Editing Panel saw (section)

==Types==
Panel saws can be vertical or horizontal. Typically, vertical saws take up less floor space.  

Horizontal machines are typically large table saws with a sliding feed table that pushes the material through the blade. Table saws without the sliding feed table can also cut sheet goods.

Vertical saws have two cost types, low cost and higher cost.  Both types have the saw traveling  through the short side of the sheet called cross cutting.  For cutting lengthwise ([[Rip cut|rip) cut]], the lower cost models, have the user slide the material through the saw while the higher cost models have the saw travel through the stationary material.
