Proxxon mini bandsaw MBS/E


Hi everybody.   It’s Carol here.   I’m back, (sorta) following a unexpected medical issue which has had me sidelined for a little while.   I’m not quite cleared for the shop yet, but I am getting better every day and hopefully it won’t be long before I can get to making again.    Today though, I want to talk to you about one of my favorite tools.   Let’s talk about Proxxon’s mini bandsaw.    Size and power are what makes this bandsaw a standout!

At 12" long, 8 1/2" wide 18 3/4" high and only 15 1/2 pounds  this is an awesome little workhorse.

This is the perfect tool for the crafter/maker in your life.    It is NOT grandpa's let's go make a fence,
build a barn, or construct a deck tool.   But it is the perfect tool for crafting somewhat smaller projects.  For instance, let's make a bird feeder, planter, some jewelry, etc.   How about making your own picture frames?  


Proxxon offers an assortment of various 42" blades that can be used to cut wood, plastic, stainless steel, regular steel and non-ferrous metals.   With the special diamond blade you can cut glass, stone, ceramic, and pc cards.    They also make an extra narrow blade that will function similar to a scroll saw for making tight curves in your workpieces.  

  This is also my go-to tool for all kinds of repair jobs around the house.  This wonderful Proxxon tool has a   7 7/8"  x    7 21/32" worktable and 5 29/32" throat. This powerful little machine can cut materials up to 2 5/32" in height.   It has a variable speed dial to adjust to the material being used, with a chart on the side for easy reference.  A miter gauge which is included adjusts up to a 45 degree angle.  Additionally the table can tilt to a 45 degree angle and complex angles are easily accomplished.

Here are just a few of the projects I have made using Proxxon's mini bandsaw.  


Now it is your turn!    If "it" needs cutting, likely Proxxon's mini bandsaw will do the trick!
And it is fun.
