Description
Some bays are wide and shallow, and some work is long and narrow. The PERFORMANCE 8W is for both. Instead of 24″ × 48″, the cutting area runs 48″ wide by 24″ deep, so the full four-foot width of material lays across the table and you cut it in 24″ deep sections.
Who the PERFORMANCE 8W suits
Shops with a shallow bay or a wall behind the machine, and shops cutting long parts where width matters more than depth: shelving, cabinet backs, wide signage, long trim and panel components. If your parts are deep rather than wide, the standard PERFORMANCE 8 is a better layout for the same footprint.

What we see most often
Orientation is the part of this machine buyers think about least and benefit from most. Before choosing between the PERFORMANCE 8 and 8W, lay out your five most common parts on paper at both orientations. The right answer is usually obvious within a few minutes, and it saves a return trip to the configuration stage.
