I am 65 years old and because of arthritis am no longer able to lift
melamine panels up onto the table saw-- and cutting sheet goods has been
problematic for me for over 30 years.  I compared brands at the Las Vegas
show last summer, studied out the various features and prices, and----

I can't tell you how delighted I am with the design, the finish, and the
accuracy of my SawTrax panel saw.  But equally important I can cut up 3/4"
melamine sheets with ease.  I move the sheet goods across the floor on a
dollie, then only briefly have to lift them into place. The unit is so
versital  that several of my older tools are now unnecessary.

Thank you for:

1. outstanding customer service
2. a product which performs as advertised, both the circular saw and the
router plate.
It is so fun to (with little effort) place a sheet on the SawTrax and know
that my cuts will be right on, and inexpensive blades seem to cut about as
well at the Forrest "Duraline" which I purchased.
3.  The mid-fence is a must for crosscutting small pieces.

I have found it beneficial to have a small home made support at either end
of the saw so that I can first lift the end of the material onto that
support and thus not load the rollers with all that weight.  Then I simply
lower the panel onto the rollers.

Also, when I am concerned that my material might move slightly while being
sawed or routed, I simply clamp it in place---the SawTrax frame provides
unlimited places to anchor the material or to place a temporary stop when
duplicating cuts.

I enclosed the small area behind the rear center of the frame with sheet
metal and attached a dust collection hookup.  Someday I may upgrade to the
unit which, as you say, "really sucks."

Let me start by saying that I knew nothing of the operation or costs of panel saws.  When we decided that our needs warranted purchasing a saw, we did a tremendous amount of research on panel saws and ultimately selected your company's full size 52" saw with a few options.

We selected your company for several reasons with price being a main consideration as this saw was close to $1,000 cheaper than the other model we were considering.  The old saying of "you pay for what you get" kept haunting me in the back of my mind and I was somewhat nervous while waiting for delivery of the unit.

I can't tell you how pleased we are with the saw.  It started a couple of days after we ordered the saw with an email informing us that the saw has been shipped.  It showed up right on time and the best part; it was very well secured and packaged, exactly like your picture on the website.  Uncrating the unit was a breeze.  The first thing we did was watch the video CD that came with the unit.  After a brief 30-minute lesson that the CD gives you, we were able to put the saw in use in less than 30 minutes later!

As far as operating the saw it's very easy to use.  The lift and turn saw plate feature is fantastic, as is the enhanced dust collection system.  After a few minutes of use with this saw we could tell that it was made with attention to detail.  Although the cuts we need to make do not have to be dead on exact, the cuts your saw gives us are dead on, right out of the crate.

If anyone is thinking about purchasing one of these saws but is feeling somewhat uneasy about price, quality, etc., feel free to share this letter with them as we would be more than happy to give you a big thumbs up!


Good job and keep up the good work.
