The PROXXON LWB/A cordless long-neck angle drilling and grinding unit, code NO 29 805, is a compact professional cordless tool designed for drilling, milling, grinding, polishing and cutting in hard-to-reach areas. Its long-neck angle head allows work inside cavities, corners, recessed points, narrow profiles, installed elements and surfaces where a straight tool or conventional drill would not provide the same level of accessibility. It is a suitable solution for craft work, maintenance, workshops, installation work, technical model making and precision applications.

The product is particularly suitable for tile cutting, but it can also be used on metal, plastic, wood, composite materials and other compatible materials, always selecting the correct accessory for the application. The ability to drill, mill, grind and polish with one tool makes the LWB/A a versatile device for technicians and professionals who need to work on already installed components, difficult areas, narrow spaces or surfaces requiring precise manual control.

The long-neck angle head is one of the most important features of the product. The gear set runs on several ball bearings inside a stable die-cast aluminium housing, contributing to rotational precision, mechanical strength and tool durability. This structure transfers movement to the bit or accessory while keeping the working head compact, which is essential when operating in cavities, internal corners or areas with limited access.

The main housing is made of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide, a material that provides lightness, strength and good stability in daily use. The soft component improves comfort during operation and helps the operator maintain safer control of the tool, especially during delicate or longer tasks. The flat end cap of the battery also allows the tool to stand upright, a practical detail when working at a bench or during frequent accessory changes.

The special DC motor is balanced, powerful, quiet and durable. The continuously variable speed control, with full-wave electronics, allows operation from 5,000 to 16,000 rpm, adapting the speed to the material and accessory used. A lower speed can be useful for controlled work, polishing or heat-sensitive materials, while higher speeds can be used for drilling, light milling or grinding on materials requiring faster material removal.

The 10.8 V battery supply provides freedom of movement and makes the tool practical on site, in workshops, laboratories or at customer premises. The Li/A2 lithium-ion battery with 2.5 Ah provides performance comparable to mains-powered tools in its class and allows prolonged use even at maximum power. According to the product information, one battery charge allows at least 30 minutes of use at maximum power, which is useful for mobile service work, maintenance and applications where a cable would be an obstacle.

The tool length is 320 mm and the weight is 800 g. These values show a good balance between handling, accessibility and operating control. The long neck helps reach points far from the edge of the workpiece, while the low weight reduces fatigue during manual work. This tool is intended for precision operations rather than heavy high-removal tasks, and it offers its greatest advantage when the main problem is reaching the working point correctly.

The supply includes 6 MICROMOT hardened steel collets with 3 segments in diameters 1.0 - 1.5 - 2.0 - 2.4 - 3.0 - 3.2 mm and a clamping nut. The 3-segment collets provide precise and centred clamping of the accessory, which is very important when using small drill bits, cutters, grinding points, discs, pads or miniature tools. Correct clamping reduces vibration, eccentricity and the risk of accessory damage, improving machining quality.

In practical applications, the PROXXON LWB/A can be used for small drilling operations, finishing seats, correcting interference points, grinding edges, polishing localized surfaces, cutting tiles, working on profiles, creating passages, adapting components and working on assembled parts. It is useful for tilers, maintenance technicians, electricians, plumbers, window and door installers, carpenters, model makers, vehicle repairers, body shops and technicians who need a compact and precise tool for jobs where accessibility is more important than absolute power.

The tool is not a measuring instrument and is not used directly to check heights, transmission clearances, form errors or geometry. However, precision in drilling, grinding and finishing can significantly affect assembly quality, component adaptation, profile cleanliness and reduction of rework. Work carried out with the correct accessory, suitable speed and good tool stability allows more accurate and professional results.

For correct use, the accessory should always be selected according to the material and type of operation. Before starting, it is necessary to check that the collet has the correct diameter, the accessory is inserted and tightened properly and the workpiece is stable or clamped. During operation, the tool should not be forced, feed should remain regular, excessive lateral pressure should be avoided and material overheating should be monitored, especially on plastics, tiles, paints or delicate surfaces.

During use, suitable personal protective equipment should be worn, such as safety glasses, suitable gloves, hearing protection and, when required, a mask against dust or particles. During cutting and grinding, it is important to work in an area free from sensitive or flammable materials and always maintain control of the tool. The high-grade polypropylene case allows the tool, accessories, battery and charger to be stored neatly and protected, making transport and professional mobile use easier.

The PROXXON LWB/A is therefore a highly practical technical solution for users looking for a cordless long-neck angle tool that is versatile and precise. The combination of Li/A2 10.8 V 2.5 Ah battery, LG/A2 rapid charger, balanced DC motor, variable speed from 5,000 to 16,000 rpm, die-cast aluminium head and MICROMOT collets makes the product suitable for precision work in difficult areas, both for professional users and advanced hobbyists.
