. I want to rip 3 mm plywood,40 pieces at at time. I will cut 8×4 plywoods into 2 inch by 8 ft strips. It is so many cuts. My question is: is mks130 ec easy to push on rail when cutting full depth..i dont want to be exhausted. Or should i consider a smaller mafell. Cutting full depth with mks130ec is tempting,can cut the full pallet faster without moving them to a cut table..i will cut everyday.. want to make sure before i buy. Thank you

I think that should depend on the speed you're making the cut with and the weight of the machine. Will you be using a rail? If it has not to be 40 sheets in one go, you might want to look at the PSS 3100, a semi-automatic saw for sheet goods.

Thanks for your reply. I will be using a rail. I am considering other options. Waiting for more feedback.

Why do you need to cut them all at the same time? A bundle of 40 sheets of plywood is going to be seriously big, heavy & unwieldy to cut simultaneously. Even with the guiderail placed atop the stack, you'll still have to be extra extra careful with guiderail placement & ensure both the entire stack & rail array are extremely well clamped to guarantee uniformity. When your stack of plywood sheets diminishes in width after multiple passes, it's bound to get inaccurate, wobbly & insecure.
Just about any well set up table saw (with outfeed & edge support) or panel saw will be better. You can rip at the preset width all day long with individual plywood sheets or bundles of up to about 10 (or maybe even 20) or so much more efficiently, accurately, quickly & above all safely.

Huntsgemein thank you for your reply. I can already cut 20 sheets at a time with a rail and a skill saw without any problem. I am trying to figure out if i can reduce the time and effort with a bigger saw Maybe i should settle with 20 sheets at a time. Thanks

Yes, you certainly can reduce time & effort, 20 @ a time... with a table saw.
Once the fence is set, it isn't touched again, as you pass the bundled ply over the table. No fussing, no marking, no adjustment/s, no tipping, no wobbling, no hoses to drag around. Just continuous cutting. Trying to cut thick bundles of ply into 50.8 mm strips 40 at a time just sounds like a monumental PITA, not to mention downright dangerous for the last few cuts you'll be attempting in a narrow high, unstable stack of thin ply offcuts. Trying to use a monster hand-held saw for this type of narrow, fine work sounds like a recipe for disaster
A panel or table saw with an offsider tailing out will accomplish the task in about a tenth of the time, and will minimise the risk & severity of accidents to boot.
Your bundles can be stabilised with Ducting tape at either ends @ your preferred 50.8 mm spacing intervals to facilitate uniform cutting & assist in handling & stacking your strips.
