Milwaukee’s 8-1/4 in. Panel Saw is an ideal tool for lumber yards with its quick and easy solution to cutting up to 4 ft. x 8 ft. sections of sheet goods to size. This unique saw has a cutting accuracy to within plus or minus 1/32 of an inch and a material thickness capacity of up to 1-3/4 in. The saw also features an innovative horizontal handle for convenient on/off saw operation as well as a 20 Amp, commercial-grade paddle switch for long life. The 6480-20’s frame is made from tough, electrically welded steel to ensure it won’t warp or twist. The powerful 15 Amp motor is mounted on a carriage that moves horizontally with minimal effort on graphite-impregnated nylon roller bearings which require no lubrication. The saw can also be turned 90 and fixed to make vertical cuts. Horizontal and vertical scales provide quick and accurate cuts. The material being cut can be loaded from either the left or right side and gently rolls through the saw on a smooth acting roller mechanism. The Panel Saw is not recommended for ripping panels larger than 4 ft. x 8 ft. The extension kit accessory, 49-22-8108, is recommended for cutting sheet goods over 6 ft. L.

This is the second one I purchased. The tool needs a lot of wok to calibrate. The saw plate bolt hits the back plate and you will need to correctt that. It is a manufacturing error. Not a deal breaker but annoying. For the money it is a good tool just takes more wok to set up than you might expect

I purchased the panel saw and was amazed with its accuracy. With a few minor adjustments the saw cut perfectly. All the parts were there and everything went together in a short period of time!I would reccomend this saw to anyone who has limited space and wants a quality saw! I t is well worth the money spent!

I have owned 3 of these and currently own one with all the attachments. I also own job site table saws, cabinet table saws, hand operated circular saws…..but the Milwaukee panel saw is the tool I cant be with out. This is my main cutting tool for large goods and I use it for everything from wood, plastic, PVC, foam, 48″X96″ sheets to 2″X4″s, deck planks, etc. currently using it with the red rollers on the inside and white high impact rollers on the out side. the flaw in this tool is the roller system which is hard to calibrate so that all the rollers are straight and in line. I have tried everything from 12ft angle iron to laser sighting to line up these rollers. Im at the point where I wish they were not adjustable and came perfectly aligned from the factory. when I need to make accurate cuts…i remove the rollers and install straight square stock tubing on each side of the blade. this allows perfectly straight cutting. with the rollers…the shorter the wood..the less wheels it rolls on…the accuracy falls. this is a great tool other wise and takes up little floor space. I use the mid fence kit a lot and the sliding stop. I have extensions on both and it really helps with large 48X96 sheets or long wood stock. this tool is worth every penny and will pay for itself with the time it saves to.

Great saw, very sturdy machine lots of power.Not sure why the panel extensions are not included??? Most cuts are 4×8 sheets and you need the extensions to safely make horizontal cuts. Also, buy the wheel assembly makes rolling it out of the way very easy! Next I’m going to purchase the vacuum hose attachment, the machine can create a lot of saw dust.
