This long desired project is finally finished. Now I can clean-cut metal, plastics or wood stock easily and with minimal loss. I think everyone working on small parts must have one. The idea Some time ago I was working on my cnc lathe and get tired of my options to cut stock, so I decided I needed a mini table saw before continue. My start point was a 1/4″ 51x17cm aluminum plate, a 1/15 hp ac/dc Dayton motor, three proxxon saws, and, of course, the Proxxon micro saw as a reference design. Building I began designing key elements: the table itself, the motor mount and the saw rotating support. One of the tricky steps was to cut the aluminum rectangle to size and square it.

Fence was made of delrin and aluminum, and has two locking screws. Angle guide was made of delrin and a 1.5×12 mm brass bar. Timing pulleys and belt are 3mm pitch / 9mm wide HTD, and were ordered at sdp-si.com, an awesome site. A dust receptacle it’s a must, as without it you get a mess of chips lying around. Testing.
