#1 | | Vertical panel saw plans Name: Jimmy City: Clayton State: NC County: Johnston Join Date: Sep 2006  01-15-2009, 11:29 AM
I am thinking of building a vertical panel saw and doing some research on them does anybody have any plans or older magazines with plans laying around ? I know that there are sources to buy the plans from, but I don't want to pay for something until I know that it will work for me.
Thanks in advance.

They consume a lot of space. I used mine sporadically and then had to pull all of the things that had wound up in front of it between uses. The wires would get slack and had to be re-tensioned before each use, or so is my memory. And finally, I'm sure it cost more in 1980 than a Festool or Dewalt trac-saw cost now.
I'll sit down now. .gif) |

A Festool trac saw is a joy to use, and it is much more versatile than a dedicated panel saw. |

Right now I can haul a piece of 4x8 material up on my tablesaw and cut it, but I'm trying to get away from working harder.
I have space, spare DeWalt circular saws, and spare wood around so I looking for some thing that might fit my need.
Thank all of you for your suggestions and any articles will help.
And Travis, I said that I'm thinking of, or as you southern boys say "fixin to"  ,
building one not actually building it................yet. And if you weren't playing in Las Vegas  during the last crawl, you would see that I've built alot of shop fixtures.

You could still invite me over sometime other than a crawl. Who knows, you may have some things and ideas I want to steal borrow.  |

My legs are on their third top now, and soon will be on the fourth top. I use break down table, along with home made guide and B&D Super SawCat to break down sheet goods. This time, I will add flippers to one side rail, so I can turn table on it's side, load plywood on flippers, and then stand table up with plywood already on it. |

A flip up break down table with folding legs.
Ease of storage, ease of back and ease of use. I've got to add that to my choices.

Instead of pipe it works on T-track. Looks to be a better made unit. It is around 10 pages. Expect an email or PM from him tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Doug's personal secretary. |
