Safety Speed saws have earned their reputation as the industry standard in signmaking. A majority of sign franchise stores specify our saws as part of their standard opening equipment.

Our saws cut virtually any type of sign material with ease. Because we use an industrial sized 8" diameter blade, we can offer a selection of specialty blades designed to cut any sign material safely and accurately while maintaining a finished quality edge. For those customers with less stringent requirements, lower cost blades are widely available in most hardware stores and home centers nationwide.

Now you are able to customize your machine to get the maximum productivity with our unique sign saw package, knife kit, and accessories. With our intense focus on providing our customers with outstanding products, value, and customer service you can be extremely confident in your decision to buy our products. Give us an opportunity to show you how we can improve your profits by making your business more efficient.

Our sign saw package includes accessories designed for and proven by industry experts. This package will maximize the productivity and efficiency of your panel saw resulting in higher profits for your shop! The sign saw package includes a hold down bar, quick stop gauge, backerboard, stand, signmakers blade, and dust port.

The Knife Kit Allows for dust free cutting of foamcore, coroplast, gatorboard, and anything else that can be cut with a utility knife. The kit includes a quick change knife and saw motor mounting platform, interchangeable knife/saw carriage, and a backer board

Cabinetmaking

Cabinet shops have a variety of unique equipment needs that can be met by several different Safety Speed machines.

Craftsmen find the C4 and H-Series panel saws to be economical choices that maintain the important features and benefits of our larger models. These models feature industrial motors, 5 ft. or 10 ft. completely welded steel frames, 1/32" accuracy, vertical and horizontal rulers and much more.

For tougher applications, our 6400 and 6800 models offer heavier material handling rollers, extra frame construction and worm drive motors. These models guarantee accuracy of 1/64" straight and square.

The most demanding shops find our 7000, 7400, 7400XL and ES52 models exceed their expectations at a price that significantly beats imported machines.

The models SR5 and SR5U saw-router combination machines allow cabinetmakers to switch between a saw and router in less than one minute. Safety Speed's specially engineered router platform floats on the surface of the panel producing very accurate and consistent depth of cuts.

For those jobs that require 36" or less cross dado capacity, our model TR2 is a great investment. This horizontal table router has the ability to do standard dados, cut blind dados and rabbet dados on cabinet sides and full faces in just a matter of seconds. Because the cutting head runs over the top of your panel, there is no dangerously exposed tooling.

To help sand down face frames and any other pieces take a look at our new line of wide belt sanders. We make them right here in Minnesota using heavy-duty component parts to provide years of productive service in your shop. These machines were added to make panel processing easier just like our vertical panel saws. With 37" and 43" wide options, and single or three-phase power, these affordable and durable machines are already helping many of our panel saw customers improve the productivity of their cabinetmaking operation.

Fabricating solid surface? A vertical panel saw or router is what you need to handle those large heavy sheets. Let our 6400 do the cutting and our 3400 do the V-grooving with accuracy in both squareness and depth.

Combine the two machines to get our SR5U. This machine will allow you to have the capacity of the 6400 and 3400 all on one frame. This is the only way to handle solid surface material without breaking your back.

If you find that the majority of your fabricating entails cutting you should consider our largest machine - the ES52. With the ability to move the saw both vertically and horizontally you can save a lot of labor time and have a finished cut the first time.

Vertical Panel Saws
A Safety Speed vertical panel saw will give any woodshop added productivity. The biggest benefit of adding our vertical panel saw is the ability for a single person to cut large sheets by themselves. This allows small and large shops to complete big jobs with less labor.

Our saws also offer improved safety, accuracy and speed compared to cutting big panels on a traditional table saw or with a hand held circular saw. Our vertical design also takes up minimal floor space in your shop, which means added productivity without the need to increase your shop size.

Craftsmen find the H-Series panel saws to be an economical choice while maintaining the important features and benefits of our larger models.

Businesses that require medium to heavy usage and higher precision usually specify our models 6400 or 6800.

Woodworkers with very demanding applications and high precision requirements find our models 7000, 7400 or 7400XL exceed their expectations at a very affordable price.

Our model ES52 is designed for continuous production and tight tolerance cutting. The traveling beam allows the operator to leave the panel stationary while executing cuts. Compared to other European style panel saws, this one definitely delivers the most productivity for the investment!

Wide Belt Sanders
To provide another useful tool for the shop, we recently introduced an affordable line of Wide Belt Sanders. Just like our panel saws they are individually built to order in Minnesota. We build our sanders with heavy-duty components to provide years of dependable use. There are several models in 37" and 43" width sizes, single or three-phase power, and accessory options too. Priced below nearly all of the imports, these American Made machines enable even the smallest shops to improve their sanding abilities.

Routers
In addition to panel cutting and sanding machines we also offer vertical and table panel routers. For dedicated routing in limited space see the 3400 vertical panel router. Save time doing your straight line repetitive routing so you can concentrate on the project details. Accuracy is assured at 1/64" and you can cross rout sheets up to 62".

Another routing option for panels up to 36" is the TR2 table router. Like the 3400, this machine features a specially engineered router platform that floats on the surface of the panel and includes quick stops for an easy one-person dado machine.

Saw and Router Combination Machines
The models SR5 and SR5U saw-router combination machines allow woodworkers to switch between a saw and router in less than one minute. Like the dedicated panel routers, these machines include a router platform that can float on the surface of the panel producing a very accurate and consistent depth of cut.

Whether you're making industrial arts, crafts, metal parts, or stage sets, Safety Speed has a vertical panel saw and/or router that can help your school.

The reason schools love our products is because of the safety, speed and accuracy of their operation. All our vertical panel saws cut with a blade that is behind the carriage so there is no exposed blade for casual operator contact. The carriage is mounted on guide tubes and the counter weight systems make going up as easy as down.

These saws make it very easy to cut a panel. Loading and unloading is a snap because you hold the sheet vertically. In addition to cross cutting (up and down), quickly pull two knobs and rotate the cutting head ninety degrees for rip cutting (end to end).

If your need is to conserve space in the shop, you're in luck. Safety Speed panel saws take up small footprints (floor areas) because they are vertical. The C4 vertical panel saw features a five-foot long frame and the H series feature a ten-foot frame. From front to back you only need 36 inches!

In addition to vertical panel saws, we also offer another great tool for schools - the TR2 table router. This router is mounted on guide tubes and an industrial frame. Now you can safely and accurately make dados for your projects. For larger panels, you can also combine the saw and router into one super versatile machine - the SR5.

Lumberyards were one of the first applications for Safety Speed panel saws more than 45 years ago. These customers realized the benefits of a faster, safer and more accurate alternative for cutting their sheet goods. Today, our saws continue to be an indispensable machine in many lumberyards and home centers. Whether using them for custom cutting customer orders, sizing panels for retail applications or cutting material in the millwork shop, our saws still prove to be a very important piece of equipment in these environments.

Our H-5 panel saw has always been the workhorse for smaller lumberyards. It handles full 4x8 sheets with ease and has a full 64" crosscut capacity. The durable 3 ¼ hp, 15 amp Milwaukee motor is designed to cut panels, including standard doors, up to 1 ¾" thick. The H-5 panel saw comes fully assembled and aligned in our factory to hold 1/32" cutting accuracy, straight and square.

For larger lumberyards and home centers, our models 6400 and 7000 have become the standard. The 6400 is built with a heavy-duty frame, solid aluminum rollers, double bearings, a counter-weight system and a 3 hp worm-drive motor while the heavier duty 7000 features a 3 hp, 3~ continuous duty induction motor or an optional 2 hp, 1~ motor

We offer a variety of accessories that can dramatically expand the efficiency and versatility of your panel saw. We also offer three unique accessory packages that will allow you to customize your machine to best suit your operation at a reduced cost.

Are you just cutting a few products a day? Take a look at our H-Series vertical panel saws. They are able to cut materials as thick as 1 3/4" and as wide as 76". These machines are built with a fully welded and aligned frame and guide system to make sure your final cut is accurate and smooth.

Go with the 7000 or the 7400 for higher production capacity and a larger depth of cut. The 7000 and 7400 is known for its production capabilities.

Whether your need is for plastic sheet fabrication, distribution of sheet goods, or cutting to size for thermoforming, a Safety Speed vertical panel saw is the ultimate tool for cutting plastic sheets.

We offer three different models to match your unique cutting needs. Our H-Series machines have all the important advantages common to our larger models but at a very affordable price. These machines all have 10-foot frames for handling large sheets, industrial duty saw motors and three different crosscut capabilities.

Our models 6400 and 6800 have heavy-duty features for demanding production schedules. These saws feature 3hp worm-drive motors, solid aluminum rollers, double bearings and deliver a cutting accuracy of 1/64".

The most demanding shops find our 7000, 7400 and 7400XL models exceed their expectations at a price that significantly beats imported machines. These machines feature induction motors and rugged H-Beam guide tracks with a precision milled surface to guarantee cuts within .005" straight and square. The 7400 models come standard with a mid-way fence, hold-down bar, quick stop, stand and dust kit.

For our H-Series and 6400 and 6800 machines we recommend the optional hold-down bar, which greatly improves the cut quality for plastic sheets less than 1/8" thick. For quick set-up, we suggest adding our quick stop gauge, which eliminates measuring and marking sheets before cutting.
