Table Saw FET for Precision Cuts in Wood, Non-Ferrous Metals, Plastics - Adjustable Blade, Extendable Table, Low Noise Motor, 110-120V AC - 37070

If I could give six stars I would. Superbly designed, more than powerful enough, accurate (except for miter guage), easy (enough) to set up, easy to adjust, and comes with virtually everything you need to get going. There are two things I don't like: the miter guage is loose in its slot (no excuse for this amount of play), and the screws that hold the blade guard in place (inside the saw) are somewhat difficult to access. Note: When you install the blade guard, be sure the metal support (that goes under the table) goes behind the plate before you re-tighten the screws (so the splitter (above the table) aligns with the blade. For me, the saw is worth its high price. I've tried several other much less expensive mini saws but they were all returned because they had too little power, were poorly designed, and were not precise. This saw is in a completely different league.

This is a lightweight, small saw. It cuts up to 1 inch. There's no apparent advantage over a regular sized saw - other than saving some space. The table and saw assembly are solid and precise. The motor is adequate for the size. The included utensils are not accurate. Let me explain the shortcomings and how to fix them. The fence assembly was off by 1 degree (bent back into shape easily). The fence has two fastening mechanisms, a screw and a clamp. The screw is useless (off by a few degrees and not repeatable). The clamp is better, but still not precise enough for rip cuts. I built a custom fence and am happy now. The attached measuring scale is useless and mostly in the way. I'll take it off. The miter gauge is too short and loose. I had to replace it with a different one. The protective plastic cover does not open far enough and makes measurements with calipers or rules difficult. I'll take it off. To sum it all up, the Proxxon product design team delivered a failure, because all included tools are subpar, cheap and useless. Luckily the engineering team delivered a success, because the table & saw is precise, sturdy and accurate well below 1/100 inch. And that is what matters in the end.

I am in the middle of production of a small wooden device (patent applied for) made from many different woods from all over the world. From birdseye maple to cocobolo - a very hard wood from Central America. This marvelous table saw is a saw built for a perfectionist such as myself. Just using the standard 80mm 36 toothed blade that comes with the purchase of the saw is all I need to cut these different exotic pieces - 7/8ths “ strips from 12” to 24” and several cross cuts per piece, without no burrs or burn. The cut pieces only need some surface sanding. The top of the saw lifts like the hood of your automobile. Has an adjustable and precise cross cuts alignment. I could go on and on, but my vocabulary for describing power tools is limited. (I’m a professional lifetime photographer I recommend this beautifully built Proxxon table saw to any master wood craftsman. The only improvement I would recommend is an aluminum insert that leaves only 1mm on either side of the saw blade (to avoid kickbacks) and increase the blade cutting depth to slightly over 1”. LOVE THIS SAW! Happy sawing, ken hare

Positives: Solidly built, great torque, (mostly) great attention to detail, a (mostly) well thought out design. I’ve owned other micro saws and this is by far the best. Two Drawbacks: The indexing scale on the front is either of poor design or just over my head. Either way, I find it nearly useless. This doesn’t bother me however, as I prefer manually measuring and setting the fence anyway. Speaking of the fence…the only real flaw in the unit is that the fence comes out of true (not perpendicular unless very careful when locking it down, and this seems to be because the locking mechanism isn’t quite centered properly. Still, this is easily overcome if careful. Overall, I am very impressed with the unit and consider it well worth the premium cost over others I’ve tried.

This saw has the limitations with the miter gauge as mentioned. It is, however a good saw for working with small pieces of wood. I rip .90" thick hard maple and ebony into 3/16-5/16" strips easily. However, the blade is likely to start oscillating if you feed too fast with wood this thick and cut groves into the side of the pieces. It works better to set the blade to 1/2 the thickness of the wood and make 2 cuts, turning the wood over for the second pass. This is a limitation of the thin blade, not the saw. Quite a powerful motor. The rip fence works well, but does not move in quite the .004" intervals regularly. You have to make a cut then try and ease into a width. It simply does not clamp totally consistently. Stable when clamped though. The miter gauge works very well, as does the shop vac inlet. Still throws around a little saw dust, but much better than without the vacuum. Overall, i would rather have the Byrnes saw, but that is several hundred $ more and does not tilt. This saw is worth the price because of what it can do. Too bad they didn't make the fence a little longer and better.

Well built amazingly accurate. Easy to use and powerful, could cut paper thin strips easily.

I'm on the 3/4 stars fence with this tool. It is very expensive for a small hobby saw, but it is well built and it does what it's designed to do pretty well. The cuts are straight and the power is definitely adequate for my use as a hobby tool for building model sailplanes. Although it is a compact saw, it cuts through balsa, spruce, basswood, and even plywood up to 1/4 inch without any stress. It may even manage thicker wood - I've just not used any. The cuts I get nice and straight when my substrate will fit the angle stop rail, which is where I do 90% of my cuts. That adjustable angle stop works very well for precise angles and I recently built the most precise set of glider tail feathers in my life with it. The footprint is small, but that's what I expected when I got it, and the table extension is actually pretty useful in making it 'bigger' than advertised. It's actually pretty quiet, although the vacuum I run when sawing still makes ear protection necessary. The unit is actually very stable, even without mounting it to my bench. Changing blades is easy (though I don't expect to do that often) and operation is straightforward. But the unit does have some significant limitations. First off I should say I was well warned by other reviewers but still found the limitations irritating. The angle stop works well but is not infinitely flexible and hard to use for some of the cuts I do on longer pieces of wood. The rip fence is removable for such cuts, but there's no table extension on that side of the saw. As with other reviewers, I've found the rip fence is not very stable and will move out of 90 degree alignment with very little pressure on it from the side by the wood being sawed. With very gentle use it can do a good job of ripping, but a little too much pressure on the side and it comes out of position far too easily. I'm unfortunately not as able to just make my own rip fence as another reviewer who noted this, so I'm just limited by its performance. As others have noted, the measuring scale with mitre adjustment has been a BIG disappointment for me, as well. First off, you're warned not to use the rip fence for cross-cutting, which is most of what I do (and with the instability of the rip fence it wouldn't be very useful for cross-cutting anyway). Secondly, I could not calibrate it to correspond to where the blade cuts to save my soul. So I couldn't depend on that even if the rip fence were more stable. Finally, the protective plastic blade cover does not open adequately for measuring and gets in the way of cuts. I took it off and am much happier (but am not recommending this, to be clear. If you also do this, you're doing so at your own risk). It should be better designed. Finally, for such a pricey item it would be nice if it came with additional blades. I've done virtually all my cuts with the HSS blade (250 teeth) and it had to be purchased separately. So the bottom line is that the saw is a keeper for me because I've adapted to its limitations and it does cut nice, straight lines. Moreover, it seems to be the best of a limited set of options since, even if my budget were unlimited, the Byrnes saws are no longer available. But even for this mid-priced saw, I'd hoped for more and I guess I'm not as forgiving as some folks who observe the same limitations but still gave it five stars.

I purchased this with a .20 blade and it works great for frets slots. Does not bog down at all and can cut slots on hardwood necks in no time compared to a long time cutting by hand.

Model workers dream. I am a model railroader and this is a nice to have tool. Been using if for a few months and it does the job very well. No regrets. It is a luxury saw, but well made. Blades prices seem to fluctuate a lot.

de lo mejor que he ocmprado de Proxxon, esta marca alemana combina detalles excelentes para sus productos, tengo granb parte de sus diseños de herramientas para un taller de lauderia y es una belleza trabajar con estos productos, excelnte calidad y my recoemndados, vale su precio y comprar aqui es incluso mas economico que comprarlo directo en proxxon o en tindas en USA.
