The SwapSaw™ DIY panel saw kit from A2 Equipment was designed by Paul Stone, a research engineer for a large airplane manufacturer (now retired). When other people started asking him about it, he decided to make do-it-yourself kits. That's how A2Equipment got started, and it has grown steadily since then as more and more people come to recognize the quality and value of the SwapSaw™
How can we contact you? There is no contact information on your website. Are you taking orders for saw? How can I contact you to ask a few questions? Please let me know.
I do like it mostly because of the overall Simplicity and the factor that it cuts Accurately I’ve worked in high Capacity Shops over the years that have had Commercially available Panel Saws that were always out of adjustment and very unreliable for Precision work Oddly for Projects at my home Shop i could breakdown Sheet Goods faster using Straight edges and a battery powered Circular Saw then using those Panel Saws in a 100,0000 Square Foot Shop with Millions of Dollars worth of CommercialWoodworking Machinery Of Course in both cases i always liked to achieve final dimensions on my Personal Table Saw i exclusively used and built Jigs ,Sleds ,and Other Accessories for that Specific Saw
Esta muy buena pero los nuevos formatos de melamina son más anchos y esta herramienta no tiene la capacidad de corte es de 185 x 275 y no encuentro el precio a la fecha (Actualizado)
I have not published the STL files yet. I am looking at injection molding the parts. Now that you mention an alternate filter, I am thinking that is a possibility. I need to do more research on this. Stay tuned.
Some design considerations this idea might benefit from, a zero clearance insert for vertical cuts and a repositionable slide with saw insert for your rip cut horizontal orientation to get a little cleaner cut and prevent tear-out.
9 years AFTER this video was made, It amazes me how many people still prefer table saws. The knowledge of a panel saw is extremely limited amongst today's woodworkers. They think they are these giant machines that can only do a few things. When in fact, they can do everything a table saw can do, and much more. I have 1 arm/leg, so a table saw is not an option for me. Im currently shopping for a workshed for my needs, and once I find one I like, and it is finished, a panel saw will be the thing I build inside. (Workbench first of course. ) Advancements in linear motion, and extrusions since thus video was made, will allow a more universal design so I can increase/decrease size, depth, location, etc. So thank you for this video! Its people like yourself who refuse to let "good enough" be enough.
Found them at shop.a2eq.com/products/swap-saw-pre-launch-special Problem as usual they claim to be DIY but they are not. The base kit is $799 on sale for $499. You would have to add the $300 saw, About $300 worth of wood stand and casters for panel handling..... Not much of a DIY price savings. For $1600 you get a full setup tested and true ready to go!! Pipe dream not a performance product.
So JA W, what is the alternative? What did you decide to go with. I like this setup as well. It is cleat seems to be a small footprint, versatile and in the price range I am looking for, at least the concept of this. Apparently others do not see this as a good option for several reasons. But you make some interesting observations about additional cost. shop.a2eq.com/
I think it needs better copy. "This is not...instead it's precision...blah" Ok, I'll take your word? But for what? And which parts are the 'struts'? It looks cumbersome in use...possibly better than a conduit saw, but I have been told very, very lttle about it, just some vague invocations about some hoser's supposed life story. Sheesh!! Tell me, sell me, or you get neither my money nor my recommendation! And please add some freekin' usability enhancemets!
The polycarbonate carriage will last for years. Mine is now 8 years old and going strong. The rails are anodized, providing a smooth, durable, low abrasion surface. The Swap Saw is back! Http://www.a2eq.com
This might be just what I am looking for to add to our shop. If you could get me plans that would be great. email is eaglesnestwoodandpottery@gmail.com
