Mini Table Saw Using PVC

A mini table saw made from PVC is a budget-friendly DIY tool for cutting small pieces of wood, plastic, or acrylic sheets. It’s lightweight, portable, and perfect for hobbyists who enjoy crafting, model-making, or electronics projects.

Why Build a Mini Table Saw with PVC?

  • Low Cost: Uses PVC pipes and fittings instead of heavy metal frames.

  • Portable: Easy to move and store.

  • Motor holder & bearings

  • Switch & wiring

  • MDF board or plywood (for tabletop)

  • Power supply (adapter or battery)

Steps to Build a Mini PVC Table Saw

  1. Frame Construction – Assemble PVC pipes and fittings to make the table frame.

  2. Tabletop Setup – Place a strong MDF/plywood sheet on top and cut a slot for the blade.

  3. Motor Mounting – Fix the motor under the table, aligned with the slot.

  4. Attach the Blade – Connect a mini circular saw blade to the motor shaft.

  5. Wiring – Add a switch and power supply for easy operation.

  6. Safety Check – Ensure the blade is stable and the frame doesn’t shake.

Applications

  • Cutting small wooden sticks or rods

  • Craft and model projects
