Excellent tool for working with large panel stock.

The portable panel saw system works great. I now consider it a must have for working with sheets of plywood. Makes extremely accurate, straight cutting an absolute snap! It was a bit of work getting my Porter Cable saw mounted on the base but now that it is it was definitely worth the time. I very highly recommend this product!

Great Panel Saw System

I had the first version of the portable panel saw, but I lost it when my shop burned years ago. I have now purchased the latest version, and I can see it is much improved. The clamping system is much superior. The ability to double the length of the cutting rail is a great feature. The old system was very effective, but this newer version is very well thought out, easier to use, and more versatile. Sometimes products are changed in order to reduce the cost of production. I am pleased to say this product is built better than before.

PPS Number 2

I have used a PPS System since the early 90's. I have always had trouble clamping the straight edge. The new system solves the problem and is worth the cost of a new one.

Portable Panel Saw review

Enjoy the panel saw very much,the accuracy of the cut and ease of use. It is a very sturdy tool.

Very nice product. Worth the money.

Very nice, solidly made product. Easy to set up! Don't know how I ever managed to cut panels without it!

pretty good if you have no plane saw

Pretty easy to use, simply buy a cheaper 7-1/4" miter saw solely for it (I got Ryobi for $20 in HD). But, 1. the saw mount screws are wrong size, too small for the holes. 2. the saw mount brackets are for saw models I don't know, and use it for Ryobi saw is not ideal. 3. there are two guide bars can be connected to >100", same length and too long. I fee one can be shorter and still keep the concatenated length to be able to cut 97" plywood. 4. when you want to cut a hold say for sink top, it is not so easy because at the beginning you have no guide to use. More bearings and other guides may help you to slow down the saw vertically into board to cut a hole. 5. the tighten nuts are standard and works, not perfect and cannot be used with single hand. This kit is just a basic model. I have Ryobi 3000 table saw, yet sometimes still need this kit. Work efficiency is very low compared with a plane saw, but it works fine for me.

Good guide

Took a while to line up my saw because it has a wide base (Porter Cable). Once lined up the guide works well. Heavy duty rails don't flex and base rides securely on them.

This is Great!!

Very easy to use. Took less than 5 min. to learn and start cutting. The only complaint is that the bolts that are supplied the heads are too small and go through the barring plate, can be fixed with larger head bolts. I do like this system.

Great accessory

This panel saw system is easy to setup and proven to be very accurate. I did have a problem with one rail not being square. But one call to customer service and they send me another rail. Great service.

About.com Woodworking Guide Review

Abbreviated Review: Table Saws and panel saws are terrific for cutting sheet goods. However, these saws aren't much help away from the wood shop. PSI Woodworking has come up with an ingenious and very useful solution. The PPS-2 Portable Panel Saw System makes cutting sheet goods in a portable situation as accurate as cutting them on these more stationary saws…..the system is an absolute delight to work with. The price is decent, and the craftsmanship appears to be excellent. It is accurate, easy to position, and the clamps hold nearly any sheet goods quickly and easily. When cutting, the circular saw literally glides across the stock on bearings that ride on the L-shaped guides. All of the guesswork is taken out of the process.
