The Benefits of a Sliding Table Panel Saw

[Brenda Bailey]

If you're looking for a piece of woodworking equipment that will make your work faster and easier, you may have thought about purchasing a woodworking electric motor digital panel saw. The question is, are they worth the investment? It is definitely more expensive than the standard hand held woodworking machine, but does have a lot more features that make it worth the extra cost? Let's take a look at some of the differences between these two very useful machines. In this article we'll see what makes them so special, as well as how you can save a fortune when you purchase one.

The digital panel saw comes with both a table and a blade. The saw blade is available in several different types of cutting options. One option has a deep diamond pattern, another option has a double edge blade, and the last option has a sawdust like material that reduces the chatter that other thin blades cause. They all basically operate on the same concept; the blade spins, cutting the wood while avoiding breakage along the edges.

An important feature of the digital panel saw is that the blade can also rotate at different angles, which increases both the cutting depth and the angle at which the piece is cut. This feature works similar to a table saw, only on a smaller scale. Because the blade is so close to the surface it is subject to less friction and therefore will cut down on cleanup times. Another advantage of using this type of model is that you won't experience the same level of fatigue that you would experience from a table saw, because it is so light. When the blade is spinning at different angles, the motor needs to generate less RPM, which means you'll spend less time heating up and cooling down your machine.

Another option available on the saw blade is a rip fence. A rip fence is basically a piece of material, usually made out of PVC, that acts as an additional guard to help protect the actual blade during ripping action. The rip fence will also cut down on chatter and vibration, because it will cut into the material when the saw blade is cutting. It is a very useful addition for any serious digital panel saw, but is often found on cheaper models.

Finally, the best option for protection and extra strength is a heavy-duty saw dust collection bag. These are typically found on models that are over ten inches in length and have either plastic or metal panels. The bag is attached to the blade by a series of hooks and straps, which can then be adjusted according to the length of your work area and the amount of dust particles that are present.

If you're still considering purchasing a new saw, consider making the switch to a sliding table panel saw. The saw blade is actually the most important part of the saw, because without the blade, the entire saw will be of no use. In fact, you'll rarely use it all the time, so the best option is to purchase the best one you can afford. You can even find deals that will allow you to save money on the entire saw. There's no reason to spend hundreds of dollars on a new panel saw when you can get a high-quality saw for much less.
