  • I decided that I wanted to improve my Proxxon Thermocut to have a better fence than it comes with stock. After doing some research online I was inspired after looking at the potential of Extruded Aluminum. A quick purchase and a longer wait on shipping later I had the supplies from 8020.net and McMaster-Carr. Today I will be going over how I upgraded my Proxxon, the parts that I used, and suggestions for the future. Let me know if you have any questions!

    What I think the proxxon needs is a taller arm.

      I am currently exploring a solution to this. I want the arm to be 3 inches higher

    Seems overly complicated to me.
    I just made an MDF jig that uses the original groove and is much more rigid.

      Oh, that is a certainly simpler setup, but I don't have the tools needed to make anything out of MDF so I went with this since it was all available pre-cut.

    The one thing I want to make is a taller arm.

    Don't mean to sound critical but takes to long in the intro. Just list the arts and get on with it. You can describe them later as you use them.
