Woodsmith Panel Saw Plan
This shop-built Panel Saw makes precise vertical cuts just by pulling the sliding carriage (holding your circular saw) down across the sheet of plywood. Your saw mounted in the milled phenolic carriage travels on guide rails with nylon rollers to cut through plywood or other sheet goods. For ripping plywood rotate the saw in the carriage. Removable wings extend two feet on each side of the main body to balance the sheet. You rip by sliding the sheet through the Panel Saw. Our Panel Saw has a folding stand so it folds flat against a wall when not in use and casters make it easy to roll around.
We offer the Woodsmith Panel Saw plan as a downloadable PDF or a printed format that we ship to you.
Made with common materials and hardware this shop-built panel saw allows one person to easily crosscut or rip a full sheet of plywood.
Step-by-step instructions, exploded views, materials list, and more—these plans have everything you need to build an inexpensive, precision Panel Saw.
