Micro Table Saw

[Xraycer]

No, that is not a giant soldering iron. I found this little guy at Harbor Freight. Man, this thing would have made my life so, so much simpler when I was making the wooden truck bed for my FMS Atlas.
Just tested it out on some popsicle sticks. It did a nice job, and the unit was actually very sturdy due to the solid metal base and beefy motor. No flex on the table top either.
This little table saw should come in super handy to build small scale wooden structures, such as bridges, on my crawling courses.

Great to know. I've been having the micromark one in my mind.

My k20 I used a dremel some, and a razor blade for alot.

That’s pretty neat, what size blade does it take?

Edit: never mind, it says 4” I see.

Just watch those fingers, nice find!

Id put a much finer tooth blade on it for really small stuff like popcicle sticks. Thats pretty dang cool though.

That Microlux one is pretty sweet, but way, way over my budget. This one at $38 is perfect!

Wow. That's a steal for $38. I might have to convert a bedroom to a tiny woodshop!

I work in the medical care, so I'm all too familiar with table saw accidents. I believe it's still ranked #1 in regards to power tool accidents.

It cut popsicle sticks fine, but a finer tooth blade would be ideal. I'm not sure if that's even available for this saw. I'll have to investigate.
I got a nice surprise when I found a diamond tip blade was included.

Heck yeah! Harbour Freight also has the micro belt sander and I believe a drill press and scroll saw.

You should be able to find other 4in blades for it. Assuming that they mount like other normal 4in blades. Either way though, its a cool little tool. Kinda makes me want one too

I don’t own one of these but bet the 4” angle grinder saw blades will fit. There’s just about every type imaginable. Nice saw.

I have one myself @Xraycer and they are handy. My blades dulled pretty quick when cutting popsicle sticks but works great with balsa.

So, do you have fine tooth blades?

Those sound super cool too, I’d be down for the belt sander and drill press for sure!

I don't remember honestly and it's stuffed in a box somewhere now. You should also know that I used to cut thousands of sticks a week.
