Very nice explanation. I was also having the requirement of the same and was thinking to purchase it since long but wanted to know the complete idea of the instrument. Thank you so much for giving full details.
I've been chewing on this little gem for more than a year. After watching this video...I'm leaning in to buy it. Being a woman, I'm not keen at all to use the table saw in the garage. Years ago I built a couple of bluebird houses. It was so much fun, I started getting creative and began incorporating the Victorian age embellishments. I bought dollhouse shingles from Hobby Lobby and they dressed them out really adorable. My bluebirds nested in them every year. Back then, I had someone that would cut the pieces I needed. Today, I don't have that. This looks PERFECT. I have the latest Circut machine but it will not cut balsa or basswood more than 1/16 thick so this would LOOKS like it would do the job and then some. I heard this mini table saw will cut up to 1 1/4 thick wood. Do you think it can?
It sounds like you are a very creative person, and this little table saw is perfect for creative hobbies. I purchased it to cut small pieces of wood and metal, and the jig you see in the video is for making repetitive cuts simple and quick. If you want to step up from the Circuit machine this will cut up to ½” soft wood without any problem. No, my little table saw would not be able to cut 1 ¼” wood for two reasons. Firstly, the blade height is only 5/8” so cutting up to ½” is no problem. Secondly it only has a tiny motor, and you could easily burn out the motor by trying to cut a large piece of wood. If you are looking to purchase one of these little table saws, check the maximum blade height as this will give you some idea of the size of the wood it will cut. Making birdhouses is a lot of fun, especially the ones I made with my grandchildren. I have a video on this channel of a large 24 room bird condo I made a few years ago. Let me know what you decide to purchase and how it works for you.
I have had one for over a year, and what a great help!!! The cuts are perfect (PCB designs), and I have the other one to cut aluminum plates for noise shielding so I do not have to be replacing blades. For what I use, it is great and amazing!!!! An idea to you, 😂Sr/ All, you can install a pedal (switch), so there is no need to use the switch in the saw. I also added to my little ones a little car vacuum activated with the same pedal switch, which works beautifully. You can get the mini drill also, just saying!!!😂 Great demo, Sr.
Pablo, thank you for the great ideas, I especially like the foot pedal switch. If anyone else has helpful suggestions please add to the comments below.
Love the additions you made . I would suggest you get a set of ball drivers , makes the job much easier .. I build r/c aircraft and this would be great for me .
Hey Rod, thank you for the nice comment, yes, I have a set of ball drivers, just did not think to use them during the demo. I would think this would be an ideal piece of kit for an r/c aircraft builder.
Hi Paula, I have never had that problem. Here are a couple of suggestions. Make sure you have the arbor clamp the correct way round. Also insert a small Allen Key into the hole under the blade as you tighten down on the center Allen bolt. I hope this helps.
As the fence is only a rough guide and the work piece will be to wide, don't move the fence I use electrical insulating tape and stick it on the face of the fence then re-cut the same part, also masking tape works well for sneking up to a given size
Yes, it is rather loud. It is not very powerful and does not have a lot of torque, but it might be perfect for cutting Kumiko strips. Possibly try some different blades to get the perfect cut.
The common blade you are using is good for aluminium. There is a better blade for the wood, that would be the rip saw blade. You will cut that aluminum like butter with the main blade you are using. I saw you struggled and thought you could not cut it. You can't with the blade you used... Also Make sure you turn up your voltage a bit on the power supply... This is a great table saw!
Surely sonebody makes a mini-saw with the accesories needed, so you don't have to design and build them yourself. Ì just ordered a Rockwell Bladerunner V2, which uses an upside-down scroll blade, but comes with the accesories.
@@BrightSparkIdeas I'd still like a small tabletop saw with a 4 or 4.25 blade I could leave sutting on the other end of my 12 ft workbench, but only two brands seem to have a quality fence and adequate table surface.. Both of them cost more than some 8.25 inch compact jobsite saws. So, I'll have to go to my 10 inch DeWalt jobsite saw when neither the Rockwell Bladerunner X2 or my Ryobi handsaw will not do the job adequately and safely.

Thank you, it is a very helpful and versatile saw, excellent for small projects and hobbies.

How's this table saw holding up? I was interested in buying this one but has mixed reviews on Amazon.
Hi, I do not use this very often and only for cutting very small pieces of soft wood. So far it is working very well.
My blade keeps coming loose. Could I be doing something wrong or just not getting it tight enough?

Thank you, great advice.
that thing is loud! I'm looking for a mini table saw to cut Kumiko strips. don't want to use my standard table saw as these strips are tiny!

Did you find something in the end? I want a saw for the same reason but really don't have space for a full-size table saw.

Mike, thank you, I appreciate the advice. Yes, it is a great little saw.
Nice review. You're accent sounds cross American and Australian ?
I was born in England, but have now lived longer in the USA, so who knows what you can call my accent 😊

The Rockwell BladerunnervV2 looks like a great addition to the workshop.

I bought one of these and ordering blades from china and it will take the 3mm thick blade
Not had to order blades yet, but that you for the advice.
scrub up a used blade stick sandpaper on it.......sanding disc .....reuse again and again
David, what a great idea, thank you for sharing. I will have to give it a try.
@@BrightSparkIdeas you are most welcome. i just use a surface contact adhesive 2 bits of wood one for each side and a good clamp happy sanding
You don't even know what you wanted. This is nonsense!
