Proxxon is one of the best brands of power tools for wooden models, modeling and miniature hobbyists, if not the best. Proxxon manufactures many power tools and machine parts for wood and metal such as milling machines, mini grinders or lathes .
The Proxxon KS 230 small table saw contains a very quiet 85 W universal alternating current (AC) motor inside it. A toothed belt transmits the motor's movement to the shaft on which Proxxon's small 58mm Super Cut blade is mounted, with which you can cut softwoods up to 8mm thick .

Weight approx. 1.8 kg
The Proxxon KS 230 small table saw is very good for hobbyists, models and craftsmen who want to make miniatures like the ones on display in the Professor MAX museum in Brihuega . Additionally, it is also useful for electronics assembly projects as it can cut printed circuit boards up to 3mm thick. And it is also suitable for cutting metal sheets up to 1.5 mm thick (as long as they are not iron or steel). And if the disk is replaced by one whose teeth include hard metal plates (widia), it also works to cut computer plates.
The Proxxon mini saw weighs 1.8 kg and rotates at 5000 rpm when unloaded. It works with direct supply to the 230 V electrical network, unlike other mini-tools in the Proxxon micromot range such as the Proxxon Micromot 50 E / F electric drill , which requires a 12 V power supply.
This precision saw includes a graduated, lockable angle bracket (the protractor). Its cast aluminum table is slotted to the right and measures 160x160mm.
I have to admit that if it weren't for the negative opinions about the clearance of the Bosch GTS 635-216 saw, this would be one of the best table saws in terms of performance and price.
Includes: Bosch GTS 635-216 circular saw, 22 tooth optiline wood blade, push stick, parallel fence, graduated fence, blade guard
Powerful table saw with the best cutting capacity in its class, thanks to its powerful 1600 W motor
70mm (90 °) cutting height and 635mm slitting capacity
Improved safety and comfort through easy start system, blade guard with automatic closing system, safety switch, vacuum system and light weight (22 kg).
Without load, the drive of the Bosch GTS 635 rotates at a maximum speed of 5500 RPM, powered by the 1600 W electric motor. With the help of the crank you can adjust it up to 45º to the left. The shaft of the saw is 30 mm in diameter, in case you consider replacing the disc with one that cuts finer, that is, one that has more teeth.
Regarding the cutting height, it is as follows:
For right angle cuts: 70 mm
For 45 degree angle cuts: 50mm
The saw weighs 22 kg and is easy to transport. This is its main advantage. Its base structure is tubular and does not include legs. However, it can be attached to an auxiliary table: the GTA 560 Bosch Professional work table (Bosch reference 2 608 838 410). This folding frame measures 682 x 728 x 564 and leaves the cutting surface of the GTS 625-216 table saw at a height of 90 cm (896 mm to be exact).
