Cheap rubbish
Compared to the all-purpose Dremel, the saw can unfortunately only be used as a fretsaw. The work table is "cheap", unstable and the idea that you could make a reliable mitre cut with it is unfortunately pure sales illusion. The plastic angle wheel is not stable enough to cut a reliable angle, the workpiece cannot be fixed and the aluminium guide is not slippery enough and constantly gets caught, so that the thin saw blade cuts through somewhere and somehow but not at the angle and certainly not vertically straight as you would like. A real shame, a little more innovation in the choice of materials and implementation of the design idea, then the Moto-Saw would just be a few francs more expensive, but worth the money, so it is still too expensive even for 100CHF and not recommended to buy. The guide rail needs to be more stable and, above all, run better, the angled steering wheel needs to be more stable and have large enough sliding surfaces to allow the workpiece to be fixed to it, and the damn work table shouldn't twist and bend at the slightest application of force. And the pointlessly thick instructions that only have 3 pages of drawings in black and white, my God.... is it really too much to ask, instead of writing 10 pages of safety crap in 30 languages, to illustrate the 3 illustrated pages in such a way that it is clear what is meant? Is the grey workpiece wood or metal, or is the light grey wood and what is the medium grey, concrete? The instructions are the best example of - How not to do it.
Pro
- Better than a hand-held fretsaw
- Suitcase
- Speed setting wheel
- Clamping is relatively easy
Contra
- On/off switch is difficult to operate with one hand
- Worktop warps with slight pressure
- Aluminium guide for angled cut runs poorly
- AngleTool is too small for collets
- Angle tool is plastic
- Angle tool is too unstable for stable cutting
- Suitcase organisation could be better
- Operating instructions are a pity about the paper, almost useless.
- Upper saw insertion gap is too narrow, saw blade must be angled for insertion
