Proxxon 27006 Table Saw KS 230, 85 W, 230 V, (L x W x H) 240 x 180 x 80 mm

Excellent small bench saw.

Bought this desktop circular saw after reading the reviews. Absolutely no faults found, does 'what it says on the can' and more. I use it for my hobby building large scale RC aircraft. Cuts well and accurately, even very light metals, anything up to 1/2 inch is OK. After three months of continuous use the blade is still sharp. Thus performance is excellent for the size, price and basic features. Recommend it thoroughly if you are seeking the basics at a good price.

used it several times now, works well, although the blade and fence are offset, this causes around 1-2mm difference and does not cut square.

I am in the process of building an Street Organ and have a need for various tools.But making over a hundred pipes by hand, each pipe needing between 12 and 15 parts each, is a little suicidle.So i bought this small table saw to do the job.Bad points first:- Blades are a little expensive and do go blunt quicker with harder woods. Other than that, no bad points.Good Points:- Small, easy to use and if used correctly does an excellant job.In short, a tool that will be much used and much loved.Now if only i could find..........................

I saw this reviewed in RCME Magazine and bought one. I build and fly radio controlled model aircraft and this machine gives me the power to make precision cuts in wood from balsa up through plywood to hardwood engine bearers. The angle attachment may look flimsy but it works and gives cuts at that awkward angle all models seem to have somewhere and the ability to strip balsa saves money. The machine doesn't take up a lot of space on the work top. It's early days yet so can't say anything as regards longevity but so far I am pleased.

Just what I needed

I use this bench saw regularly for my aero-modelling and more! It is easy to store easy to get out and use and that is why it is used so much.As others have mentioned the blade is the failing, However get a tungsten blade and you will never look back. they last forever. I am still using the first I bought and have replaced 5 standard blades in quick time.I use it for cutting hardwood strips, formers, firewalls.It gets used so much because it is so easy to use.If you are looking at this you are obviously interested or contemplating one, all I can say is buy it you will not regret it all, but get the tungsten blade as well.

Far too flimsy. Says it gives a maximum cut of 8mm, 6-7 is more like it. It overheats easily and blows the attenuator which requires a strip down and a 13p replacement. I have done it three times now, and now the motor has given up. A replacement motor is £70 - £80 for a tool I only paid £90 for. In any case it is a cheap Chinese motor which cannot be split to find the problem so it is over priced really as well. I wouldn't mind but it certainly hasn't been worked hard at all to keep giving these problems.I have spent more time taking it to pieces than using it. My maximum cut was 7mm, and it certainly doesn't like 6mm ply. The only good thing about it is that when it is working the narrow circular blade gives a clean cut.I won't be buying any Proxxon items anymore if this is an example. Pay a few more pounds and buy a band saw which I think is what I should have done in the first place, but this looked like what I wanted. Pity, it isn't.Here is a photo of the attenuator, it is at the bottom, it looks like a resistor, but it isn't. If you get one of these machines, get some attenuators off ebay, you might need them.
