Thank you for reviewing this mini table saw. I've been intrigued by the advertisements on several brands. Now I know that most of them probably aren't worth buying. I have a low tolerance for too much fiddling around to make simple cuts. I'm also naturally quite clumsy, so the risk of injury is increased. Your tiny chair project is super cute!
Thanks for the review, I’ve thought about purchasing it, but, the thing that really did it in was not being able adjust the saw blade up/down and that Dremel type flex cable flopping around, I know I would be wearing it as a bracelet eventually, just the way I roll. 😮😊😂😂, thanks again, enjoyed watching.
I have this mini table saw and i dont like everything running at the same time as well but it is nice for making tiny dollhouse room boxes and dollhouse furniture
I wish Dremel would make an updated version of their old 580 table saw. It was a 4" table saw but actually worked really well. I have a 580-1 with a cogged belt conversion, so no belt slippage at all compared to the factory smooth pulleys, with the toothed pulleys and belts it makes a huge difference. The only thing out there now is the Microlux 4" table saw.
I bought one of these little saw tables. This one came out afterwards, mine didn’t come with the Dremel tool just the polishing sanding part but yeah, the blade doesn’t adjust up or down, I thought that one was supposed to adjust up and down. I seen one showing that it did.
To me, the spinning side wheel is the scariest part. Does the clear acrylic guard rotate? I was wondering if you could position it over the sanding wheel instead of the saw table. Also hanging the Dremel attachment might help. I've been looking at these myself. Nice to see a good in-depth video about it 👍
First thought: hell no. You covered the dangers nicely. That saw fence is a huge issue, as is the cover ‘glass’. There is no real way to hold a piece down and push it forward with that cover, and the fence not staying parallel to the blade can cause kickback if the work is being pushed into the blade on the rear. I have a contractor saw that has issues like that, and it’s scary to run against the fence (even triple checking from the miter slots). If the fence could be stuck against something in the track(epoxy maybe) to prevent rotation of either top or bottom and the cover removed, it could work ok. An alternative would be to tighten up the miter gauge with layers of blue tape to fill the gap. If you could use the miter gauge to cut off of, the guard and fence wouldn’t matter much. A push stick for the offcut side would help.
Depending on what you intend to make, a dedicated table saw and sander are probably safer. I use my handheld belt sander upside down in a wooden screw clamp or a vise a lot for shaping things; I seldom ever use it as a hand held unless it’s going to be rough work.
@jennercustomtoys assembly is easy for you! I'm an old lady who is used to good directions. All they include is a couple pictures and with all the parts, I can't even figure out what goes where! But I do love your video.
Thanks for answering them. You are correct. I just don't advertise products that I can't support in real life. These mini table saws worry me when it comes to safety issues. Especially for a beginner.
I saw them saws last year and asked my wife about getting one. I'm kinda glad I didn't now. They don't care about safety in other countries like we do. I don't like that everything runs at the Sametime ether.
@@clydenicholson757 on this model it does not move up and down. And whether or not you have the attachments on all of the connections move at the same time.
I bought thus a month ago and after assembling my husband came into the room and said hell no. He's a carpenter and I'm new to using power tools so it's going to take a lot of modifications to address the safety concerns. I'm not going to say it's a disappointment because my husband is using it a lot for cutting trim but I won't recommend it for someone new to saws.
you should try the burns mini saw, lot mor safe. and a lot better saw. that thing is not a good saw. hope you did not pay to much for it. maybe 20 bucks...

@@andyrichey1192 yeah I was disappointed about that too.
Watched just for the assembly...skips assembly 😂
It took way too long to put it together, I wanted to review the operation.

@@InTheFramePod yes. It rotates.
Does the cutter run with no sanding wheel and dremmel on it? Surely that would be safer?
@@obirobkenobi3599 yes but for what I do it's very inconvenient to disconnect them and reconnect when needed.

@@liquidrockaquatics3900 yeah. It's dangerous as hell.
Thanks for sharing this I have now decided that I want something safer being new to this.

That AI intro downright creeped me out.
Yeah I was expecting some old guy in his workshop not AI followed by some old guy in his workshop. What was even the point of that??
Yeah, it's what I do.
if i had a tabletop saw...i would want it to have adjustable height and angles instead if fiddly dremmelish tools and a sander
You don't have a Dremel tool, you have a rotary tool.
This tool goes by many names with many craftsman. Do you feel better about yourself for being a Mr. Know it all?
Yeah 😮so many mini tools firms knock out 😮in China 😮 it's really hit and miss 😮 recommendations from fellow hobbiests is probably best 😮
Where is the assembly footage? That was what i was really hopinh for
Assembly for this is easy. I reviewed the actual operation.

Excuse me, how far along in this do you actually say what it is - you know - brand, where you got it etc.
i have one just like this and its called a Saker Mini Table Saw

You DONT LEAVE ALL TOOLS AT SAME TIME AND THE BLADE DOES MOVE UP AND DOWN READ THE DIRECTIONS !!!!

@@alycereasland1696 I totally agree, this is not for a beginner.
Another piece of junk.
@@oldbottlehunter4273 pretty much.
