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.

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.
