Product Overview

You’ve seen how effortlessly vertical panel saws operate in home center stores—fast, precise, and easy to use. Now, imagine a portable version that’s even more accurate and versatile. As my old Drill Instructor used to say, “If a man can conceive it, a man will achieve it.”

The Varsity Series Vertical Panel Saw delivers the power and precision of larger machines in a compact, portable design. Not only is it more affordable, but it also outperforms home center models thanks to its innovative quick-change carriage. This unique feature allows you to swap in a router, pivoting razor knife, glass cutter, or rolling shear, making it the ultimate cutting solution for professionals who demand flexibility and efficiency.

Why Choose the Varsity Series?

The Varsity Series isn’t just a scaled-down version of a full-size panel saw—it’s a superior alternative to the vertical panel saws found in home center stores. Here’s why:

Unmatched Accuracy & Smooth Operation

Unlike home center models that rely on U-bolts with plastic rings, the Varsity Series uses real steel bearings, delivering an exceptionally smooth and precise pull stroke.

Set-and-Forget Squareness

While home center saws require up to 13 adjustment points to maintain squareness, our factory-set Accu-Square alignment system ensures permanent precision—no recalibration needed.

Cost-Effective & Readily Available Blades

The Varsity Series is equipped with a Makita 5007F 15-amp saw, using standard 7.25″ blades that are easy to find and replace. Home center saws, on the other hand, require expensive and hard-to-source 8″ blades with proprietary saws—leading to longer downtimes and higher costs.

Advanced Dust Collection System

Our Dust Brush surrounds the blade, containing sawdust until it’s efficiently evacuated by a larger 2.5” vacuum hose. Competitor models use thinner hoses with vinyl tubes that require constant adjustments and are often damaged within the first week of use.

Versatile Quick-Change Carriage

More than just a saw, the quick-change carriage allows seamless switching between cutting tools, including a floating router, pivoting razor knife, aluminum composite rolling shear, and glass cutter—giving you unmatched versatility.

Designed for Ease of Use

Lighted Viewing Port – Align your saw blade effortlessly with your material marks.
Center Step Design – Prevents small pieces from falling and bouncing back into the blade.
One-Person Folding Stand – Unlike competitors that require two people, our stand folds easily like a ladder.
Stable Frame Wheels – Only engage when the machine is in use, ensuring stability.
Faster Cut Setups – Features dual rip gauges for cutting in either direction and a versatile stop system (with an optional mid-fence) for strip cutting.

Compact, Portable, and Cost-Effective

Essentially, the Varsity Series is a more compact and affordable version of our 1000 Series Vertical Panel Saw—providing the precision to cut sheet goods up to 1¾ inches thick in a portable and budget-friendly package.

For professionals needing accuracy, versatility, and ease of use in a space-saving design, the Varsity Series is the ultimate cutting solution.
