Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
Yes Vince, that is what I expected.
I am not convinced that the parcel was from the Table Saw supplier in China, particularly as it obviously came via Royal Mail. However, I cannot think how the drill came to be sent. The parcel markings give nothing away & there was no paperwork inside the parcel.
I’ll wait & see what happens!

Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
Surely this is showing up a common problem we all have? My bandsaw copes easily with balsa but not with anything else, I’m on my third one. I have to use my chop saw to get the wood down to smaller sizes and then a small table saw that the fence keeps moving on, it now has a 80 teeth blade and is powerful enough but can’t cope with pressure from the side, the fence just moves.
The Proxxon saws are aimed towards light balsa use and the gap up to tools that get a lot of use is huge. I’ve been working with oak and 10mm ply lately, a good way to kill many power tools and as for a sheet of brass.... Yes, I’ve already been round Axminster tools and caught myself drooling at the thought of a fully equipped workshop but my numbers haven’t given any satisfaction on the Eurolotto.

Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
I've abused my Proxxon saw for many years and it's still going strong. They're fine as long as you're patient when feeding material. The only drawback with them is that the blades don't last for ever.
Makes me wonder where mini table saw pro purchasers will get replacement blades

Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
I have both the Proxon and the Mini Table saw. There are new blades available on eBay, but bear in mind that the Proxon blades are much smaller in size and by definition the tooth ware must be far higher and they don't cut metal.
The Mini Table saw has a speed controller and comes with a load of extra tools and a neat chuck on the side for deburring your cuts with a small orbital sander or anything other use you come up with. The whole lot is only around £90, a drop in the ocean compared to what we are spending on our models/tech.
I don't say Buy One, just giving you options
ps It doesn't make your coffee when in the workshop

Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
Hi Vince
Thanks for posting that. I presume from the spec. that the blade is 110mm diameter with a 20mm bore. Is that correct?
If so, as you said there are plenty of spare blades available.
Think I need one!

Re: Mini Table Saw Pro
I have the proxxon saw which like people say is good on balsa but struggles with ply
with any thickness. Mine died recently so did a search on you tube and came up with
a repair which is to replace the choke part of the electrics. Bought a couple off eBay
and fitted one and all good, cost a few quid.
