A revew of the Micro Bandsaw

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with another Proxxon review.  The Micro Bandsaw is a diverse tool in that it can cut steel, non-ferrous metals, wood, plastic, glass and ceramics.








The Micro Bandsaw is "solid, ribbed die'cast aluminum house" that has a table and slot for miter gauges.  The table can tilt up to 45 degrees.   The Bandsaw has a low noise, but high quality motor for quiet operation.   A chart is affixed to the unit indicating the speeds that can be used to cut assorted materials.

It comes pre-assembled and ready to use, but it is easy to disassemble to replace or change the blades.  An assortment of replacement blades are available including a fine tooth blade, a diamond blade and a bimetal blade.   It's small footprint allows the Bandsaw to fit in the smallest of spaces as the table spans only 8".





I easily cut a thick piece of firewood. 


Plywood cut quickly and easily and the cuts were clean.  Only a little bit of sanding would be needed for a finished project.



I also cut plywood creating mitered corners by placing the table on it's 45 degree angle.

I have a number of projects I can't wait to share over the next months. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Nice tool review. I use my proxxon bandsaw all the time for just about everything that needs cutting. It is quick and easy.
