My SawStop table saw is the heart and soul of my shop. 99.99 percent of the projects that get built in my shop at one time or another will see the table saw. It is important to me to have a finely tuned, well-constructed, and a darn good looking saw in my shop. The PCS is exactly that.
It is a SawStop of course, which means, it has their patented flesh sensing technology. But if you look at the saw itself and take away the SawStop technology, you will see an extremely well-constructed saw that would easily be at the top of the charts. It very well built, the tolerances are extremely tight, and the overall experience with the saw is wonderful. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
*Saw is perfect **MyBest.Tools** , stable and accurate. Very easy to use.*
Thank you so much for this video. After thinking for some time about what brand of saw to buy and listening to many others speak about it, I will buy it for myself. I will add the router table extension for mine.
FYI I have owned sliders that have positive stops for the cross cut fences and every single one has to be checked for squared up to the blade and adjusted. I my opinion the slider attachment for this saw works extremely well compared to some of the other big brand sliders.
Thanks for the coverage on each item, this helps alot.
Really appreciate that review, one of the only ones that honestly talks about the sliding fence. Have you considered the large sliding fence? It seems to have positive stops with a much larger crosscut capacity.
Good review, thanks for going over this.
Very good review honest you said what was on your mind and covered it well 👍
I am looking to purchase a new table saw and looking at all the options. Thanks for a great review.:-)
Nice review. Thanks
Another great video!
Very good review mate, the sausage looked a little nervous though so I hope you cooked it up for a nice meal, I respect the tech behind this saw & I think it can only be expanded on. This saw costs about $4200 Aussie dollars here so I think with caution & a good set of specs similar comparable saws fit the budget better, 👍🏻
Sounds like you may be over raising the saw when moving. Seen others say even with the ICS 3 pumps is all it takes...
Great review less the 1 inaccuracy. The blades are not junk once activated. The block that's fired is aluminum, which is softer than the steel blade. A simple sharpening and it's good to go. Unfortunately, been there, done that and got the sharpening bill for proof :)
Hey Amigo, nice nice work. Good material. One piece of advice that's not very easy to find BUT... at 4:58 you're installing what looks to be a Freud blade with anti kickback teeth... DO NOT USE a blade with anti kickback teeth on a SawStop. SawStop doesn't communicate it well, but will verify it if you call them. The raised kickback teeth interfere with the brake cartridge and increase the likelihood of a serious injury exponentially. There's even a couple videos out there of guys getting torn up bad with a anti kickback blade on a SawStop.
That’s big. Thanks.
you are correct, thanks for informing people
all table saws should have this safety option.
Other manufacturers were not willing to pay the inventor to use this technology. He offered it to all of them, they all said no, so he started his own saw company.
ANOTHER GREAT REVIEW ANDY!
I would keep that fence and just get longer guides for your track saw. You will get better cuts.
Yeah, go ahead and go ahead...
Great review. I have a question for you: How do they deliver the saw? Do they provide lift gate service? Do they help to deliver the packages INTO the garage?
Mine was delivered by freight truck with lift. It was unloaded and rolled to the garage. Be sure and ask who you buy it from about how it is delivered.
The blade brake going off is startling, but searching through a mound of sawdust for a missing digit is traumatic.
I don't see the value in setting off the brake when you can quickly google tablesaw injury photos, which can provide a more accurate account of what you could be avoiding by carefully using your saw. The goal is to NOT be familiar with the sound of the saw brake, but to avoid it ever happening.
When the power is shut off, does the sawstop feature work when the blade is coasting?
I imagine so. But the blade has an electrical brake also for this. Seen others say it stops in 3 seconds. No coasting..
Why does everyone doing the "hot dog test" slow down to an absolute crawl before making contact with the hot dog? I want to see someone pushing that dog through at a normal speed. If it is really my finger, I'm not going to slow down and gently make contact with the blade and my finger. Every online demo I've seen slows down to be barely moving when the hot dog hits the blade.
I could not agree more. I have always thought the same thing.
I was thinking the exact same thing!!
@@sz72909 Me three. Apparently this thought comes up once a year...
Completely agree

These are nice saws but they are so out of price range of the average or low income woodworker. They keep throwing it up, well how much is it worth not to cut off a finger. Well that's a messed up guilt trip. Make these saws affordable to everyone not just people with perfect Credit and nice homes in the burbs. P.S no one wants to loose a finger .
One trip to the ER will cost you much much more than the $2,000 for a saw
This is a bull shit statement these saws are actually underprice and if you can’t save up 275-350 a month for a year then you have a of lack financial discipline
Still got all your digits?
Excellent review sir! Thanks for being very thorough and honest!
what is the vertical height of the saw
Hey, I'm fixing to take the plunge and get what you have in this video. My question is on the sliding table. You said you love it and hate it. Could you go into a little more detail on it? There are not very many reviews on this. My next question is on the top dust collection. Would you recommend that or not really worth it?
Regarding the sliding table, if you have the room to the left of your saw, yes get it! If you don't it won't be utilized and a smaller cross cut sled would be better.
I could leave the top dust collection as I feel it gets in the way. But for some cuts, it is nice to have.
Thank you. I was just at the store looking at the floor models.
They are top notch saws. My advice would be to go to a 3 or 5 horse. I wish I would have went 5 horse
The guy at the store said that if I'm not cutting 2" hardwood all the time that 3hp is really all I need. They don't make the professional in a 5hp do they?
dear.
how much does this machine cost.?
Just about $3200.
Good price for such perfect machine.
It’s about 4 G’s “dear”
Did sawstop sponsor you?
No
This is a trivial detail, I just want to say that tt 7:34 you said the centrifugal force pulls the blade down; it's actually inertia that pulls it down, but again, trivial detail.
That is a great point. Sorry for the error.
It's ok, as I said, it's a trivial detail.
Blade says "Made in China"... I don't have a problem with that in terms of quality. The quality is either there or it isn't but some may not want to buy from China at the moment.
Where is the rest of the saw made? Looks like a good piece of kit.
So here is what i cant understand if you buy 1.75 hp version but want to upgrade to 3hp version they charge you 430$ and they pretty much swap motors, so you get 3hp and they keep 1.7 hp , and both motors are taiwan made , but if you buy 1.75 hp model and just go to leeson website they have 3hp table saw motors for 526$ usa made and you keep ur 1.75 hp u can sell back or keep for what ever project !!!!!!
What about that can't you understand ? It sounds pretty logical to me.
Don't upgrade to a bigger table jus get long track guides for your track saw. Better cuts!
If you get good tracks!
just bought one yesterday,,and other than the safety it provides,,its way overpriced,,and weighs a ton,,im taking mine back before i get stuck with i
Really? What have you got now? Happy with it?
I would keep that fence and just get longer guides for your track saw. You will get better cuts.
