The little Micro Mark saw is an excellent piece of equipment for what it is made for ——-model making. Do not expect it to cut african Blackwood, cocobolo or other hardwood pen blanks. Because of limited space I bought one, it would cross cut pen blanks with limited success if they were less than 3/4". I returned it and they very pleasantly returned my money. Later I did buy their heavy duty chop saw and it does a good job of cutting blanks to length and cuts brass tubes fine. If space will permit, I recommend the DeWalt 10" DW745 . I bolted mine to a wood box of proper height for me and fitted a removable 3/4" plywood cover for the top to act as extra work space.
