The panel saw is ideal for cutting manufactured boards ( also known as man-made boards). It is suitable for sheet material, such as MDF and chipboard. The panel saw is regarded as a requirement, of a typical woodworking / cabinet making workshop. These saws have a greater TPI (teeth per inch) than ripsaws and crosscut saws and are usually 500mm in length. |
When using a panel saw, the manufactured board is placed on two sawhorses. The board can be clamped down using a G-clamp, if required. The person sawing, kneels on the board, holding it down. The hand not holding the saw, also presses on the board, adding further pressure downwards. |
