Am I the only one using Proxon tools to make small things, like jewelry boxes, cigar boxes, silver chests, silverware chests with trays, etc. I now have 3 Proxxon bench top tools: their large table saw, their shaper/router, and their mini plunge router. I had previously used equipment in a senior citizen's woodworking shop, all professional woodworking level equipment, with a few bench type machines thrown in (router table, miter saw, etc.)

When this shop closed due to the recession and lack of funding, I was set adrift until I found these mini tools, which suit my needs admirably. I can cut, rout, shape, make dovetails, finger joints, rabbets and about anything else you can do on the big machines, and with much more precision.

Fine Woodworking had a review some time back on the company's equipment, look it up. If you make small things, or models or doll house stuff or model boats, these could be just the ticket for you. I rate them a 10 out of 10.
