Vertical Panel Saw, 3 HP, 120 1Ph (Model 511)

The Powermatic 511 Vertical Panel Saw is designed for woodworking shops that regularly process sheet goods and require accurate, repeatable cuts in a space-efficient vertical format. Built to handle demanding workloads, the 511 combines rigid construction with smooth carriage movement to support clean crosscuts and rip cuts on large panels. A powerful 3-HP worm-drive motor rotates within the carriage, allowing the saw to perform both vertical and horizontal cutting operations with consistent power delivery. Polished stainless steel guide tubes paired with eight precision guide roller assemblies enable the carriage to glide smoothly, improving control and reducing operator effort during cutting. Solid aluminum rollers with outside support brackets help feed material evenly and maintain accurate 90-degree cuts. A true counterweight system holds the carriage in position during loading and unloading, enhancing safety and ease of use. Dual dust collection ports with an integrated nylon brush surround the blade to capture dust from both the front and rear of the panel, keeping the work area cleaner. Capable of handling panels up to 5 feet tall and equipped with built-in casters for mobility, the Powermatic 511 delivers dependable performance for professional shops working with plywood, MDF, and other sheet materials. Backed by Powermatic’s 5-year warranty, it is built for long-term accuracy and durability.
