Title: The new saws work fine.
Post by: Dawie on July 22, 2010, 10:43:50 am
Hi there,
In another thread I told you that the activity centre I go to ordered 2 new saws. Today I got to try them. They are both the same. Two Proxxon DSH. It's a nice little saw and has very little vibration. I cut some pine and it was cutting through butter. The only drawback is it does not have a variable speed button. There are 2 speeds fast and very fast. But for the price super little saw.

Good one David and yes some photos would be nice, we get the proxon brand in NZ but not the saw
mainly the carver is the only thing available

I forgot to take my camara yesterday, will take it along on monday and take some pics. Russ your price must be about right we paid 175 euro a piece that's $225. This included delivery and 12 blades per saw. Jimbo Proxxon is about the only affordable saw for me. We get the Hegner but they start at 600 euro and just found a place that sell De Walt but they too start around that price.
