PROXXON 38544 Longneck LW/E Mini Angle Grinder – Compact, High-Torque Performance

Compact power for grinding, deburring, and finishing

Meet the Proxxon 38544 Longneck LW/E, a light and compact mini angle grinder designed to replace bulkier pneumatic tools in tight spaces. Its streamlined form fits where other machines struggle, letting you reach corners, edges, and small components with steady control. The unit’s small footprint doesn’t compromise performance, offering a ready-to-use solution for everyday shop tasks that demand precision and calm in confined areas.

The heart of LW/E is a durable permanent-magnet motor that delivers strong torque and a long service life. Paired with full-wave electronic speed control, the grinder responds smoothly across a wide RPM range (3,300–13,000). This makes it suitable for grinding and deburring metal, cutting small parts, or sharpening tools, while reducing the risk of scorching softer materials when you back off the speed. The design emphasizes reliable but quiet operation and a cool-running feel during extended use.

Smart accessories for immediate versatility

• Aluminum-oxide grinding disc, 60 grit — for material removal and shaping
• Flap disc, 100 grit — for deburring, smoothing, and finishing
• Aluminum-oxide cut-off wheel — for precise cutting of small components

All three discs come ready to use, and the system accepts a broad range of compatible replacements. When you need a different texture or material, Proxxon offers options across grits and backing discs to tailor the tool to the task at hand, maintaining flexibility as projects evolve.

What to expect in use

• Lightweight and balanced feel, with a compact 290 mm (11 13/32") body and roughly 550 g weight for comfortable handling
• 2" (50 mm) disc diameter to keep control tight on small components and detail work
• Effective performance on steel, non-ferrous metals, glass, ceramics, and wood (lower speeds help prevent scorching wood)

Technical data at a glance: 110–120 V AC, 60 Hz; 100 W max power; 3,300–13,000 rpm. The grinder is designed in Germany, reflecting careful engineering and build quality. Replacement discs and accessories are available to refresh the setup as needs change, allowing you to scale tasks without changing tools.

In short, Proxxon’s LW/E offers a practical, compact alternative when you need focused control in tight spaces, with capable torque and handy accessories that support a wide range of tasks while preserving workspace ergonomics.
