There was some discussion recently on another reflector regarding the use of a Proxxon KS230 table saw for cutting circuit boards. This saw was praised for its usefulness in cutting circuit board material. It seems the KS230 is the 230VAC version while the KS115 (120VAC) would be more applicable in the US. I have a tile cutting saw that I bought at Home Depot for (as I recall) something under $60 a year or two ago based on recommendations from members of this group. I use it with the 0.008in blade (again, as recommended on this reflector) and it seems to do an adequate job on circuit boards. I don't do a lot of circuit board cutting, just what I need for my rather modest hobby activities. The Proxxon saw costs around $130 from a source I found in the US. It seems likely that the Proxxon is a better quality saw in general than the tile saw. Is there anything to gain by upgrading from the tile saw to the Proxxon? If so, how and in what areas would the Proxxon provide better performance than the table saw for cutting circuit board material? Thanks. Steve
