Feature Comparisons for the Saw Trax 1000 series panel saw:
-
Look into the dust shroud blade window and you will see the saw's light illuminate the blade for easy alignment with a cut mark.
No window on theirs. -
Feel the smooth and precise pull of the bearing system on the carriage.
They use a U-bolt with plastic washers. -
Enjoy the benefits of a dust collection system that collects dust and prevents you from being pelted with saw dust when rip cutting.
They use a clear vinyl tube that has to be adjusted for every width of material being cut that gets pushed into the saw blade in the first week of use rendering useless. -
Never worry about your saw not cutting square because of the patented set and forget Accu-Square alignment system.
Other panel saws have 13 adjusting points that can get their saw out of square. -
Have the ability to use a router with your saw or other cutting tools. Some customers have purchased two saws with "dedicated" saw blades for cutting different materials to save the time of changing the blade. Some have used a wood saw and swap it out to use a metal cutting saw for sheet steel.
You would be stuck with their saw.
-
Have the benefit of using a standard 7.25" blade.
They use an obscure and expensive 8" blade. -
The off the shelf Makita 5007F saw allows you to easily repair or replace the saw.
Their saw is proprietary and you will be paying far more to replace it. -
Our folding stand comes attached from the factory using ladder hinges and 10 lock nuts. The frame wheels also come attached from the factory. Our machine is not on the wheels when in use.
You have to attach their stand using U bolts and angle iron. Their saw is always on the wheels making it less stable. -
Use our stop on either side of the saw. Use the stop extension bar for cutting strips.
Their stop can be used on one side only and does not have the strip bar feature.
