Tilt-Out Panel Cutting Guide

Affordable panel cutting guide can be built in one weekend using standard 1x lumber (3/4"-thick softwood). Hardware is available at any hardware store or home center.

Cut 4' x 8' sheet goods horizontally and vertically, and cut smaller sheets as well. The bottom of the guide tilts out when you're using it, and back against the wall when you're not. The finished size of the guide is a little longer and wider than a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood. And it sticks out about 6" from the wall when not in use.
