Proxxon KGS 80 Chop and Miter Saw (37160)

The Proxxon KGS 80 Chop and Miter Saw (37160) is a compact, precision-engineered tool ideal for model making, small-scale woodworking, and intricate cutting of plastics and non-ferrous metals. Its unique design allows for accurate and burr-free cuts, featuring a rotatable work table instead of a movable saw head, which enables miter cuts up to 45 degrees in both directions. The machine integrates a self-centering clamp system with specialized grooves for securing both round and thin materials. Driven by a quiet DC motor and a smooth-running toothed belt drive, it offers vibration-free performance. Built with a robust pressure-cast aluminum table and CNC-machined guides, the KGS 80 ensures long-term reliability and exceptional cutting precision for hobbyists and professionals alike.
