Small but nice
Pro
- favourable
Contra
- Roller wheel causes rapid wear of saw blades
- Replacement saw blades are relatively expensive for what they last.
Great work tool
This machine has all the makings of a great machine and allows a great job of cutting wood safely and coupled with a vacuum cleaner there is no dust.
Pro
- takes up little space
- works on a 220V socket
Ok
Pro
- small
- compact
- light
Contra
- really thin cutter
- linear guide too flexible
- not very precise
Good machine
Flawless, according to expectations
Don't buy a machine for 300 francs that will give you regrets, or at least a lot of time for adjustments/tinkering
Price/performance ratio: OK
But a lot of regrets - I should have thought of paying double for a more professional machine.
Most of all, the locking system of the cutting guide is simply wonky! The guide is only held by a spring which does not lock with a positive effect.
The guide does not reach the opposite side of the cutting table - so just touch the guide and there is more than 5mm gap in its length.
Basically, it's not worth dreaming of doing precision work - too bad!!!!Pro
- Cheap and very solid - very decent size for a small basement workshop.
Contra
- Lacks a corner guide (costs almost 100 francs as an option)
- the dimensions of the T-rail are unique for Scheppach - not available elsewhere
- Instructions are basic and not at all clear, even wrong.
- Washers are missing; the 20mm screw in the doc measures 25mm; unclear pictures
- To change a blade, you have to open/close the panel with 16 (sixteen) turns of the handle!!!!!
- So, any adjustment of a new saw blade (30 francs each) takes a long time!
