Vertical panel saws are no strangers
to the building trades. I've seen one in
just about every lumberyard I've been
in. In an effort to get these saws onto
the building site, Safety Speed Cut has
introduced a portable contractor's
model. But "portable" is a relative term
here. The frame of the model C-4 is 5
feet long (compared to 10 feet on the
larger versions) and weighs 148 pounds
(compared to 200 to 250). The saw
stands 6 1/2 feet tall and is about 30
inches wide, so it will just fit through a
conventional doorway. But even
though it's big, it's small enough to
move in an open pick-up truck to the
