Super Simple DIY Panel Saw Kit Out Performs Many $1,000+ Saws!

The Swap Saw is coming back better than ever.
It can rip, crosscut, and miter, and 'swap' between sawing and routing in seconds. Our new design is portable too! Plans and hardware available at Http://www.a2eq.com
Features:
• Precision extruded guide rails provide a stable and consistent cut (at least 1/32″ over four feet)
• Patented Gap Guides allows for sub 8 second tool changes
• Zero Offset Geometry allows the saw carriage to sit flush with the bottom of the guides, maximizing the depth of cut
• Crystal Clear and ultra tough polycarbonate carriages lets you see your work
• Easy to add a miter fence for accurate miter cuts
• Ultra low friction bearing lower support eliminates rollers, reducing complexity and enabling easy cutting of materials like lattice work

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

[@davidmuresan628]

Look at my "Parallel Guided Power Saw" and let me know your thoughts. Are you capable to partner with me to manufacture my saw? My saw has a big advantage over table saw and will retire the table saw and the router saw.

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.

[@JayDee-xj9lu]

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.

[@OneTrippin]

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.

[@mattratliff2063]

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

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.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

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

[@davexb6595]

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.

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?
