Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)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.
