The PROXXON FET is a small precision table saw for model builders, fine mechanics and makers who cut wood, plastic, foam and non-ferrous metal in miniature. Its die-cast aluminium table and frame give it rigidity unusual at this size, and the blade tilts to 45 degrees for mitre and double-mitre work with the angle stop. The micro-adjustable length stop and 22 mm maximum depth suit fine, repeatable cuts rather than full-size timber. Owners rate it highly for accuracy and quiet, clean running, but it is a specialist bench tool with limited depth and a small 80 mm blade, so it is not a substitute for a contractor saw.

Owners of the FET, mostly modelers and small-shop makers, praise its accuracy, rigidity and quiet belt drive. Complaints center on the shallow depth of cut and the cost of adding the special blades needed for harder materials.
The PROXXON FET is a table saw for precise, straight cuts. The blade adjusts in height and tilts up to 45°, so it can make double mitres when used with the angle stop. It is made for fine mechanics, model builders, mould making, toy manufacture, architects, model carpenters and fitters.
All load-bearing parts and the plane-milled table are die-cast aluminium. The table and drive lift for cleaning or changing the blade. A micro-adjustable cut length stop allows cuts as small as 0.1 mm and as deep as 22 mm.
A special DC motor drives the main shaft through Optibelt toothed belts. The shaft runs on ball bearings. Optional blades let the saw cut wood, non-ferrous metals, plastics, Plexiglas, PC cards, foam and other materials. A dust adaptor connects to a vacuum.
