I read that saw stopping technology made progress in congress. May see a lot more deals on saws before a new mandate goes live
I actually ordered this saw a week ago at this price. I currently have a R4511 Ridgid table saw with the granite top. Great saw, but I decided at this price point I would bite. I can probably sell that Ridgid saw for over $400, so that will help offset the cost even more. I already have several Shop Fox tools in my shop and have been pleased with them. Their customer support has always been helpful when I have had a question. If you plan to run this on 220v there is a circuit breaker that you have to upgrade as well as doing the rewire. When I contacted them about what parts were

"*This machine is prewired for 115V operation. 230V operation requires purchase and installation of conversion kit X1888224X."

The part number stated does not show up on their website that I could find. I contacted customer service and below is what I was told.


"We appreciate you contacting us regarding your question. You would need the PX1888224X Circuit Breaker 10A. We have provided a link to view/purchase the item."

https://www.grizzly.com/parts/gri...px1888224x
Volvo famously gave away their patent for the 3 point seat belt. This is similar but I still think SawStop is hiding something because they hold TONS of patents and giving away one isn't going to be enough. SawStop doesn't have the best history regarding altruism.

Since when congress mandate tools technology?
SawStop has been dumping millions lobbying Congress for the last 30 years, trying to force each administration to mandate the SawStop technology.

Quote from petik0 :
Numbers that were floated around back then for license fee were around 3% wholesale price. For the saw in this post, you can assume the sale price is about wholesale. So that's $39 in license plus 300ish in actual parts. Seems well worth it to me.
Stumpy Nubs (YouTube) was indicating that it's a whole lot more than that.

The bigger issue is the parts: $300 in parts means the baseline price of every table saw sold will go up by at least $400.ā€‹

One interesting thing about the SawStop debate that goes unmentioned is that this tech is only available for table saws. I honestly don't know the numbers, but I'd be curious how many injuries are caused by miter saws, circular saws, jointers, planers...

The only point being - while safety is good, it needs to be considered that you can be protected by your SawStop, then walk 5 feet to your DeWalt miter saw and chop off your fingers.

If table saws accounted for 100% of injuries, then you could argue they numbers will decrease dramatically. But if they account for 10% of injuries, it's a different story. Just food for thought.

Supposedly table saws result in the most injuries. But I wondered about that. The stopping mechanics would probably be considered too heavy for miter saws. But electronic brakes could be added and be a lot more effective than nothing.

Quote from Kovaxination :
I appreciate you taking time to give this feedback. That's kind of what I suspected but figured I'd get some other opinions. I do have a dedicated shop but am very new to woodworking. Just got my first decent jobsite saw and I enjoy it. Wasn't planning to get in to cabinets but I'm building a tiny house and ultimately decided the cabinets need to be custom SO I'm diving in. I'll definitely check out your recommendation. As with most on SD, I'm a sucker for a good deal and I've been geeking out on tools recently. Bad combo šŸ˜…
I have a unisaw with an extended cast iron router table attached to it. That thing is heavy. I also have a really small shop, like a corner of the garage small. I bought the shop fox heavy duty mobile base for the saw and it's no harder than moving my shopvac. Sure it's wide and long and cumbersome, but moving it really isn't an issue.

I pulled the trigger on this after couple of hours of online research and YouTube surfing.
I am a hobby woodworker and currently have the Dewalt table saw, which I have had for 8 years, but always wanted to upgrade to a cabinet style.

Here is a comparison of few models from a quality/price standpoint from the highest to the lowest. Of course tax and shipping may vary, but for me located in the Atlanta area here's what these 3 models came out to

#1
At the higher end of the spectrum was Sawstop which on Rockler.com for the basic cabinet model (#BCS35576) came to a total of $3610 at checkout with tax and shipping.

#2
At the mid-spectrum, if I can call that, the Fusion F2 Table Saw at woodcraft.com came to a total of
$2,137.86 with tax and shipping.

#3
At the lower end of the spectrum was Shop Fox # W1888, which I ordered through the link provided in this thread directly from grizzly.com and came in at $1453.65 with tax. Although shipping is free, I opted for the liftgate service $34.


I am sure there are plenty of other models. But from a Quality vs price standpoint I have seen the above models discussed in various forums and the Shop Fox at the price point seems to be a formidable contender, especially compared to Laguna where the price diff is approx. $700 and this was the reason I pulled the trigger on this.

PS: I do understand it is not fair comparison with Sawstop with includes the safety switch.

I'm also coming from the DeWalt jobsite saw (DWE7491RS) and went through the same thought process. I was also looking at the Harvey Alpha series that was mentioned in the thread, but those are in the same price range as SawStop when you factor in the $500 freight. Another factor for me was the used market, and almost everything I've seen around me for the past couple years is either way overpriced and/or has a rusted out table.

If most the stuff you'll be cutting is 3/4" stock, put a smaller (and thin kerf) blade in this 2HP and it'll change your world!

I have owned a sawstop cabinet saw for 18 years. It's a very high-quality saw. If this technology becomes available on a chop saw, I wouldn't hesitate buying that style saw, too. I've grown accustomed to 10 finger and would pay extra for their safety.

Yeah, bosch was very opposed to mandates that they made a superior tech and the angelic altruistic sawstop sued them.

And shortly after sold out to festool. What a morally superior company.

After SawStop won the court case, the changed their tune and told Bosch they could sell their version. Bosch chose not to. That's on them.

Quote from gr8scottaz :
His licensing fees were crazy when he originally tried to get other manufacturers to license his technology and then when that failed, tried to convince the government to force them to add his technology. That being said, while I can't stand Glass, his technology saved my middle and pointer fingers a few years.

You made a good decision. Local woodworker in my hometown, was deciding between a Sawstop and a Unisaw. He decided on the Unisaw, bc he couldn't justify the cost of the Sawstop technology. Besides he has been an advanced woodworker for quite a while, and while a few close calls, he still had all his fingers. Six months after purchasing the Unisaw he had his first full encounter with the blade. He's now missing 3 fingers. When I asked him what happened to his hand, a look of embarrassment came over his face, and he explained the situation, and said there is not a day that goes by, that he doesn't regret his decision. Every time he looks at his hand, or goes to pick up his razor to shave in the morning, or pick up his grandchild.

Edit: Only to add, he also added, that with all his medical bills added up (his portion of the costs), he could have easily bought 4-5 top of the line Sawstop cabinet saws.

Like you, I have been a Sawstop owner for 20 years. I've never regretted my purchase. The technology is worth the cost, the fact that it is a superior tablesaw is just extra icing on in the cake. To each their own I guess, but I enjoy Sawstop, ABS, and airbags. All three have saved my bacon. Oftentimes, new safety technology is mandated, to protect people, from themselves, and protect others from those who have poor decision making ability.

The crazy thing about the situation is I'm an experienced woodworker and what I was doing I had done a thousand times before (making a dado cut for some drawer boxes). The wood just kicked and I guess momentum threw my left hand into the blade (it was nowhere near the blade). I knew what had happened right away but wasn't sure of the damage. It took a little bit of flesh off my middle finger but not much. Definitely stopped for the night and it was weird continuing my project the next day (after I replaced the dado blade/cartridge).

What led me to buy a Sawstop (and sell my PM66) was my brother put his finger into the table saw blade but from the side of it so it just burned down the tip of his finger a tiny bit). That was enough for me to say forget it and spend the money to upgrade to a Sawstop. And now having a Sawstop for the last 5+ years, it's better than any Unisaw/Powermatic/Jet I've ever used berfore. Just a well crafted table saw.
