Hey there, I run a remodeling biz and do a great deal of custom cabinet work. We used to cut our 4x8 sheet goods on a unisaw but we were needing more room in our enclosed shop for other equipment and decided to go with a panel saw in our truck bay. We have had this saw for a year now so I can probably give you a good idea on it. What we wanted was a compact panel saw that would get us close to our dimensions then we could "tune" up our various panels on our unisaw/sliding table combo without having to wrestle with the 4x8's. We looked over this saw's larger cousin at HD and thought that accuracy might be a problem with it. Thus we had lower expectations prior to our purchase. It met our expectations so I give it 5 stars for that but here are the hitches, you'll need to buy the extensions for the 8' panels, and if your thinking of moving this beast then the wheels are necessary. The extensions are just long enough to load a 4x8 sheet without the sheet falling off the outside roller, our mdf panels which are 97" long actually just tip off the outside roller as we load them, they planned it that close! portable - nope not in our opinion, unless you plan on being on site for a long while etc. Accurate? moderately, we can get close but we build to very tight tolerances and it is hard to nail a measurment to a 1/16th". Plus the panel can move around while you slide it through the saw and can slightly alter your cut or the angle of your cut. we made some feather boards that clamp on to the unit and hold the panels up against the metal rails to stop this movement action. (WHy is it we have to jig the heck out of every tool!!??) We go for a 1/4" large cut and then tune up on the Unisaw. We also had to adjust it to cut square after unpackaging, but almost every tool I have ever bought needs some work out of the box. If you want accuracy that is dead on accuracy you need to expect to adjust your equipment and do it often. It took about 2 hours but it had good directions to get it set up. It has held our adjustments since. WE are slicing and dicing probably 15 to 20 sheets a week. FYI this unit is the same as the Milwaukee and at the time was much cheaper so we bought this saw and added the Milwaukee options as they were cheaper on Amazon at the time. But like I said we got what we expected, and we enjoy not beating ourselves up with the 4x8 sheet goods. Best of luck and hope this helpsMost of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Safety Speed Cut C5 Vertical Panel Saw" are high quality item.
