I came here expecting to hear and see some of the main differences in how they operate. Only thing I really picked up new is where the trunnion is mounted.

If it helps, I have a breakdown on my page I put out a few months ago that breaks down why I upgraded from contractor to cabinet - hope that helps

You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice kzfaq.infoUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.

Had i known the contractors saw would be improved years later i might have waited to get mine. The back on this one is more enclosed and the rear trunnion looks more accessible than mine.

Save yourself some money and get a regular mobile base. The sawstop base only has 2 swivel casters and takes a lot of space to turn. Also the linkage makes it harder to enclose the base to improve the poor dust collection. The safety brake is great though.

The industrial mobile base when fitted on the PCS is incredible. having had both, I definitely agree that the 2 swivel version is very meh

There were not Saw Stop saws a hundred, or so, years ago yet where I lived all the wood machinists working with table saws (big heavy, cast iron, industrial contraptions) kept all their hands and fingers. Not so with the planers, whish were armed witth two bladed square axles, and cutt off whole men's fingers and hands. Men learned to take care of their hands with table saws, not so with the planers. Would not saw stops lull the operators into false sense of security. I have actively worked with diverse table saws for some seventy years, and still do, and I still have all my fingers. Cheers.

how is it on power? where i live its a slightly more than 1/3 of the price of a pcs so I'm unsure if it will achieve everything i want to do with it

You are worth hearing for your personality if not for your excessive simplicity. Did you really start your work a hundred years ago? By comparison, by being only ninety three years old, I have some catching up to to. I am looking for a good table saw. Harvey 4 hp seems like a good start; but how do I get one in Australia? Bloke from Aus.

So for average Joe hobbyist where will the contractor saw fall short?

@rockler 3 жыл бұрын

A contractor saw will cover almost all of the needs of a hobbyist. The only thing it might fall short on is it might struggle when cutting thick, dense hardwood.

Will end up causing you a fortune if you use it with a generator. Get a lag in power and the brake engages. So for contractors working on sites without clean Electric it’s a no no

It’s ironic most cabinet shops no longer uses any table saws. They cut their panels with a cnc. And this is just a saw stop ad.

So why is it again you thought you needed TWO table saws? I can't figure out how you can use more than one at a time. Sort of like being single and having two 4 wheel drive pickup trucks in good working order.

@mikegilbert5434 3 жыл бұрын

Ken, you’ve obviously never done any even medium scale production work. No shame in that, it’s a tough profession. I’ve had times where three saws would have saved 10-20 hours per week. It was not unusual to have half a dozen different routers pre set with bits and jigs. A one man shop doing single pieces and hobbies with no real deadlines allows fir a lot of setup time.
