Who It's For

This is the saw for woodworkers who want the safety brake and are willing to pay for it. It fits serious hobbyists and pros running a 240V shop who want a cabinet saw that arrives well tuned and stays accurate. If finger safety is high on your list, this is the obvious pick.

What Owners Praise

  • The skin-sensing brake works as promised and gives real peace of mind
  • Fence and blade alignment are quick to set and hold their tune
  • The T-Glide fence slides smoothly and locks square every time
  • Three horsepower rips hardwood without bogging down

What Owners Report as Limitations

  • The overarm dust collection could be better and many owners rig up their own fix
  • The blade guards block your view of the cut
  • Saws can arrive slightly out of alignment after shipping
  • You pay to replace a brake cartridge if it fires, including on wet or metallic stock

Upgrades & Compatibility

Takes any standard 10-inch blade and an 8-inch dado stack up to 29/32 inch with the separate dado brake cartridge and insert. Works with SawStop overarm dust collection, integrated router tables, outfeed tables, and a mobile base, and the 36 inch rails can be swapped for a 52 inch setup.
