DIY panel saw?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

Nacimroc:

So, I've seen the CNC machines but its a big cost and a lot of time. The saw boards are great and all, but I just figured a few people on here must have built their own panel saw like you see in the big DIY stores? Something like the one below.







CoryBee:

Oh my. I have always wanted one of those

Nacimroc:

It's got to be fairly cheap to make and stands up on wall at side of the garage so very handy for storage and cutting. I would love to build one with linear bearings running horizontally so that you move the saw left or right to the cut line instead of the board itself. $150-$200 all in for parts and a few hours to build? Stick a few cheap laser lights on it to give you guide lines and away you go.



CoryBee:

The one at my local Home Depot is able to cut along both axis. Up, down & Left, right.

TopJimmyCooks:

I would build one if I broke down plywood panels every day.  for occasional use, build a sacrificial plywood cutting table and use with a regular circular saw and a straightedge guide/sawboard.
