Industry Applications
In the late 1940’s Hendrick coined the phrase “panel saw” and applied it to its product for cutting large sheets of material. Prior to Hendrick’s panel saw, the most common method of sizing large sheets was manually pushing them through stationary blade table saws; a practice both non-productive and dangerous. The name panel saw has since become the tool’s generic name used worldwide for a machine that processes large sheets by holding them stationary while traversing a saw blade through the material.
Plastics
When Rohm and Haas, a German chemical company sought to popularize the use of Plexiglas® following World War II, they began referring the Hendrick Panel Saw to their distributors. Hendrick was soon gaining national renown, as Plexiglas® distributors used the Hendrick panel sawing machine to trim the rough edges of their cell-cast Plexiglas®. Hendrick panel saws, the first of their kind to be marketed to the plastics industry, opened new production horizons for both panel saws and the plastics industry.
Plastics Industry Applications
Woodworking
Today Hendrick has one of the broadest ranges of panel sawing, computer controlled (CNC) routing and CNC machining centers available. Hendrick products are best known for their industry leading innovation, high productivity with minimal downtown, longevity, repetitive accuracy, purchase value and award winning support.
Woodworking Industry Applications
Corrugated, Paper and Film Industries
Together with several of the industries largest producers, Hendrick has pioneered innovative methods for corrugated pad production, cutting of corrugated tube products and bi-products and paper and film reduction. Hendrick board converters substantially increase productivity and safety by eliminating manually operated band saws.
Corrugated, Paper and Film Industry Applications
ACM - Aluminum Composite Material
The Hendrick VSA ACM Duo vertical panel saw is unique to the industry. We are the only vertical panel saw manufacturer that offers automatic changeover from the cut-to-size blade to the integrated channel grooving blade complete with precision depth control for ACM panel bending; all with just the flip of a switch. This feature alone saves ample and valuable production time.

Nonferrous Metals
In the late 1940’s Hendrick coined the phrase “panel saw” and applied it to its product for cutting large sheets of material. The name panel saw has since become the tool’s generic name used worldwide for a machine that processes large sheets by holding them stationary while traversing a saw blade through the material. Prior to Hendrick’s panel saw, also known within the industry as a plate saw, the most common method of sizing large sheets was manually pushing them through stationary blade table saws; a practice both non-productive and dangerous.
