Panel Saw

This folding vertical panel saw is ideal for any woodworker who frequently works with plywood or other sheet materials. Designed for accuracy and convenience, it allows a single person to make smooth, controlled cuts with a handheld circular saw guided by a durable sliding carriage system.

The vertical A-frame bed supports full 4'x8' sheets, with removable wings that add extra stability during use. Made from sturdy ¾" birch plywood and reinforced with Douglas fir rails, the structure resists flexing and twisting. A pair of metal guide tubes ensures the saw carriage glides smoothly and stays true during cuts.

When the job’s done, the entire unit folds flat and rolls on casters for compact storage against a wall—making it a great solution for small shops. An optional router carriage expands its capabilities, letting you add dadoes and grooves with ease.

Whether you're crosscutting panels or ripping long boards, this shop-built panel saw offers pro-level performance without the price tag.
