heppnerguy Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Some of my plans changed this weekend and I was able to do some cutting on the Proxxon saw that was so generously sent to me for free by Randy. HWhen I got the box, I was surprised at how small this saw really was. I assembled it last night and my first thought was,"This is going to be a fun one for blade changes." I was beginning to think I needed to be a contortionist just to do something as easy as that should be. I did a couple of cuts last night on it and came into the house thinking that I would be passing this one on very quickly, but part of the deal was that I had agreed to cut on it for a minimum of Two hours, and I am a man of my word, or at least I try to be, so this morning I went back to the shop and finished cutting the little pattern I had started last night. To my surprise I found that I was able to change my blades between cuts quite easily and I did not need to be a contortionist after all it went much better as time went along. I found I was actually starting to enjoy this new machine already I thought I would post some of the things I liked and disliked about the saw so....... Dislikes The blower is useless I would not wish to cut anything thick on it You need to use it only for small patterns I could not get the spiral blade to even cut on it The initial blade changing sucks but from cut to cut it is working out well Likes It does allow a smooth and easy cutting experience, once you remove the hold down foot It does not vibrate if you bolt it down It could be easily transported if you wished to do some light work away from home So far that is my take on it. I still have to put more time on it to give a good review. Getting familiar with it is my first priority.
