question about axminster TS200

[Idefixes]

Hi all i read all about TS200 on this forum. Actually i have a Rexon BT2502AE

This table saw suffurring from a to high balde/motor group flexibility. So when the wood is a little hard, when the blade as to many teeth, the cut goe's to side...that's not enough good for good box assembly. So i need to purchase à new machine to do a good job. I want to purchase a Festool TS55 with 1,40m rail that i could use on job site. But for little pieces repetitive pieces the festool will perhaps not be enough confortable in use so i "little" saw bench as Axminster TS200 could be a good soluce for me. So the main question : is the blade/bade pullet rigid enough to provide a precise rigth cut. The other issue on my rexon is that the tilting angle setting is not stable, what's with TS 200?

best regards Marc

You won't go wrong with the TS200 loads here have it, and when they are up will tell you all about how good it is!

Ok thanks for confirmation, I've been so desapointed with the rexon results that i'am a little shy on decision. The rexon coast me about 320€ not so far wide as the TS200 for un brush motor and poor motor supporting mecanism...

The TS200 is a great little saw, not quite as cheap as it once was but still fantastic value. It will be accurate and capable, once you've faffed with it enough, plenty of advice threads here on how to do this.

I have the Kity version of the Axi saw and it is fantastic. The blade rise and fall is a little stiff and the tilt is more of a fall. You have to hold on to the handle as you loosen the locking mechanism or it will just crash to one side under the weight of the motor. I rarely use the tilt on it though.

Very powerful for a small 200mm blade, fairly quiet and very accurate.

Quite a small table so needs a run off table.

The sliding carriage is very useful, hardly used my SMS since getting it.

Thanks all for confirmation. I read all topics i could found here about TS200, and with your confirmation to go for it. It will completed with a Festool TS55 pour panel cuts.
