Great, but I stopped at the pic of the Home Depot guy cutting wood. Neither HD not Lowe’s saw has been working in my area for nigh years now.

As someone who worked at HD, it entirely depends on the mentality of the person that does the cuts for you. If you get the older guy that loves helping people then you'll probably be good. If you get the department head that has to help you himself because everyone else called out sick? You better ask for an inch bigger than your actual final dimensions.
Mid morning on a weekday is the best time to get the former. That's when the retirees work and it's after the early contractor rush.

I don't think anyone's worried about the panel saw not cutting right...

That's good to hear hopefully she gets a few tips. I have a video of the build in my bio with additional info. Man I wish my wife would at least help :(

This timing couldn't be better. My wife started a built-in storage bench literally last night so I sent this to her and she's very excited to go through it.

Like I told another person for this project they did a good job. I asked for 16" and i got 16". This is a bench and it was good enough. And if a person didn't have a table saw it would be good enough over a hand saw. One time the guy asked me if I wanted to adjust saw before cutting - I was like sure and it was perfect too!

>This not only ensures precise cuts
spit my coffee on this one. Those cuts are anything but precise. parallel? maybe. within an inch of what you requested?

The panel saw is pretty close, I always get it cut like 1/4 inch too big and cut it closer on my own.

16 inches is 16 inches right? I know its not likely all the time but for this project it was on the money and saved me the pain of wrestling a 4x8 sheet on my small table saw :)
