Setting up a fully equipped workshop can be quite pricey, but if your projects are smaller in scale, such an expense may not be necessary. For those who frequently work with miniatures, it might be worthwhile to explore building a collection of small machines like those made by [KendinYap]. Take a look at the video below to see a miniature electric sander, table saw, drill press, and cut-off saw in operation.
Despite their smaller size, these machines are very effective. They are particularly adept at handling smaller tasks without risking damage to your materials. The tiny belt sander is especially handy for these applications, alongside the drill press, which offers similar advantages. Additionally, [KendinYap] showcases a compact table saw and a circular saw as part of this collection. The construction of these machines is quite straightforward, primarily utilizing 3D printed components. Each device is powered by standard DC brushed motors, which are more than capable for jobs at this scale.
If you have a penchant for building small-scale models, these machines would complement your interests perfectly.
