OK, New York, that's a different Home Depot, where the 20/20 cameras caught the forklift driver screaming obscenities at the 2 terrified Oriental women as he was attempting to load a bunk of drywall on top of them. "get the f--k out of the way!"
Perfect excuse to acquire a new tool. Get the little SkilSaw Tablesaw for about $139. Just clamp it on top of a Workmate.Then have the Depot or Lowes guys cut your 4X8's into manageable sizes, take'm home and run'm thru the saw. Don't get a Ryobi, only the SkilSaw.
The weakest point of the little saws is the fence. Always measure from the blade to the fence at the front and rear of the blade when you set up a cut.
I have a friend who makes cheap melamine kitchen cabinets for re-habs on that very saw. He built plywood table extensions around it so he could handle larger panels.
