Chop saw

[Uwek]

Looking at the various commercial miniature chop saws available if found them to be less than impressive. Too much plastic in critical locations and cumbersome in their designs, so I decided to design and build my own.

It's turned out to be very nice to use, rigid and precise. It can cut up to a 1" square piece of hardwood easily. I designed it around a variable speed 1a sewing machine motor, controlled with a foot switch. This is nice as it frees up both hands to work the saw.

COOL
I would buy one of yours - great execution and it is has the appearance of a high quality tool - Very GOOD
Do you make such tools more often - do you have something else????
Great
