Does any of you have also made bad experiences with the DP pixie saw attachment? Yesterday I installed the attachment on my Pixie according to the instructions. However,  when I turned on the machine the motor was running but the shaft didn`t move. Only as I removed the saw table from the machine the shaft worked well again. I got the impression that the motor of the Pixie is to weak for the saw attachment.

Greetings,

I have a 4" non pixie called "The Opal Machine" from Gem-Tech that had a blade attachment.  This unit has a very small motor and a rheostat on it's power and even this little guy has no problem cutting.  This was my first little saw and of course as a beginner I tried cutting pieces much to large for the 4" and it still did just fine.  I would assume that the Pixie should have plenty of torque to use the saw.  Is there perhaps something in binding on the attachment or cutting table for the blade?

Hi Olaf

I have a genie with the saw attachment and there is no problem. I am assuming that it is on right side just like the genie. You say the motor is running? Is the left side turning? If so then you probally dont have the saw adapter installed/tightened correctly. If the left side is not turning then I think that you have something in a bind.

Hope that helps.

Yes, it is on the right side. The left side of the pixie didn`t move when I started the machine. When I took the saw table away the shaft including the saw blade were running in a normal way. The attachment including the adapter were installed exactly according to the instruction. I had the impression that the saw blade was blocked by the foam construction under the saw blade. Finally I sent it back to the dealer. In Germany this attachment costs 372 Euro (ca. 402 Dollar) so I didn`t want to make "experiments" with it.
