Micro-Mark MicroLux Tilt Arbor Saw Super Value Package Overview
Micro-Mark MicroLux Tilt Arbor Saw Super Value Package bundles a compact Table Saws worktop with many accessories. Micro-Mark Model 87727 includes a 40-tooth carbide tip blade and blank blade plates for safety and versatility. Micro-Mark Table Saw package lists a 2-inch-high rip fence, featherboards, a taper jig, and an angle setter. Model 87727 Table Saw Super Value set ships in a padded HD case and costs about $429.95.
Key included specifications and accessories
- Included blade: 40-tooth carbide tip saw blade (model 86326)
- Blank blade plates: set of 4 to prevent strips falling through the table (model 84904)
- Fence and featherboards: 2″ high 10″ long extruded aluminum rip fence; vertical and horizontal featherboards (model 80898)
- Jigs and gauges: taper jig 6″ long (model 80605); angle setter/protractor (model 60299); ripping gauge set with multiple widths (model 70224)

How do I assemble and align the tilt-arbor saw for models?
87727 provides accurate blade alignment for repeatable 90 and 45 cuts. Mount the saw on a stable bench and unpack the HD case to inventory parts and the instruction sheet before assembly. Install the blank blade plates, then fit the 40-tooth carbide blade on the tilting arbor; arbor (shaft that holds the blade) must seat fully and tighten securely. Square the fence with the included angle setter and cut a small kerf test to verify perpendicularity and bevel accuracy.
Essential includes of a mini tilt-arbor table saw for models
Micro-Mark MicroLux Tilt Arbor Saw Super Value Package combines miniature tilting-arbor control with accessories crucial for small-scale work. Micro-Mark Model 87727 improves control with a 2-inch-high extruded aluminum rip fence and vertical featherboard for repeatable edge pressure. Micro-Mark Table Saw supports metal cutting via the included ferrous cut-off disk while blank plates stop waste falling through the table. The ripping gauge set and taper jig let you lay out and cut consistent, small-width stock for scale components.
Ripping gauge dimensions and accessory details
- Ripping gauge widths (inches): 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 1/2 (approx. 4″ gauge length)
- Taper jig: machined aluminum/steel, 6″ long (model 80605) for consistent angled cuts
- Case interior dimensions: 12-1/4 x 11-1/2 x 8-1/2 in; includes three foam-wrapped dividers
What blades and feed techniques give clean cuts in scale wood?
Model 87727 Table Saw cuts clean edges when you use matched blade choice and controlled feed rates. Start with the included 40T carbide tip blade for general basswood and plywood, and switch to a higher-tooth or micro-tooth blade for very thin veneer or brittle balsa. Maintain steady feed pressure, use the featherboards to hold stock flat against the fence, and avoid aggressive, fast feeds that cause tearout on small parts.
Recommended blade tooth counts and feed guidance
- 40T carbide tip (included): good general purpose for 1/32-1/8″ stock
- 80-100T micro-tooth blades: best for veneer, thin basswood, and smooth finishing cuts
- Thin-kerf blades ( 0.035-0.045″): reduce material waste and require less torque
- Feed speed guideline: 1-3 in/sec for delicate cuts; slow down further for brittle or veneered stock
Micro-Mark MicroLux Tilt Arbor Saw Super Value Package Performance
Micro-Mark MicroLux Tilt Arbor Saw Super Value Package delivers consistent small-cut performance for model making and jewelry crafting. Micro-Mark Model 87727 achieves fine edge quality when paired with carbide blades and careful feed technique. Micro-Mark Table Saw documentation omits motor RPM and voltage, so evaluate power by test cuts and user reviews before heavy-duty jobs. Model 87727 Table Saw results improve noticeably when you mount the saw rigidly and control vibration with a flat, heavy base.
How can I modify fences, miter gauge, or dust port for models?
87727 accepts fence modifications that increase accuracy for repeatable scale cuts. Add a micro-adjuster or a shim to the extruded fence and lock it with a small clamp to gain fine lateral control, and consider gluing a thin strip of UHMW or brass as a zero-play contact face. Use a precision aftermarket miter gauge or add a hardwood shim to the stock gauge for repeatable angled cuts, and route a flexible vacuum adapter to the table underside for dust collection; choose a 1.0-1.25 inch hose for most shop vacs. Can it cut thin metal? The package includes a ferrous cut-off disk so it can cut light ferrous stock, but expect limited thickness capability and verify performance on scrap first. What are the power and warranty specifics? Motor power, voltage, RPM, and warranty terms are not published in the package data, so contact Micro-Mark or your vendor to confirm electrical requirements and service policies before purchase.
