![]() ![]() ![]() The panel saw is a real time saver making single or multiple cuts for wide parts (>28" or so). I can set the panel saw for one dimension, and the table saw for another dimension, and cut several parts to those dimensions very quickly. I have found, though, that when I have both the panel saw and table saw set up, things go much faster. You can read more about the measurement guide and some other improvements to the panel saw on some of my posts here: I've added a measurement guide with stop to the bottom section of the panel saw to make accurate & repeatable cuts - and that's been a big help. According to the maker of the panel saw, it is accurate to within 1/32" of an inch over 4 feet, and I've found that to be pretty much to be the case. I think you *could* cut all of the parts directly with the panel saw - but I prefer to use the table saw for the smaller cuts. If you have any questions about how I built this, please comment or message me. After building my first set of drawers, I acquired a used table saw, and built a kit panel saw (Swap Saw), which greatly speeds up the process of cutting the sheet plywood to size. My desire is to eventually build something like this in 3 days, as Tom Clark states that he does, but I'm not there yet. Note: I am not affiliated with Tom Clark in any way.įor this Instructable, I've decided to show you the steps that I took to build this workbench over a period of 5 work days. I followed the basic shop cabinet design and assembly approach described in Tom Clark's "Practical Shop Cabinets" (see his 30" x 60" workbench plans on page 16). My previous experience in building shop cabinets with drawers was limited to building the two shop cabinets described in this Instructable: This Instructable describes how I built a 5' workbench with drawers for my son in 5 construction days.
