has only just launched. Full disclosure, they sent it to me free but allowed me to review it as I saw fit and this isn’t a paid promotion. I am a massive fan of Proxxon, having used a lot of their tools for DIY and car maintenance for a number of years. I mention this because this is not a cheap tool, retailing around 400 euros.
Can a tool be worth that and how does it justify the ...

There are definitely some touch areas that are thick I would like to precisely saw, and those would be good with this tool. But not worth the 400 pound price for just that

      I used to buy budget tools (I'm talking DIY/home renovation/automotive not modelling), I'm done with that. I don't want cheap feeble rubbish anymore and I buy the best tools I can, Dewalt, Knippex, Proxxon etc., even if that means I have to save up or pay them off. I'm done with tat, I like tools that are well made and are a joy to use. Same with my airbrushes and spray guns. Proxxon is pricey for sure, but as I say in the film, the cheaper sonic cutter clones aren't really that cheap. Either way, nothing but good experiences with Proxxon in my experience, so far. I don't use Vevor for obvious reasons given what I say above. I have one or two Amazon Basics tools, Lidl and Aldi, those are good and had good reviews, but are often rebranded from people like Bosch or Sheppach (European tool brands and supermarkets). One or twonew-comer competitor brands from China have impressed me, like Gaahleri airbrushes, but most items are cheap and nasty.

    Time is money. So is ease of use. I finally purchased a $400 track saw. I’d had a circular saw for years, with some jigs I could get it to do most things the track saw does. But the speed and ease the track saw offers is a complete game changer for me. I wouldn’t have a need for this tool, but my daughter who works with miniatures might have a use for it someday. It’s a lot of money, but if it really speeds up your work flow, makes it more enjoyable, and it’s a hobby you you’ve already spent hundreds of hours with and plan to spend hundreds more - then the price tag can be worth it.

I have had no issues whatsoever. The bench saw is even still on it's first blade. I can't fault them as far as my experience is concerned. I wonder how many of the less expensive alternatives last that long in constant use. Looks like a handy product for working with resin and styrene.

    I have a sonic cutter and it looks very much like this. The issue I have with it, is it's bulky. If you have a larger print and you need to reach certain areas this won't work. The blade does not stick out far enough to reach. Also, if you have supports on inboard flat surfaces this won't work very well. There needs to be an extended chisel style blade to reach areas where this could really shine.

    My father was a master craftsman in wood, and he made some incredible pieces, marquetry, etc. He would never think of using a power tool for anything. He never owned any tools that needed electricity. It's such a pity that nearly everyone these days, wants to save themselves time and effort, which to me defeats the object of the pleasure of producing something purely on your level of skill. I do like the tool though.
