I made a similar design, but no counterweight. I used the weight of the saw to cut the wood controlled by the rope over a pulley. And I had the power switch near where I was standing. That way you are clear from the danger and dust. I like your track idea.

I make cabinets and counter tops, read all the comments, for what they're asking and for what I paid for my panel saw. You can't beat the price. I see people who purchased this had problems assembling it but no negative comments about them asking for assistance and everyone got a reply with further instructions. Bravo on the construction of making this with all the ideal capabilities it can do. Love the portable idea, nice to do major construction at a job site which might be far away from your shop

Very nice. I like the way you can rotate it to cut vertically or horizontally.

I can see house framers adding this to their tool kit. Good job.excellent piece of kit.

Some design considerations this idea might benefit from, a zero clearance insert for vertical cuts and a repositionable slide with saw insert for your rip cut horizontal orientation to get a little cleaner cut and prevent tear-out.

exelente idea...

Great idea! Thanks for posting it. Very clever. I'm surprised this has not gotten many views as it is a super idea for dealing with large plywood.

Very ingenious. Simple but effective

Nice work … very impressive 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

This are very clever 's , solid's built 's ! Easy and fast cutting and running! ( one man 's show 's

I would love a set of plans!...It's a great idea & would suit my needs just fine!...Good luck on your venture!

love your hi tek counter weight.

9 years AFTER this video was made, It amazes me how many people still prefer table saws. The knowledge of a panel saw is extremely limited amongst today's woodworkers. They think they are these giant machines that can only do a few things. When in fact, they can do everything a table saw can do, and much more. I have 1 arm/leg, so a table saw is not an option for me. Im currently shopping for a workshed for my needs, and once I find one I like, and it is finished, a panel saw will be the thing I build inside. (Workbench first of course. ) Advancements in linear motion, and extrusions since thus video was made, will allow a more universal design so I can increase/decrease size, depth, location, etc. So thank you for this video! Its people like yourself who refuse to let "good enough" be enough.

BRAVO!!!

BRILLIANT VIDEO

Great.....

I've used 2k dollar Panel saws, this one works dam goo by the looks of it, but I've got an improvement for it. Most shelves attach in a cabinet with Pins add a pin lock hold and a plunge outer and you have a pin pattern add to this you could also add a Tilting plate to cut molding shapes on your panel MDF or in hardwoods and other ideas as well. Like a X-Y-Z index or a circle cutter or even pentagram attachment with pattern guid. I'l bet you could cut dovetails with it even. CNC vertical panel, router table sheet good size.

I would like a set of Plans!

Well done! I think it is a great invention. (I.E. design. I realise others have invented the same thing previously but the execution of this one seems to be the best I have seen. ) I would love to buy the kit. There are two things holding me back. 1. It is not metric. 2. The freight charges to Australia are prohibitive. The metric issue may not be too big of an issue, given the way it is designed, except that I could never get parts for it. Hence if you could find a way to ship it internationally, cheaply, then I think myself and many others around the world would buy the kit. Esp if you had a metric version. It occurs to me that rebuilding the entire thing in metric would be another option but usually I find that hunting down all the parts for such things ends up costing more than buying a kit in the first place. I would definitely prefer the convenience of the kit and to see that the creator gained something from my purchase. So I just thought I'd let you know I think it is a great design and I'm only not buying the kit for logistical reasons.

Good idea and nice work ! 👍 👍 👍

I just received mine today (bday gift from wife), and although I have not yet assembled it, I am amazed and thrilled by the excellent quality of all the parts. Also, as trivial as this may seem, its very nice that the hardware needed to build the frame are included. I will post again after its assembled and tested. (hopefully this weekend).

anyone know where to get the plans for this? the link goes to some ad sweep stakes thing

I would love to have a set of plan to try it out, thank you and god bless

uh....looks like the tape measure gets cut in two each time the blade passes over it? - same with the router? will I end up with 2 doz pieces of my tape measure?

good idea

Looks slick! Could I get a set of plans for this and/or notice of when it's available again? Thanks.

Very nice! I have been looking for something of a more DIY kit instead of shelling out loads of money for metal framed versions :)

Who picked out the music, Gandalf?

I would like a set of plans! Thanks and God bless

Looks hard on the back.

Is it an issue in the case where you rip a panel and the weight of the upper piece wants to fall down and squish your blade, creating a kick back like situation? Would a riving knife on your saw fix the situation?

Nicely done! Would love to see plans.

I would like to have the plans. Thank you.

I do like it mostly because of the overall Simplicity and the factor that it cuts Accurately I’ve worked in high Capacity Shops over the years that have had Commercially available Panel Saws that were always out of adjustment and very unreliable for Precision work Oddly for Projects at my home Shop i could breakdown Sheet Goods faster using Straight edges and a battery powered Circular Saw then using those Panel Saws in a 100,0000 Square Foot Shop with Millions of Dollars worth of CommercialWoodworking Machinery Of Course in both cases i always liked to achieve final dimensions on my Personal Table Saw i exclusively used and built Jigs ,Sleds ,and Other Accessories for that Specific Saw

I would like a set of plans...

Please send plans, thank you.

Sir if you're still willing I'd love a copy of these plans.

this website above the a2equipment.com is now going to a site with a trojan horse. Is anyone else having this problem???? I cannot get it to load without getting the error of the trojan horse. If someone can help me get to the site with the plans and supplies it would be much appreciated...

so what happens when you are cutting heavy boards and the blade gets pinched and youre metre's away from the saw?

Look at my "Parallel Guided Power Saw" on you tube.

Web link appears to be dead

what'd the name of the music ?
