wtnhighlander Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 If Sawstop offered their saw WITHOUT the brake system, would anyone consider it a good saw for the price? How about if it was $500 cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosephThomas Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 On one of the podcasts I think Marc and the guys estimated the SS brake technology was valued at around $600. They did this by comparing the SS price with similar quality saws, ie.. comparing the 1.75hp SS to the pm1000, etc etc etc, and taking an average.

Then comes with an extra regular brake cartridge and an extra dado cartridge. Call that another 150, so the deal is 750 off the new price. Its better then nothing but not exactly the deal of the century to give up on a warranty. I will probably be buying a sawstop soon, but I live in maryland and don't want to travel that far as well. What I really want is for them to run their free mobile base promotion again. Depending where in MD you are located, the Woodcraft store near Wilmington, DE may be an option. No sales tax and if you pick up the saw there is no delivery charge. In DEC15 I had a family event in Wilmington, we swung by the WC store on the home trip. I had sent a deposit on a Sawstop about a month earlier and it was waiting for me when we rolled in. Drawback is that you need 3 or 4 stout friends or some lifting equipment to get the saw unloaded.

Jfitz Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The SS PCS 3HP with 52" table is clearly, by far, the best table saw in my shop. Does that count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabinfever Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I actually got mine for $550 less than new, but had never been used. Guy bought it then his work sent him overseas for a couple years. he had set it up, but never ran a board through it. After owning it, I chock the extra cost to insurance etc and the like. Its probably the one part of the cost that my wife approved of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
