JOUNJIP Mini Miter Cut-Off Chop Saw for Hobby Miniature Model Making, Carbon Arrow Shafts, Zinc Stained Glass Came, 223/5.56 Brass - Cuts Max. 1/2"High x 1/2"Wide or 1/4"H x 3/4"W

The saw works very well for cutting brass tubing and the materials listed in the description. It's easy to use and is a good value for the price. Its small size is ideal for the its purpose. I've only had it less than a week and cannot comment on durability. As cautioned in the description it is a hobbyist tool and not made for heavy duty production. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the saw blade has loosened several times during operation. I've had to stop work and tighten the screw that holds the blade. The last time the blade loosened I had great difficulty removing the screw and found that the screw threads (but not the female threads in the tool) were stripped. I used the tool only to cut thin brass tubing of 1/4" diameter and, thus, do not overload the tool. The screw is metric and I have metric dies and taps. I cleaned up the screw threads. I made another 30 cuts and the saw blade remained tight. I contacted Jounjip via email and they replied within half-an-hour with three remedies: 1. Apply a small drop of blue Loctite to the screw threads, 2. Make sure the blade washers are seated evenly, and 3. avoid over-tightening the screw. After further use I'll update this review. Overall I really like the cut-off saw and can recommend it. Update October 15, 2025: Since making adjustments 2 and 3 above recommended by Jounjip, I cut 50 pieces of brass tubing with no problems. The cuts were quick and accurate. I've changed my review to 5 stars. I assume that the saw blade was not correctly mounted when I received the saw new in the box. Update 10/21/25 Superb customer service!! This morning, I received a new cut-off saw. Per my previous update I had “fixed” the issues with the saw and was completely surprised to receive a new saw. If I could, I would give Jon of JOUNJIP 5+ stars. Highly recommend that if you are considering a mini-cut-off saw buy from JOUNJIP!

I just received this chop saw and already love it. I use it to cut zinc framing for stained glass. I have a small studio - it is compact yet does an amazing job. The cut is so clean the zinc doesn't have burrs. If you find saws a bit frightening this one is very safe - the included vise firmly held it on my work table and the directions show you how to use it safely. I practiced with some scrap first to ensure I knew how to align the blade to the desired cut line . Truly one of the best purchases I've made in a long time!!

I started my project using my 10” miter saw trying to cut 45 degree angles on 1/4” x 3/4” wood. It would create a lot of noise and sawdust, chip the edges, and in general was tedious. This mini saw is great. I love that it has a brake that immediately stops the blade when the power is switched off. I had no trouble cutting 45 degrees across the 3/4” width with the larger blade. I even cut soft wood that was 1/16” wider by putting a thin shim under the stock. The cut is smooth with very little sawdust. Just set up a jig for repetitive lengths. It is not designed to cut hardwoods like oak, at least of any thickness. I am very happy with my purchase.

I have used the saw and while it did cut thin aluminum. It is not designed for that application. I spoke with Jonathon and he is going to change the description to better advise his customer of the saws capabilities. Jon is a stand up vendor and our discussion was educational for both. Thanks Jonathon you are a first class business.

Works well for cutting zinc came for stained glass🙂
