heppnerguy Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Here is another piece that I just went out to the shop and cut. I am not putting these in the bragging tab because I am only practicing and really not interested in making keeper pieces. These are just going into the garbage so I am not concerned with finishing any of them. What i am discovering from this about the saw is that it works quite well with thin wood. I have not tried anything thicker a Than 1/16 inch BB PLY so far. I am going to give it a test on 1/2 inch next and then see how it does with that. It does not have a very powerful motor in it so we will see how it performs on some of that. The saw might be good for ornaments and small projects. So far I like it pretty well for them Dick heppnerguy Scrolling Steve and WigWag Workshop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted July 24, 2016 Report Share Posted July 24, 2016 Dick, you seem to be able to cut alright with this little saw, this ornament looks great. Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heppnerguy Posted July 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It is vibration free. I was able to place a nickel on edge while it was running and it stayed there just fine... Not sure about your question, Kevin, but I know it does not have a lot of power, for sure. I am going to go cut another piece from 1/4 inch ply and see how it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meflick Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I agree with Len, ornament looks good. Glad to hear vibration is not an issue with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ike Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 There once was a wood store in Milford . It close down. they had a Proxxon the owner said that he cut a piece of popular 1/2 thick, but from what I saw it didn't have the power but he said that it would. It was quiet and vibration free and you I put a nickle on it and it stayed there while it was running. if I made only Christmas decorations I would lie to have one.
