Long cuts are typically more off than others because the saw gets warped over time.

usually first cut is free...each additional cut I'm thinking 50 cents or so...they are usually off up to a 1/2 inch...but If you talk to the cutter maybe throw him a $10 spot ...he can probally get you some precise cuts...They can't do angles...only straight cuts...so you are limited

Not if the machine is jacked up. The panel saw isn't designed to do precision cuts, it is designed to rip.

I had them and Lowes cut for me a few times, even when they tried they could never get anything square.

I was going by a sign I saw by the Panel saw...I've never had them cut anything for me personally....

first cut is free, every cut after that is $0.25. they use a cabinet saw and most do not know that the blade cuts 1/8 in off the wood. I am a vendor at HD and usually have to explain to ppl looking to get cuts to an exact measurement is about impossible. I usually get the cuts done for them.
