Great skills' If you enjoy spending a lot of time trying to make and expensive toy into something else. There are many other brands that do what you are creating , out of the box. The older model that Microlux sells, made in Japan is a better machine. Thank You
This is proof that you need a Sherline or Proxxon mini mill & lathe! Then you could make your own in whatever style you desire! Hope you’re doing well, as I haven’t seen any new posts from you in a long time!
@@user-oh4nq8kv4i thank you. I found out late on. bought a similar one from ali... it has height adjustment . (I'm tring my best to limit buying chineese made products :( )
Thanks for just another helpful video from your side! Your FET videos helped me a lot. One question about the DH40 Thickness planer: Is it possible to insert timber which is grooved (90° cross feed direction) on the upside? I guess the licker-in and the feed roll are on the upside and the grooved side which I want to reduce thickness is also on the upside. Even if I would have to push it in manually would be okay to me. I just fear that the edges of the grooves might get disfigured...
Hello Harri, how are you? I thought the idea and project were excellent, I would like to know if you could provide me with the project measurements. I live in Brazil. Thank you for this. Big Hug Ricardo Santos
Hello! Do You think that KS 230 could handle guitar neck fret slot cutting? Could you set the height of the blade to 3mm? Could it cut thicker wood (rosewood, ebony, etc.)? Thank you!
You cannot adjust the height of the blade in this saw. Slot cutting is no problem but you have to come up with a sled like Harris to set the appropriate height. Hard wood is no problem for it. As long as your not pushing too hard / deep
The motor cooling air is exhausted directly into the blade housing. With nlwhere else to go, the exhaust air then travels straight down onto the workpiece, and blows sawdust all over the inside of the garage. The dust collection funnels and vaccum attachment port are merely a formality.
Yea we’re liking this…there’s an analytical mind at work here, glad to see individuals crafting beautifully made art. For m my sins I make miniature rocket lamps and you’ve shown me a couple of methods that may well find their way into future rockets.
You abandoned the riving knife, right? It's a pity. The riving knife is like 1,1 milimeter and the 36 teeth blade is like 1,6 milimeter :( This way it cannot work. But seems with the feather board is quite safe
Was using such a machine in the garage this afternoon, and was inspired to check its alignment. The azimuth is easy to set up; just loosen the screws, slew the saw to 90°, and tighten the screws again. As for the "leaning" function, that requires a pair of 10mm wrenches, a mattress to kneel on (to keep the work at eye level), and no small supply of patience. Tedious, but manageable My one real "gripe" with this saw must be that hot air from the motor is exhausted into the blade housing, such that dust is blown absolutely everywhere, making it a very "dirty" tool, and generally unsuitable for indoor use for this reason.
I've got the cheapo Micro Mark MicroLux mini table saw with a fixed blade. I'd have to make a jig to cut grooves since I can't lower or raise the saw blade. I do like the sled you made. Works very well with precision cuts. I use my saw mostly for making HO scale lumber for my railroad. Cheers from eastern TN
Hi, Just bought the Proxxon Fet table saw and have been watching youtube for ideas on how to build a cross cut sled, yours looks to be one of the better sleds, just wondering if you have any plans for making it and also what size are the aluminium tracks and where did you buy them from, thanks in advance and keep up the good work, THANKS
I don't have any drawings, but you can find all measurements in the videos on the channel. The aluminum rails are curtain rails bought from the curtain shop JYSK, which is available in many countries (they are cheap and work well)
I think that was the most informative video I’ve ever watched, without the dude uttering a single word!!! 🤣 Just what I needed to help design a work bench around my Bosch Mitre Saw! Thank you good sir!
A great improvement to what is a flawed and seriously overpriced item - one would have thought that Proxxon would have addressed the shortcomings of the saw given all the negative reviews and feedback that are out there - or because they are purchased despite the inherent shortcomings, Proxxon turns a blind eye and just takes the money. I just purchased their hot wire cutter - which has , not surprisingly , a completely inadequate , poorly toleranced fence. The fence is intrinsic to the precision of an otherwise great product, but despite negative feedback over several years, has not been resolved. Proxxon should be ashamed - it is not the " German Engineering " they advertise.
I use the system and think it works well but there are some things I would like to improve, the biggest problem is cleaning the saw, the saw cannot be opened without removing the seat. I to find a solution.
I have one of these B&D power files and it keeps throwing belts off. It doesn’t matter how I adjust the belt adjuster? Is it just worn out? Do I have to buy another one?
Very nice work. I think it is mostly useful for grinding dust, drilling is not really a problem unless I drill a lot, and in that case I run the vac a few times during the work to clean the area. The chuck is a big problem for this machine. It's a crappy chuck made for impact hand drills, not for bench drill machines. I changed mine, and that upgrade is really necessary for this machine. During all the years after the change I never had any issues with the chuck, the drill bits never ever fell out in the middle of a drilling work and the runout is also much less now. Here is a video about how to change the chuck to a better one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nCqVoaGVK8g.htmlsi=keE4udXOp34wgY5U
Perfect universal language and technical experiment. You are "The Lord of Proxxon FET 27070". I wish my dear wife could be like you when explaining things. I appreciate the serenity and simplicity of your ability to express. and you made me buy a Fet. Loves and respects from Turkey...
can someone tell me if this product has a saw blade with a full kerf 1/8 flat top. Is it that so difficult. I swear make this saw blade size and you will get millions of consumers that are into kumiko projects ]
