Sign Makers Panel Saw and Mat Cutter Combo Machines

Sign shops cut a variety of materials from MDO board, plastics, thin sheets of aluminum, Dibond,®, Foam-cor®,  Sintra PVC, acrylics, Gatorfoam®, Lexan, plastics, Nu-Alum®, White Wood Smooth, AlumaCorr™, Poly-Metal, SIGNABOND, DIBOND, GATORFOAM, SINTRA, Coroplast®, COREX, more materials. Cut them all with our one machine! We created our Sign Maker's Panel Saws to fit your specialized needs. You no longer need to buy a panel saw and a mat cutter: you can have both in one machine.

Why are these machines ideal for the Sign making industry? The Saw PorterCable-Saw can be used to cut rigid materials. The Knife cutter Knife can be used to cut softer materials quitely and cleanly like corogated plastics, foam boards and other material that can be cut by a knife in one pass.

These machines can cut all Sign materials up to 1.75" in both directions, veritically and horizontally with saw or knife. Compared to Mat Cutters that only cut some materials in limited thicknesses in only one direction, they don't restrict what you can use, or what size blank you can make.

Compact models come in two sizes, 52" and 64" cross cuts. These models are perfect for space restriced shops or if portability is needed. They have the same cutting capabilities as the Full Size models. Because of the size frame, they can be moved easily but their limitation is they don't fully support material to be cut as the Full Size frames do. The Compact model is shown with an optional mid fence.

Full Size machines handle full size sheets with no problem or the "teetering" that can occur with the compact machines. The Full Size 64 shown can easily handle a 5 by 10 foot sheet. It uses 18 material support rollers that glide your material into place to be cut. This model is available in 52", 64", 76", 88", and 100" cross cuts. The Full Size model is shown with an optional Mid Fence.

Message from the President. We sincerely try to make all of our machines as simple and user friendly as possible. Our panel saws are safer, easier to set up, easier to use, and better engineered.

Our hand cutters work better, cost less and are safer than other comparable brands. I'm a hands on kind of guy and personally test all of the products we sell. I want you to be happy with our products.

Please let me know of any suggestions or improvements you might have and I will do my best to improve the product on our next production run.

Remember, you see the finalized version. You don't see all of the rejected versions that weren't simple enough or easy enough to use. ---- Michael Della Polla.
