Why can't I use it for cutting metal screws? It is able to make clean cuts on non ferrous metals. Phenolics should cut easily and cleanly with this.
In their blab, they show a fibre reinforced cut off wheel, so that should be able to cut off pins etc. They also show carbide teeth saws, but not sure what the tpi of those are. Seems like a nice little unit. I don't know how well it will cut off a pin, but like anything, if you take it slow and don't burn it,I assume it will be fine. It has some nice features, like being able to adjust the saw laterally for the position, and the swing away end stop is also nice to have.
A friend has another brand of the mini drop saw that he uses for model making. Looking at the Proxxon, it seems that Ian's is a cheap copy.
I have a Ryobi 18v small drop saw, so I should be able to put a little vice on one side, and make it adjustable in it's position to achieve a similar result for cutting things for model plane making and other wood work/cue things.
Lol Oneday someone will come on here and use it for cutting off tips or something like that.
