Here's a plan: http://store.yahoo.com/plansnow/panelcutguide.html

For all the benefits a panel saw might supply, I have yet to see an
affordable one or a build-your-own model that can cut diagonals. Same
for mitres? There must other cuts that a panel saw can't do that a
table saw can. I suppose one could work around it by clamping sheet
goods on an angle, but it would be a pain to readjust for incremental
cuts to sneak up on a cutting line and pretty well impossible for
cutting a 90° slice off the middle of a 4'x8' sheet.

Running a 4'x8' sheet of plywood through a table saw at a 45 degree angle
sounds pretty dangerous. But then, running it through straight calls for
serious concentration.


And yes, you can add a chop saw or something similar to do things like
mitres, but doesn't that defeat some of the biggest proponents for a
panel saw, the saving of space and money?
