Homemade Panel Saw From Pipes And Castors -- Every Workshop Should Have One!

- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Panel saws are great for cutting up big 8 x 4 sheets of plywood or chipboard or mdf or whatever. They cost thousands to buy though, so I made this one a few years ago now and it cost maybe 40 euros plus the skil saw that I can still use separately if I want to. It is brilliant! I use it often and it has to be one of the most useful tools I have. The long spring is just to keep the electric flex out of the way.
If you think this might be useful to others please like and share. Thank you!
When I saw the hi-tech counterweights the laughter burst out of me. I couldn't help it! Well done! See? You don't don't need expensive and fancy. You need available and functional! Very impressive! (As usual!)
Same
It was definitely a milk squirter
I just... how can you not love this set up. I especially like that you don't even try to get fancy. You just use what you have and make it work. Dig it.
That has to be the most humble description of an excellent piece of work I've ever seen. Getting all of that square would not have been easy!
I thought getting the saw Plum and bottom track level would have been square. Am I wrong?
I have seen many home made versions of this tool. This is bar far the best. The use of castors as guides on the vertical tubes is the light bulb moment. Excellent.
It's a miracle! I've spent two nights burning my brain while imagining how to build my own panel saw, and then this pops out in my RUclips suggestions. With some minor adjustments and materials, this will be it. Thanks a lot, genius!
Glad I could help!
Nice! Out of all the cool tips I've picked up from, better builders than me, on RUclips, this might be my favorite. Forget Japanese joinery...I'm building a panel saw☺
I built one of those 20 years ago. Still have it. Still works great. I use sash weights for counterbalance.
Now this is what I have been looking for! Someone that fabricates something from simple tools that make a complex accurate cutting, repeatable panel saw! I am going to make one! I have had a need for just this type of tool when cutting birch plywood for cabinet making. I have a table saw, but it requires a lot of space to cut full sheet.
you are like me. Get the things done, with the materials/tools we have. Awesome one.
Very nice. This is better than an expensive table saw because it takes up less space. 🙂
Isn’t it funny how life works? I was thinking about searching for panel saw videos just before I opened the RUclips app, and there you were in the first row of videos!
Oh no you tube is wired into your brain 😂
Brilliant simple design
Finally found what I was looking for in a panel saw. Thanks for sharing.
That is an awesome RUclips! You've made it, posted it and now I'm able to make my own with parts I have and a limited amount of "out of pocket money" mainly for the Casters. Thank you Sir.
Beautifully done Tim beautifully done.
Enjoyed all 2 minutes and 49 seconds. Brilliant!
Superb.Will have to try building this saw.Also love the so simple tool for carrying 8x4 sheets.
Thanks for putting this on RUclips.
Gary. Make the jig a few feet taller, then you can rip your sheets till your hearts content.
It's no big deal.
David gives the input and it is up to us either to use it or modify it.
One should be able to build this panel saw for under £100 including a new cheap saw.
Great bit of kit David.
Jeff
tactus100 Thanks Jeff. (It's Tim actually, but I've been called much worse!)
Better and more affordable than anything I have seen.
Awesome. I plan to build one. A panel saw is very useful since the saws in HD and Lowes usually have terrible blades and cause a lot of tear outs.Thanks much for the idea.
it don't have to be pretty just effective and you definitely made it effective. Good job
This is excellent!
You sir are the real deal as far as wood worker goes. Just your pile of "sraps and left overs" says it all!
Has to be the best video ive seen on You Tube for a long time..brilliant and thank you for making me smile
Great looking OES. I have to give this a try
Simple, safe. Beautiful design. Thanks for sharing!
Norm Abrams never had one of these!!! Well Done!!
I am a do-it-your-selfer and you are my inspiration. I really want to build this for myself in the future. You are the DIY'er I want to be. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations!
Simple and efficient!
Very very nice!
Thank you, friend!
I'm talking from Campinas - Brazil
It is simple, but really smart and effective!
Have to love this panel saw!! 😍
Wow, up ya boya! Brilliant, just brilliant.
im gonna make that one.. creative design.. that high tech counter balance make me chuckle..hahaha..
Brilliant thank-you, your stop on the cross cut saw is excellent too 👍😎🐝🐝
Thanks, Bob : - )
Another project to add to the bucket list.
Great idea, simple design, easy operation and best of all, made with low cost/free materials.
One improvement I would make is a half max board length exit guide. By having BOTH input guide and exit guide hinged they could easily fold up vertically to minimise the storage space for the unit (always an issue for a shed or a shop).
Great work on the video and I like the hi tech humour. Like Einstein said ...
"Things should be as simple as possible ... but no simpler!"
This is Awesome! Great simplicity...and functional to boot!
A carbattery and a paintbucket.......brilliant!
Very good
"....high tech counter balance" LMAO!!!! awesome contraption, simple and efficient. Thanks for sharing SIR!!!
Good job. I want to make a horizontal one. Thanks. You inspired me.
Excellent !
Honestly! You are a great inspiration!
That’s terrific thanks
What a great and simple idea ! Wonderfull !
Nicely done! Smart piece of kit.
You Sir are an inspiration.
I was thinking of building one like this (just an idea - not quite as sophisticated as this*) and now I saw this saw ... you're a genius and an inspiration. * I really love the high-tech counter balance ... ME LIKE!!!
LosoIAm OH, and thank you for putting this video up.
Nice job!
This is so simple it's brilliant, I wanted to do something like this years ago, but without any welding facilities at the time I shelved it, if I had come up with this I could have saved myself a lot of time and effort, the really annoying bit is I have all the bits I need in my workshop!, including the scaffolding poles, one refinement I would like to suggest, particularly if you are working in a small out-building say a domestic garage for example, and don't have room for the high tech counterbalance since your saw frame is against the wall, what about using a large spring, some from an old trampoline should give enough tension to support the saw, I think I will definitely do this now, I love the simplicity, and I certainly can't afford to buy one ready made, also there is great satisfaction in building your own stuff, very well done sir!
Nice video, I really like your sheet handle. I use my claw hammer for my handle, its usually on my hip anyway. Your panel saw is nice and simple and has given me ideas how to build one myself. Thank you for sharing.
I really like your sense of humour!! nice job.
Excellent my man! I don’t have a shop anymore but I wish I had thought of that many years ago. I enjoyed this video. Thanks.
very good excellent and quick service. ..thanks
That is brilliant. Why didn’t I think of it. I need one. Many thanks 👍
Great Build
You Sir are a F ing genius. Love it and it will be built.
David Blain Cheers David. Yes, it will be built, but how long will it take?!
I can only think of on word " Awesome "
Gracias por compartir esta genial idea. Dios te bendiga siempre!!.
Me too! I want one.
I like how you edited out the complicated part.
It looks like it may cost me $20.
For some of us fighting floor space when working full sheets or long lengths this could easily be built outside, and easily remove the saw when not in use
Fantastic ingenuity !! Cheers from the US!
That's pretty good! And I love the video itself. Very easy to watch.
I just had to haul around a 3/4 inch sheet of plywood to cut for the coop. could have used the carry handle and panel saw...of course I need a level surface first. Fantastic inventiveness!!!
Thanks, Chris - yep those 3/4" ones are a heavy alright. Mind your back : - )
Very good idea...God bless you.
Slick! Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love your build - I'm also quite jealous!
I really want to make one, thanks for sharing!
It's a very good thing that we're not closer. Because I would hug you.
Ha! Happy it helped..
That cheered me up....'board goes in...board goes out...in...out' too funny XD
Simply lovely
second time iv`e watched this in two days and i must say it is brilliant and simple a must for my garage projects great video keep up the great work
Muy bueno el video saludos amigo Daniel
Love it and the comments are pure entertainment!
Nicely done, now all you need is a project that will use the Tesco trolleys you cut the castors from
great idea, simple and effective!
Nice and simple as all good tools must be.
01:34 Couldn't get more *high tech* than this - ha, ha. Totally *wicked* .
very very cool
I'm definitely making this. Awesome.
Beautiful Land
This is very clever. Would love to see the evolution of this that cuts horizontal as well come on you can do it. The swivel mount off a bar stool might work to spin the saw. Just an idea.
very impressive...
WOW! Exactly what I was looking for!!! A hundred thumbs UP!!
and all without the audio!
These are all things I have ready access to and thusly will get a panel saw that would have cost me over $1000!
Thanks from Kansas, USA!!
Thanks Trapper John - glad this helped. : - )
No,.. thank YOU!!
I will have to figure out a way to be able to turn the saw for long sideways cuts.
Thank you so much sir. GREAT ideas here. Have a wonderful day.
Great video! Simple and elegant great design!
Ingenious. I would put an extension for the cut off pieces so they don't mar after being cut and fall on the floor, and rig the saw so it tilts 90 degrees with a pin and lazy susan to rotate and stop for horizontal cuts. Counterweights are cool...
That's a very interesting high tech counter weight
Nice work on the saw !
Ah the inventive genius of the Irish 2 b sure
Magnificient...you had me hooked at the handle and then came the twirl..to the panel saw tally ho! and what a little beaut it is. I think I'll make one, cheers from NZ.
I'm going to be making one of these! Great idea!
Brilliant
my friend U R a genius !!!!!! i love it !!! 2 thumbs way up for you !!
Thank you! Cheers!
This is magnificent! Even I can built this.
Damn you're a genius. I just got my first circular saw and I'm gonna try this (I already have all the parts you need too!)
What a great idea thanks
Love it
Cool work. Thanks for showing.
Excellent Video. Very simple design and looks like it will last based on the simple elements. Love It!
I know what i building this weekend now!!!!!
Very good idea
