Distar Polishing Support Adapter for Proxxon Engravers – Universal & Velcro Variants
The Distar Polishing Support Adapter for Proxxon Engravers is a precision accessory that improves stability, reduces tool wear, and speeds up accessory changes on Proxxon long-neck rotary tools. Unlike standard collet setups that increase tool overhang and strain bearings during extended cutting or polishing sessions, this adapter provides a more stable mounting point — extending the life of your LWB/A, LWH, or WP engraver while improving workflow efficiency.
Available in two variants to cover the full workflow: a universal adapter for cutting and grinding, and a Velcro-backed version for quick polishing pad attachment.
Variants
Standard Support — Universal Adapter (SKU: 71419034030)
For cutting and grinding applications. Compatible with Distar diamond discs, Nectar grinding cups, and Soft Edge grinding cups (5.8mm mount).
Polishing Support with Velcro — 50mm (SKU: 71419034031)
Hook-and-loop backing for quick attachment of 50mm polishing pads. Ideal for finishing and polishing work after cutting.
