Table saw. How much can you cut?
Hi,
I'm thinking about buying a Hammer K3 Winner 31" X 48". I've never cut a full 8' X 4' panel of any material on a sliding table saw. I've never even owned one, but I had a triton once and I used to cut full panel sheets of acrylic on a large static table that I made which had a sliding over head saw.
If you had a Hammer K3 Winner with 31" rip and 48" sliding table, what is the maximum size panel do you think you can rip and cross cut on you own? I'm trying to get an Idea of what I can get away with.

Can't answer for the Hammer but I have used a small SCM that would cut 1200 using the sliding table. The mob I was working for went to a Steton (2400 cut) then another SCM (2400 cut) Then moved on to 2 Altendorfs which were 3600 cut. Once you use a sliding table you realise just how primitive a saw bench is without the facility. You can really easily cut tapers just by holding the sheet to an appropriate couple of marks with complete safety and accuracy. The sliding table also saved you gut busting the sheet through the saw. They are a marvelous invention and if you believe the propergander, Mr Altendorf biult the first one over a hundred years ago
Just do it!
Kind regards Rod

Don't the specs on the saw tell you that? ... or am I not understanding your question?

Okay, it probably doesn't really apply for too many of us on this forum, really only in a larger scale commercial operations, but next you move up to a beam saw and wonder why you would bother with a sliding table saw. Then you move up to a CNC beam saw and so it goes, a never ending search for 'bling' Originally Posted by chambezio

Actually the question is about your own personal experience. Have you tried to cut a panel larger than you were able to handle on your own, what would your limits be on a 48" X 31" machine?

Which is fine until you want to make a cut that isn't square Originally Posted by HuonPhil
