Summary

The Proxxon 37160 KGS 80 MICRO Chop Saw does not compromise on quality. Although it is a little bit expensive but that accounts for its various features and multi-functionality. You won’t get a machine this much feature full in such a price.

Chop saws are the best portable saws. They have many functions of saws combined in one piece. The Proxxon 37160 KGS 80 MICRO Chop Saw is an amazing chop saw with many features. The machine is small, compact yet a comfortable one. It features a tightening mechanism as well as front and V side grooves for multiple shaped pieces.

This power tool has many added safety features too which make it the best one for you. Do read this honest piece of the word on this machine so you may select a good one.

Quiet motor

Most of the electrical items and not only saws produce a lot of noise when they are being worked with. This not only increases the noise pollution level but it is also discomforting for the user as well as the people around him/her. However, if you have a Proxxon KGS 80 MICRO Chop Saw, you would not have to face this problem because the motor of this machine delivers a high speed of 4000 RPM, yet it is quieter and less nosier than ever before. This makes it easy to work with.

Plastic blade guard

Most of the electrical saws offer the bevel cuts nowadays but these bevel cuts are rather unsafe for beginners because the sharp blades have no blade covers. This might hurt the user while working. The Proxxon 37160 chop saw solves this problem, too! The sharp blades of the machine are covered by a plastic blade guard.

The plastic material is translucent so you can see the line of cut too, although not so clearly, but still you can and the amazing thing is that the cover will automatically swing up when required thus, adding to your safety. The 24-tooth carbide tipped blades would rip apart common framing materials.

Verdict

The Proxxon 37160 KGS 80 MICRO Chop Saw does not compromise on quality. Although it is a little bit expensive but that accounts for its various features and multi-functionality. You won’t get a machine this much feature full in such a price. Trust us, it’s the best deal for you, however, the blade guard problem was reported by nearly every user and that the blade guard hinders the line of cut which decreases the precision, considerably but that was reported by amateurs.

The experts said it to be a good one with some improvements required. The versatile machine was still able to earn a high ranking of 4.4 out of 5 stars.
