If they can offer a smaller sander why not a smaller ts?

i think a small little saw that would cut a 18mm sheet at 90 ' would be enough. i would say that most ts55 cuts are 90' cuts in 3/4 or less material. leave it at ts 25 for that job and get the 55 for the bigger cuts

Never know this year, 2011, has been the year of "Smaller". First we had the "Smaller" Rotex the PO 90. Then we had the 'Smaller" Drill  the CXS.  So how know maybe a smaller TS??

There are some things that simply shouldn't be made smaller.

Sawdust is one; it is harder to control / clean / filter out when the particles are smaller.

Cameras are another; the smaller they are the harder to grip and hold still (my hands shake just enough that I can't get clean handheld shots with those little "consumer" cameras; I *need* an SLR or other large heavy camera -- and people may sometimes wonder why my pictures come out so well compared to the toys...)

Most tools do make sense in multiple sizes... but there is still a practical limit on how small you can make something and still find it useful.

Of course, the opposite is also true... TS1400 anyone?

Proxxon has a few very small tablesaws, see here, under Micromot tools / Table top tools and accessories. Mainly intended for modelling, very good quality tools.

Holy cow!  Very cool stuff.  Can anyone add to this?  Never seen anything like it.  It almost seems like a joke.  10mm diameter blades?

think you mis read tha and read the bore size. the blades are about 80mm

I actually had the Proxxon FKS/E and it was pretty good, especially for very small and precise cuts. Although I had a better aluminum miter and rip fence made (precise to 1/10 of a mm), including an extension for larger sheets and it fitted exactly in one SYS 4.

I don't think you'll find a better micro saw in this price range if you need that degree of precision.

I've sold mine, because the TS55 and the MFT is accurate enough for me, but for architectural or design models, humidors or jewlery boxes..........., it's really usefull.
