Panel Saw seen beating crap out of Table Saw
Why doesn't everyone just get a panel saw for cutting large sheet
goods? Seems like a much better option than even a sliding table saw. JP |

Panel Saw seen beating crap out of Table Saw
I'll have to see what kinda bit I can use in that there kitchen router
to make it "artisitic". Speaking of... This weekend I used my handy Milwaukee cordless sawzall to cut thru a roll of (basement) carpet (12' wide, but only for a length of ~4'; then the other 14'+ needed to only be ~8' wide). Worked like a charm, though we went back with scissors to trim the few random "strings"! Renata On 23 Jul 2004 12:20:09 -0700, (WoodChuck34) wrote: Renata wrote in message . ..

Why doesn't everyone just get a panel saw for cutting large sheet goods? Seems like a much better option than even a sliding table saw. JP Because not everyone has the money. hehe. Also the panel saw is awesome but it is limited in its function so not everyone has the need of a specialty tool. Never used a sliding table saw so dont know if its better or not. I would love to have the sliding table saw to try it out. Rich |

I am curious as to what you mean by "limited in it function"?
I have two in the shop one is unable to use dado blades and the other one is dado capable. Other than this fact what is limited about these saws? As compared to any decent cabinetmaking saw??? I find them to be far more useful and productive than a regular table saw. Chris "Rich" wrote in message om... Why doesn't everyone just get a panel saw for cutting large sheet goods?

I'm also wondering about all the "no money, no space" justifications. I
have a 9x19 shop with no table saw. The bandsaw is my primary saw. I was considering building a panel saw and mounting it on the wall. It seems me that would be relatively inexpensive and wouldn't take up that much room mounted on the wall. Am I missing something?

Mark in use (if you use them for ripping) they take up *16 feet* of wall. I can set up 3 pretty good sized machines in that space... It will also tilt out a couple feet and is easier to use if you've got another few inches shoulder clearance to muscle the boards up to it. I've got a 25' x 48' shop, and couldn't find space for one if I tried. Besides, I'll be ripping a lot of 6-8" tulip poplar down to face frame width this weekend, so I don't really see the benefit for me. I do cut some panels, maybe about 10 a year. To pay $1000 and more for a machine that is necessary that few times drives me right over to my circular saw and straight edge. Someone noted he had two panel saws, one fitted for regular cutting, one for dados. Sounds like fun, but his shop must be the size of a blimp hanger. I'm not at all sure, either, how large a dado set one of them would swing, nor how will it does tilted, nor how well a molding head would fit, nor...just a whole bunch of things. Can you do a stopped dado? And on from there. Charlie Self "I think the most un-American thing you can say is, 'You can't say that.' " Garrison Keillor |

I was wo0ndering about these and how good they are. Anyone built/used one and have any opinions? Cutting panels seems to be the biggest bug these days for saws generally. I actually think that the panel saws being referred to are the large horizontal machines, niot these wall ones.

BUT, for me, the money-space budget simply doesn't justify it. I setup sheetgoods on horses with a shop-built guide and cut everything to finished size at the top of the project with a circular saw. If it's raining, I might have to rearrange my garage. Considering it's "Just a circular saw . . " I've done quite a lot of good accurate woodworking with it. Great multitasker for the guy (*WAVES*) for whom dissecting sheet goods on a contractor saw is outside of his comfort/safety zone. Even if I had a Nahm budget, I'm not sure I'd want one, any more than I think I'd want his dedicated pocket hole machine and resaw bandsaw, though obviously if I'm building hundreds of face frames or working with exotic veneers, that all changes. *checks to see if SWMBO is reading* *convinced he's alone, starts sketching how to arrange things to fit the panel saw, pocket hole machine, Laguna Megablurfl . . . * |
