Panel Saws

New and used sliding table panel saws for sale from Minimax, SCM and Gabbiani, from single-phase saws for small workshops to programmable machines for production, plus used Martin and SCM saws when they come in. Every saw is delivered, installed and commissioned by us, with training, servicing and spare parts afterwards, and finance is available.

What Is a Sliding Table Panel Saw?

A panel saw cuts sheet material such as MDF, MFC, ply and laminated boards, as well as solid timber, to size. The sheet sits on a sliding carriage that runs past the blade, so large boards can be cut straight and square without being pushed by hand. Most machines have a scoring blade to stop laminated boards chipping. If most of your work is solid timber, a rip saw cuts strips to width faster, and once panels are cut, they usually go on to an edgebander.

Choosing a Panel Saw

A 3.2m carriage takes a full 3050 x 1220mm sheet, while a shorter carriage saves floor space. A 315mm blade suits sheet work, and a 400mm blade gives more depth for solid timber. Most saws tilt one way, but a double tilting saw (±46°) cuts bevels in either direction without turning the board. Check too whether you need single phase or three phase.
