Project Information

It's made half out of wood and the other half was a kit I bought. I wanted a panel saw for my shop for quite a while now but just didn't want to spend huge money for one. So I did some online hunting and found a wonderful kit.

This kit for the most part was very organized and good quality materials, but any thing needed out of wood you had to get your self. I do recommend using a good quality plywood instead of osb board. I have about $75.00 plus the cost of the kit all totall around $450.00 for a panel saw, not bad in my book. My son helped me with the back supports, about 45 minutes and the rest I did all by my self, total build time 5 hours, 3 hours of that was pulling my hair out LOL. The instructions could be a little better but not bad.

I'm sure you'll put that to good use.

I have seen that kit before and wondered if it'd be worth it to make it. I don't really have the room for a dedicated location to put it though.

Nice build. I bet you love having a panel saw and not have to wrestle with cutting panels on sawhorses…

Are you satisfied with the way this one works?

I have been using a panel saw for over 15 years. Great concept/tool for breaking down sheet goods. To avoid tear out I use a Forrest blade.

Thanks everyone, might post a video of the saw in use when I get some panels made up that need trimming.

That is very cool. As we get older, those 3/4 sheets don't get any lighter, and this would be a gr8 help
