Product Description

mfr: Panel Pro Panel Pro allows one operator to cut large sheets of material into finished sizes or into sizes that are easy to handle for further processing. The Panel Pro can be easily stored when not in use because it takes up such a small amount of space. The functionality and portability of the Panel Pro means you can take it right to the job site if preferred. One of the hardest jobs in woodworking is cutting a clean 1/8-inch off the edge of a big panel. Panel Pro easily does it without a problem! Rip cutting large panels lengthwise is another difficult job, especially for one person. Because it supports the panel so well, Panel Pro makes this job easy, accurate, and safe.

Customer Reviews

Don't waste your money
This is a very flimsy machine. Notice it is shown with a 4 X 4 sheet of plywood. That is because it is just about useless with a full 4 X 8 sheets. It is not stable and the stand is made of the aluminum tubing that lawn chairs are made from. It didn't take long for it to give way. I had trouble getting it alinged and keeping it aligned. The saw dust falls on the bottom ledge where your material rests on and throws off alignment. The material roller wheels of other panel saws is a much better way to go. If you need a panel saw for work, buy a real one. If you are a hobbiest, save up for a real one because this was really a disappointment.

Panel Saw with Big Potential
The Panel Pro is easy to put together and acceptably easy to fine tune alignment. The ruler options are not optional in my book. The wheels are handy but add challenges when ripping thick boards. It is a backsaver for crosscutting and ripping panels while working alone. The narrow bed does put unneeded stress on you while ripping sheets longer than 6'. Optional 2' to 4' extentions would be nice but not available. You must build your own. They save all the extension options for their much pricier upper end models.

Panel Pro Review
I give this saw 5 stars with the understanding and recognition that there are better saws to be bought; but in this price range, this tool deserves the highest rating. It has great value for its cost.
I have owned this saw for nearly 4 months and am extremely pleased with it. I use it almost exclusively for cutting thin (1/4") sheet goods, but have used it occasionally for 1/2" material. I have not as yet (and don't expect to) use it for long rips, where the saw is stationary and the material is pushed against it.
It is well designed and made, and is capable of extremely precise cuts. It exceeded my expectations, which were lowered by reading a review by a user some months back. I must now, in his case, suspect operator error.
Packing was well done and assembly straighforward and reasonably simple. I had a minor problem with one of its components and the company (Safety Speed Cut) response was immediate and completely satisfacory. I even got to speak to a real person right from the start. Hope you like it too-- sure beats the time and danger of messing around with full sheets on a table saw or on horses with a hand, circular saw.
