Meatwad Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I've decided I want the sawstop jobsite pro but finding it online is hit and miss. I normally order my tools from amazon or HD but this is not available there. Anybody have opinions on woodcraft or rockler? Or some other place to recommend?

JohnG Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Welcome! Sawstop.com or one of their dealers, which can be found on their website. Woodcraft and Rockler are popular woodworking supply chains. Both are sawstop dealers and if you have one near you they will be able to get the model you want.

Mark J Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 If you are looking to buy a new sawstop and have it shipped, the price will be the same wherever you buy it. What will be different is customer service and shipping cost. Are you near any bricks and mortar retailer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Are Woodcraft and Rockler franchises or company owned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Woodcraft stores are independently owned. Not sure about Rockler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnesota Steve Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Interesting. Amazon used to sell Sawstop. It looks like they've got a landing page and everything. Just no stock. I wonder why. I have local Woodcraft and Rockler and they're both decent. Also Grizzly sells Sawstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkinneb Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I have had really good luck with both Highland Woodworking and Acme Tools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 I believe Rockler stores are company owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jussi Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Really love my local Woodcraft. As noted they are independently owned. The owner of the one near me is super helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 The real problem in finding tools right now is a lot of places went through Covid shut downs and it is taking time to get the supply change fully operational again. SawStop is in Oregon, a state that was hit pretty hard in this whole thing. I have seen many comments elsewhere of people waiting months to get Sawstops they ordered. Powermatic and Festool are that way too on some things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaguy Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 I got my PCS from here SawStop - Product Brand - This IS Woodworking I live in a state that has onerous sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark J Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Nowadays it's pretty hard to avoid paying sales tax on internet purchases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted April 1, 2021 Report Share Posted April 1, 2021 Yeah they passed a federal law that forces businesses to collect state and local sales taxes and send it to the proper place now. If a business doesn't collect it they violate interstate commerce laws. It has worked i do more business locally because i'll pay tax regardless but locally i can save shipping costs at least.

Also if you make a purchase online that you don't pay your states sales tax on you are supposed to declare it when you file your tax return. Our CPA asks us every year almost as soon as we sit down at her desk and yes I am honest, almost to a fault, I find I sleep better that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Meatwad Posted April 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Well, I looked around a lot but after hearing wtnhighlander's recommendation I went to the nearest Sawstop dealer to me which is in Bartlet, TN. I would definitely go back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
