DIY Builds Panel Saw from Milwaukee Rear Handle Circular Saw *With CC Commentary*

[@Arkie407]

Geez! Wore me out just watching your handy work... Beautiful project and results; appears to be a versatile and indeed useful solution.

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

Thank you very much!

[@daddyblump7063]

This pleases me! Keep it up Ag!

[@KodyKimani]

ooh i love the red!

[@scottslotterbeck3796]

Like to see it in action. A panel cut saw would be mighty fine.

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

I'll have another video soon using the saw on a project. I am also going to show a couple of minor upgrades.

Are those steel rounds/bars 40mm? That's going to be an expensive spend just on them and the Linear blocks to run on them. It's a brilliant build all the same. I like the idea of it lying flat on a bench surface though myself but each to their own. The counter balance weight is well done with the wire. What is the best strength wire, pound weight or however they test that? I liked that u used plywood for a large part of the build too. I like the saw with that handle on the rear of it. I need to buy me a saw like that bcos I'm looking to build a panel saw, not this big though, and also a router sled maybe. I have some linear guide rails but they're only 16mm Linear guides atm. I think they'll do my for what I need. I was thinking of using them for something else before as a sliding table on my table saw but I think they'll work best with a router sled of sorts .. Great build my friend. Apologies for talking about my stuff there. I tend to waffle on a fair bit about builds

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

Thanks for watching. The bars are 30mm diameter and 1500mm long. They were expensive. I think about $80 each. They also weigh 20 lbs (9kg) each. The idea of the rear handle saw was I wanted the option to lay the saw flat and be able to push the saw all the way across. In practice I haven’t used it that way because the whole thing is so heavy I don’t want to bother moving it. The strength of the cable isn’t really an issue because it only needs to hold about 15 lbs and that size cable is rated for 200 or so. You could build a sled like this to be dual purpose by setting up holes/brackets for both a router and circular saw in the base. I thought about doing that and may add it in the future. But it has been very useful having it there on the wall because I don’t have much space in my garage shop. It’s real convenient to just pop a battery in and make a quick cut any time. The rest of my tools I put away when I’m not actively working on a project.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 Hey man.. Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it very much. I'm thinking of building something myself atm. I'm also building my own home built table saw bcos I'm not spending that much on a real one with the cast Iron top. I would love to have the money to buy a Harvey table saw ALPHA SERIES 52" but I don't have 3,000 to pay for it. This is a brilliant piece of work u built man. I hope to make something similar soon. It definitely will not be as good as yours is but as long as I can get straight clean cuts I'll be happy.. Take care man and keep doing ur thing.. Salute from Dublin, IRE.

Hey! Now that you have had for a while, do you think you would extend the extruded aluminum a bit more to help support full sheets of plywood when cutting, or have you had no issue just tightening the clamps to keep large boards square

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

Good question. I actually do plan to extend the extruded base. I purchased a 6 ft extrusion a while back but haven't gotten around to replacing it. I plan to make a follow up video discussing upgrades when I finally get around to that.

@@jaredmortondesigns7258 cool, thanks for the follow up.

[@dapriyambodo3112]

wow u made it. so great and beautiful. by th way, wht size of bushing/bearing is that? i am too really want to built JSK style panel, but still out of tools and budget, but its not simple to me when we chase the accuracy and durability, i want to just copy jsk and minimize the modification.

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

I went with solid 30mm rails because mine was longer than jsk and also I could not figure out where to get the hollow ones. I couldnt find pipes that fit any bearings. Anyway the rails were expensive and they're also very heavy. If you can make it work with hollow rails it's worth a try.

[@chrisbomar4313]

do you have plans and material list

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

I'm sorry to say I don't. I made so many changes from when I made my original list that the list I have probably wouldn't do much good.

[@joerobinson7733]

Where did you get the hardware kit?

[@jaredmortondesigns7258]

The rails were from ebay and just about everything else was from amazon.
