I own two Proxxon miniature power tools and they are both amazing. Not "amazing for their size" -- just plain amazing.The mini miter saw is a great addition to any model-maker's or automaton-maker's tool collection (or any work area where space is tight). This miter saw is great for cutting 90 degree and 45 degree cuts in a variety of materials. There are detents every 15 degrees for cutting a range of angles.
The saw has a really clever integrated clamp to hold the material and ensure that your cut stays on the mark. There is also a built-in stop to help you cut a bunch of pieces to the same length. Nice.
As with Proxxon Miniature Table Saw, these miniaturized tools are clearly not toys; they are solid and exceed one's expectations in terms of performance. Seriously, the mini table saw can make a clean cut in 3/4" hardwood and it's barely bigger than a toaster.
The truly handy thing about owning the miter saw AND the table saw is that they use the same blades. You can get a variety of blades for slitting, cutting wood, and cutting metals. I have found the miter saw mounted with an abrasive blade for non-ferrous metals to be a great way to cut brass rod and bars to length.Check out all the details on the Proxxon Mini Miter Saw and the Proxxon Miniature Table Saw
Hi, I've stumbled across your blog at the google's results. The thing is, are those little things suitable to cut ~2-3 mm steel wire?
ReplyDeleteAlso, are there durable blades to do this over and over again for about 5-10 thousands of cuts without completely dulling down?
I never knew what a miter saw did – great review! I am ignorant with power tools so any guidance helps
