5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for precision detail work, November 6, 2009

This review is from: Proxxon 38070 FKS/E Table Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

As an amateur luthier (building guitars), there are some tasks that I do not want to do by hand. I also don't like using large table saws and other large power tools to do small intricate work. This Proxxon table saw is perfect for making bridges, cross cutting or ripping small lumber used for making guitars. It is very precise and easy to adjust. It is powerful enough to cut through rosewood blanks cleanly and the kerf on the standard blade is very thin which again, helps with the precision you can get out of this useful tool. I bought a cheaper brand mini-table saw once before, but it didn't have any guts and the motor quickly burned out. Also, adjusting it was really a pain. This Proxxon FKS/E is great. Another feature I like is the speed control dial for the blade. There is also a little chart in the lower left corner to tell you the settings for the type of material you're cutting. To me you can tell that the designers of this machine had people like me in mind when they made it.

Although this tool is small, please remember that it is a "table saw". Please don't think that it is a toy. You can cut your hand just as easily on this table saw as you could with a big one. It would be very easy to get lulled into thinking you can get away with an unsafe practice because it looks harmless. Think your work through just as you would using a large table saw. Use push sticks, featherboards or whatever to keep safe and stay clear of the blade. If what I just wrote stops even one person from injuring themself, I feel what I just stated is worth it.

This is truly a great tool and helps me make precision parts for my guitars easily and safely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool, June 19, 2008

As a profesional model builder, this is most likely the best tool in my stack...and I have just about every hand tool available. I also use the accurizer fence that is available for this saw. It is most likely the second best tool in my stock.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Table Saw for Micro-surgery, June 19, 2009

There is no such thing as a bad tool. Only one that is used for the wrong purpose. Here is another curious tool from Proxxon that seems to be made almost exclusively for modelers and toy makers. If you are going to make a dining table for a doll house, or a three-inch-tall dresser with functioning drawers, you simply cannot make it with a conventional table saw. I found that model railroad enthusiasts love Proxxon bench tools. But if you are into general woodworking and looking for a tablesaw to fit in a limited work space, this tool is not your solution. This saw can cut softwoods up to only 10 millimeters thick. If you want to make smaller-than-matchbox drawers, earring compartments for jewery boxes and window frames for model train stations, this will be the most useful tool in your workshop. This is a tablesaw exclusively specialized for micro-surgery.
