Solid. Comfortable and fast to use. Highly recommended. Well made. Easy to use. Looks good.
A luxury for a small shop but a nice tool.Milwaukee 6480-20 15 Amp 8-Inch Complete Panel Saw System with 50-Inch Crosscut I know there are less expensive ones (and plenty of more expensive ones) out there but it is a Milwaukee with a Milwaukee Saw Motor. and moves like a load bearing wall.). This is my 2nd panel saw from Milwaukee. I set it up in about an hour or so and installed a set of wheels (get the wheels this saw weighs over 150 lbs. I wish I had had one earlier.
I also have the extensions which I discovered I needed with 8' panels to stay accurate. The first one got damaged in delivery. It came about 10 days later in great shape. I had a project involving t-111 and oak plywood (brooder boxes) and went right to work. It was the Thursday before Good Friday and no one was around back east where the saw originated. First of all, what a tool.
I called Milwaukee CPO here in California and they assured me the new saw would be on it's way ASAP and the old one would be picked up. Too easy.
I wasn't sure I needed it, but I wouldn't give it up now for anything. For anyone who has ever cut a 4x8 sheet of plywood on a table saw, you NEED to get one of these. That being said though, it is very durable. Like all Milwaukee tools, this saw is simply the best. It is as accurate as you are, and doesn't even take up as much space as one would think. The only negative is that if you have it delivered, I recommend that you have at least two people to move it, it is pretty heavy.
This panel saw, according to my son, whose saw it is, is convenient and precise, more square than the original sheet goods, he says. When you need a panel saw, nothing else will do, and though you can have sheet goods cut at the lumber yard, doing it in your own shop is a lot more convenient. That's enough for me.
