Sliding-Carriage Panel Saw

Nothing beats a panel saw for quickly breaking down sheets of plywood for a project. Problem is that a tool like this can cost $1000 or more to buy. We built our panel saw for less than $350.

Plus, we didn’t like how commercial panel saws require so much shop space to maneuver plywood in and out of the saw. Our design solves this problem by letting you make both horizontal and vertical cuts... without having to flip the plywood panel over.

Overall dimensions: 18"D x 120"W x 70"H
