Panel Saw

[DrStein99]

I want to build a panel saw. It would handle a sheet up to 4' wide, and around 10' long. I would make my own head, something like a 2" spindle on a gearbox so I can arbor a steady blade to make cuts in various materials from wood, plastics, phenolics, up to aluminum and maybe mild steel.

Does anyone have any links to plans or resources I can grab to design the frame, and research?

There's a good one in the ShopNotes Issue #88 as well.
