Why a Vertical Panel Saw?
STILL DOING THIS? Here’s why Vertical Panel Saws cut panels faster and safer than a table saw or slider, without giving up valuable floor space: 1. Efficiency: First and foremost, vertical saws were designed to cut big rectangles into smaller rectangles, so of course they do it more efficiently than an all-around machine like a slider. If you are using a slider solely to cut rectangles to make boxes, you are working harder than you should be! 2. Accuracy, squareness, & quality of cut: It would be difficult to make an argument against an upper-end slider on any of these points, but compared to a table saw, there is no comparison on any of these points. That’s mainly because on a vertical saw, the panel is stationary and the saw moves on precision guide-ways through the material, and you’re not relying on an operator to keep the work-piece up against a fence. The quality of cut issue is extremely apparent when cutting solid surface material and melamine. 3. Material Handling and Operator
