Mixing Paddle 80mm

What does this mixing paddle attach too? We are looking for a mixer that can mix a can of Potting Compound material as well as Silicone material.

The 80mm paddle has a hex shank for use in a standard 13mm (1/2in) capacity drill chuck, the choice of machine it is to be used with is down to the individual to select.

Consideration must be given to the material that is to be mixed when selecting a drill for use with a paddle. Some materials when mixed can cause high drag on the paddle and the drill that is being used, this can result in the drill becoming over heated, causing damage to the drills motor.

If thick materials are to be mixed then it may be wise to invest in a purpose built mixing machine, these use the larger paddles that have a threaded shank that fits directly on to the machine.
