Quick Take
If you need a powered vertical panel saw for sheet work, the Safety Speed Manufacturing C4 Verticle Panel Saw is the standout, with listed specs of 3.25 HP, 15 amp, 120 volt power, a 50-inch maximum crosscut, and a 96-inch maximum rip cut. For a hand-tool direction, the Harvey W. Peace P68 offers a 20-inch 11 TPI blade, while the E.C. Atkins No. 65 is a 16-inch 11 ppi antique original with a Perfection handle. The Freud LSB45007 is the blade-only option for an 18-inch horizontal beam saw. See the price table below for the listed range.
Listed-Price Comparison
| Product | Listed Price | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|
| Safety Speed Manufacturing C4 Verticle Panel Saw | USD 1,600.00 | |
| Harvey W. Peace P68 20-Inch Panel Saw | USD 199.00 | |

What Matters in This Lineup
One useful way to read this mix is by work type. The Safety Speed C4 is the only vertical panel saw in the set. The two antique hand saws serve anyone who prefers manual cutting or wants collectible saws. The Freud blade is not a standalone tool; it only makes sense as a replacement part for a beam saw. Matching the tool to the shop's workflow matters more than the price gap alone.
Decision Matrix
- Sheet cutting from a vertical machine: Safety Speed Manufacturing C4 Verticle Panel Saw
- Vintage hand-saw work with a longer 20-inch blade: Harvey W. Peace P68
- A 16-inch antique panel saw with a Perfection handle: E.C. Atkins No. 65
- An 18-inch blade for a horizontal beam saw: Freud LSB45007
Product Notes
Safety Speed Manufacturing C4 Verticle Panel Saw
This used C4 is the powered option in the group. The listing describes it as a working unit that comes with everything shown in the pictures, and its listed details include a 3.25 HP motor, 15 amp, 120 volt power, 8-inch blade diameter, 50-inch maximum crosscut, and 96-inch maximum rip cut. It also includes a 1/32-inch cut accuracy and a 5-foot cable length. The trade-off is the footprint and commitment: it weighs 189 lbs and measures 60 x 11 x 70 inches, so it takes up significant floor space. The used condition should be judged from the photos before deciding.
Freud LSB45007 18-Inch Panel Saw Blade
This is the least expensive listed item in the group. The title identifies it as an 18-inch panel-saw blade for horizontal beam saws, with model number LSB45007 and Italian origin. The listing text says the blade looks as if it was sharpened or fitted with new teeth. If your beam saw takes an 18-inch blade, this is a direct replacement part. If you need a saw body or motor, this listing is for the blade only. The condition is used, so inspect the tooth edge in the images before committing to this replacement.
E.C. Atkins No. 65 16-Inch Panel Saw
For a hand-saw collector or a bench saw user, the E.C. Atkins No. 65 has an antique-original US-made frame, an 11 ppi edge, a Perfection handle, and a good visible etch. The listing says the factory Damaskeen finish is still present and that the saw has a slight bow and light surface rust. That condition detail gives you a realistic picture before you buy: this is a used antique with minor cosmetic issues rather than a pristine example. It is also shorter than the 20-inch Harvey W. Peace, so if reach matters more than the Perfection handle, the P68 is the longer hand saw.
Harvey W. Peace P68 20-Inch Panel Saw
This antique hand saw stands out for its 20-inch 11 TPI blade and the Vulcan Saw Works Brooklyn etch. The longer blade gives it more reach than the 16-inch Atkins saw, which can matter when breaking down wider panels by hand. The listing says to see the pictures for condition, and it is described as antique original and used. If you want a hand saw with Brooklyn history and extra blade length, this is the strongest match. The main limitation is the same condition question: these are used antiques, so the etch and handle should be confirmed from the images before you commit.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
- For powered sheet-good cutting, the Safety Speed Manufacturing C4 Verticle Panel Saw is the full machine choice.
- For a hand saw with a long 20-inch blade and Brooklyn etch, the Harvey W. Peace P68 is the match.
- For a compact 16-inch antique hand saw with a Perfection handle, the E.C. Atkins No. 65 suits the bench.
- For a replacement 18-inch blade on a horizontal beam saw, the Freud LSB45007 is the direct part.
