Thanks for watching. I will continue to make more fun videos.

Yeah if this were a kit you could buy commercially, or even a standalone unit, I think it would do well. Just wait, harbor freight will have one out next month for $129.99

You can bump that up "best panel saw design". Most of them are just enough to work and even cut really garbage like despite costing $$$$.

The linear bearings and heavy aluminum extrusion rails are going to set you back a bit. Add that and all the hardware and this all $1000 or more.

Je suis toujours ébloui par son travail de génie et trés propre!!!! je guette en permanence ses nouvauté et le remercie a lui de les partager

@@ironmyno I've wondered about this. Is that a truly reliable estimate? I know that the components you mentioned are really pricey, but I've wondered if there are sources at a more affordable price point. Thanks!

Thats my problem with it. It's too expensive for what it is. If you're tearing down panels over and over again then a panel saw is faster. But for the home DIYer a tracksaw will have more use for roughly the same cost.

@@AERuffy Until you said 'same cost as a track saw' I was in my head saying 'YEAH BUT IT'S THE SAME COST AS A TRACK SAW!' A vertical panel saw comes in at ~£15k, it's seriously hard to come by one that doesn't need 16' of wall space when you're likely not wanting more than 8' of capacity, whilst a sliding table saw will be about half that cost, but take up even more space and provide a ton of handling challenges, whether you're a DIYer or a pro. Being able to make this for 5% of those costs, to your own specifications, fitted to your own costs is why it's worth it. I couldn't justify a full size panel saw, and in fact tend to rip boards in half with a track saw. Things then slow down a lot when you need to cut a bunch of lengths of 600mm width as you can't use a mitre saw, can't have a table saw big enough to do this safely (and again, radial arm saws are massive). As soon as I clear a little spare wall space though, a 600mm capacity version of this will save me hours of repetitive crosscuts, and probably retire my mitre saw too. Can't see how it isn't worth it really.

I understand where you are coming from, but any panel saw you can buy off the shelf would cost much more than the materials to make this. Also, just because he built it a specific way doesn't mean you have to, maybe you can cut cost by altering the design a bit? Those sliding rails aren't super expensive either.

I would have to agree. By the time you purchased all the 4 linear bearings, the steel shafts, aluminium extrusions, aluminium plates and all the connecting hardware, this is an expensive project.

Where do you live because panel saws are F'n expensive and super hard to find? The lowest price I've seen is $1400 and I can buy the 80/20 profiles for a couple of hundred. There's an 80/20 rep in my city... Plus Amazon prices aren't that bad. I call BS!

Here in Brazil unfortunately the import taxes are astronomics. Then, is very expensive either buy ir construct.

I bought an old panel saw in 1990 from a bankrupt lumber yard. I fot the pansaw, a radial arm saw, a table saw, and one hundred used 7.25, 10, 12 and 14 in saw blades. All for 500.00$ American. Sharpened the blades, mounted the panel saw, sold the table saw, and radial arm saw for 500 each. I've gone through a Dewalt circular saw every 2 years. The last one I bought was a Chicago Electric from Harbor Freight.

yes but aluminium have a re sell value and safer than wood

Why use a new tool with a battery when compressed air is already available in the shop?

Let alone these heavy linear bearings

Most of the aluminum rails and brackets could be replaced with wood. The aluminum just makes acquiring long straight pieces simple for the project. I'd probably laminate plywood together where needed.
