Frequently asked questions

What is a mini table saw for?

Mini and hobby table saws (like Proxxon's) are for precise cutting of small, thin materials - modelling wood, dowels, plastics and craft parts - where a full-size saw would be overkill or too coarse. They're not for building work or thick timber, but for fine modelling and craft, they're accurate and easy to control.

Bottom line

Our top pick is the Einhell TE-TS Li Solo (our score 9.0/10) - A capable table saw (portable table saw, cordless (18V)) for straight, repeatable cutting..
