Proxxon 37006 KS 115 Bench Circular Saw

Q: Can I cut hard plastic sheets with this or will it melt them

My experience so far has just been with thin (~0.02") ABS sheets, 0.01" polycarbonate sheets, and a failed attempt with 1/16" polycarbonate. In general the saw does what I need, but I wish it had a bit more power. If you don't have a fence lined up almost perfectly parallel to the blade, the binding (even with 0.02" ABS) becomes severe and slows the blade significantly. When I tried the 1/16" thick polycarbonate I couldn't get the saw to cut through regardless of how parallel was my fence. I've been using a thin, solid carbide blade too.So far I've never had any issue with melting or burning plastic.

Q: is this saw blade ok to cut tubing?

I did not try to cut tubing and this saw blade is not for this purpose. This tool looks OK to cut printed circuit boards

Q: Is there a blade included with the saw? If so which blade?

Yes, a blade is included and the saw is ready to use. It's a general use blade (14 teeth per inch).

Q: Does it work at 220v?

Greetings Christian,Proxxon products are made in Taiwan for the American market and are all wired for 110volts. If your mains are 220volts, you could get a voltage converter to run the saw. If you are thinking of other purchases from the Proxxon tool line, a converter would be a worthwhile investment for your workbench.Here is a suggested transformer producing 300 watts with a very reasonable price from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/STEP-DOWN-TRANSFORMER-ADAPTER-300W/dp/B0036ZKCAYRegards,Steve Franks
