- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ค. 2024
- I got a SawStop 3HP PCS Table Saw with a 36" TGlide Fence! WHAT! I am so excited to get this saw! I have wanted a SawStop since I started woodworking and researching table saws to buy early on in my woodworking journey. It has always been outside my budget to get this saw but I have always aspired to get one. So much so when I built my outfeed table, I built it to the height of this saw, not knowing when I would get the saw. Check out the video for my top 5 reasons for getting a SawStop.

Wow thinking ahead with the height of your bench is GENIUS
WHAT A BLESSING! It's awesome that there are still people in this messed up world willing to help others.
You are very worthy of having this the Sawstop tablesaw. No need to feel guilty, you are giving us all a lot with your channel and your work.
You are a stand-up human being and a great person.
Thank you
Gratz on the new saw. Good things should happen to good people.
thank you
100%
@@731Woodworks Thank you for all the inspiration.
That is Awesome! You are making some great content and doing it with your faith upfront. I see why you are receiving such gifts. Keep it up!
As a newbie woodworker and still learning this feature has saved me from injuring my fingers. Worth the extra cost for the safety
Yes. A real blessing. I too was blessed this year too.
It amazes me how generous some folks can be. You're a lucky guy to know people like that!
As a wife AND a woodworker, I’m VERY happy to see this saw in your shop simply for your safety. I’m certain that Amy also breathes a sigh of relief knowing how much safer you are. God bless the donor. I’m sure you will forever be indebted to his kindness and generosity. 😊
Yes I will. Thank you
The blessing is that YOU empower guys like myself, a 50yo with a career in something else, to reach for that dream of being able to provide for my family outside of what I’ve done for decades. Keep it up, Matt. You & Amy are a beacon of hope. God bless.
Hey Matt, I have the 1.75 version for several years now and used the safety feature once. Oops, making trim molding out of Trex decking and my feather board would not hold the soft material to the fence so I was holding it tight with my hand. Long story short, I was only humbled, God is good even when I do dumb stuff. It's worth every cent!! Praise be to God!!
Wow. I bet that was a scary feeling!!
@@731Woodworks It was and embarrassing but if telling the story helps save one injury it's worth telling. Thanks for all you do ☺️
I have the Delta T2 and it has served me well thanks to your and other videos on squaring everything. congrats on the Saw Stop cant wait to see what you can make with it.
Oh my goodness!!! I just got a saw stop and I kept wondering why my blade was just a little bit out of alignment!! Thank you for explaining that I need to adjust the table! I must have missed that part of the manual. For real, that saved me from a lot of headache!
So happy you were blessed. Your gratitude speaks to your character.
Great review! I got a saw stop over the Delta, because of the safety feature for my fingers. I have the contractor saw. At the end of the day it’s a hobby for me and I need my fingers. I’m fortunate enough to have a budget that allowed to pay way more. Definitely gives peace of mind around the shop especially with young kids that like to hang out with dad when he is building.
I have had my 3 hp SawStop for about 7 yrs. now. The laminate surface on the right side has held up just fine. The blade that came with the saw is a pretty good one. However, I chose to use an inexpensive blade for a little while at first, because I knew I would do something to trip the breaker. And I did (hit a piece of metal). Now I have the blade with the tripped breaker attached hanging on the wall by my saw as a reminder. Using better blades ever since and no more trips. I love the saw.
WOW! How blessed are you? That is awesome!!! Congrats. I am saving to get one as I write this. My wife helping me cut some door molding and she asked me a question while I was making a cut. Fortunately I was using a push block and I that split second of distraction I nicked the block. WHEW! It wasn’t my hand or fingers. Upon showing her the Saw Stop videos her only comment was “you are getting one!”.
Congrats! What a blessing! I'm hoping to get my Sawstop around the end of the year. Keep up the great work!
Congrats on the Saw Stop, very much blessed and hope you continue to be blessed and bless others. This video helped change my mind on getting one of these, been looking and thought of a grizzly but the safety with the SawStop and this video helped make the decision easier.
Such a wonderful blessing. The safety feature of these saw has them high on the list of products we will be getting for the nonprofit as well! Congratulations!!
That’s very nice of your brother in Christ. And indeed for alot of people this saw is way out of there price range , but it’s a very nice saw.
Greetings from a Dutch viewer
I'm in low informant myself as well as a carpenter as another full time job. I would love to have a lot nicer table saw (SawStop). Thank God for you budy and the message your sending. Worthy of a Change Home Improvement
Wow what a blessing! I actually was considering looking for a delta when the budget allows, but the more I think about the safety aspect, the more I want the SawStop contractor saw when I upgrade from my job site saw. Love the fact that you passed your delta on to someone that needs it. Blessings are best when we can turn around and bless others! Subbed and can’t wait to see what you create with this beautiful gift!
You’ll be happy. The Sawstop is a much higher quality saw.
Man I'm so happy for you. You're a good man. You deserve that saw.
Thanks 👍
So happy for you. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed for having it given to you. He, and we think you deserve it. And take it from an old guy with half a left thumb. I would gladly have my thumb intact for $800.
Congratulations on your Sawstop. I loved you sitting in the chair at the end of your driveway!! I recently got the Contractor model with the 36" fence and cast iron wings and LOVE it!. I live near a WoodCraft and had them deliver and set it up for me.
Congrats on the new Saw Stop; I'm very happy for you!!! Solid review and I completely agree on wood table insert; it should be cast iron. I've tried to find an insert for mine with no luck. Overall, a great saw with a fantastic safety feature. Enjoy.
That’s an amazing gift. Thank you brother for what you do.
I really LOVE how you pay everything forward. I have always given away something that works, that I replaced with new. I only asked that they do the same in return, to bless someone else. I truly enjoy your videos.
We’ll said Matt. I couldn’t believe how much these table saws go for and to know how safe the machine is. I’ve been looking for a job site table saw for my garage. So I think I’m going to save and save but I think I know I would feel comfortable knowing how safe the saw is. The wife might think I’m crazy for spending this much on a saw but at the end of the day we all need to go out there and work. Thanks for the video. Have a great day
This is definitely a blessing. One day I'll have a saw stop of my own as well. I have a job site rigid right now, it has been good, but I find myself needing a bigger one from time to time.
Starting out with a borrowed Ryobi gable saw myself. Looking forward to upgrading to a Delta or maybe the new Rigid line. Keep up the content! I enjoy the videos.
Just got the 1.75 and I agree completely with your assessments. Very excited to use it
Thank you
Congrats. I'm glad u didn't back out of getting qhat u really wanted. Way to often people overlook the what if but seems like God blessed you and he guided u on the right path as well
This is just wonderful! Hoping the Lord continues to bless your channel. Very uplifting to watch your videos for so many reasons!
If anyone out there has ever even so much as used a small rotary blade (think cutting vinyl vertical blinds to length with a round rolling razor blade on a stick), it does make you realize that a quick accidental brush with it can draw blood.
I am so happy to see you get this specific table saw. I am also happy to know there are really good people out there who just want to send a gift to make you happy - what joy!
It's very obvious how humbled you were by this man buying you the sawstop
Congratulations on the Sawstop. Saw the handcuffs hanging in a background shot in a previous video, now I know why. Retired NYSP here. God Bless you and your family. Keep making informative and worthwhile content. Thanks for what you do.
Congratulations on your Sawstop. I have been saving up for one for awhile now. I was configuring them on the websites and I know you can get a cast iron extension for the 36" can also get a cast iron extension with a router slot cut into it if you'd like. They run about $150 for extension and $450 for router extension
Congrats on the new saw, Matt. That's fantastic.
Praise God! Awesome to see you living your faith brother!
Bless that man! Great channel and great choice in Saw Stop!
Amazing review Matt. I'm super stoked for you. Congratulations. That looks like an awesome saw. It's on my list. Lol. The safety of this tool is second to none.
Thank you Mike!
God bless you and the person that blessed you . I just about lost my thumb about 2 weeks ago, still recovering and getting better everyday it happens very quick.
Wow that is awesome. Love watching your videos. Keep up the great work
That’s pretty awesome! I’m late coming to the channel but really enjoying your material. I’m just starting in the hobby but have always loved the craft and been in awe to what woodworkers can accomplish. I recently purchased a Dewalt job site because of a cheap entry and wanted to save for other necessary tools to assist in my beginnings. Haven’t even cut a board with it yet. The hope is to upgrade if things progress to show a return on my initial investment. Feel like I have to start somewhere and can’t jump too far into the deep end. But God willing, things go as I hope and I can create masterpieces that I can look back on with a sense of accomplishment. Keep the content rolling as it’s really helping me on where I start in this craft.
You are absolutely right about ,everything should be premium . Love your videos I been watching from your beginning , interesting to see you progress to where you are .
Thank you!
Its also my dream saw as I have at the moment a terrible contractor bench ryobi beginner saw. Thanks for a honest and Godly review and God bless you
Congrats on the new saw. This is my dream saw as well. I currently have a 1952 Delta Unisaw. It is a good saw but doesn't have a lot of safety features. I also would like a left tilt. Congrats again Matt.
That’s amazing brother. So glad you have been blessed in this way. I am a new Ag teacher, and I am planning to get. A Saw Stop. We don’t currently have a table saw for the shop, but when we get one it will be a Saw Stop. As the teacher, I couldn’t justify having a table saw that isn’t a Saw Stop. I know we are probably going to have some shop accidents, but I I can save just one students fingers, the investment will be work that it. By the way, I showed my one of my classes your five projects that sell video. They really enjoyed it.
Great video! You have convinced me, getting a 3 hp Sawstop, but with the 52” extension.
Hope to pick mine up next week. Thank you for the review, going with the 1.75hp
I've been thinking of buying a cheap table saw. This video changed my mind. Thanks. Someday I might be able to get a sawstop.
Congratulations on the Saw brother you deserve it God bless from the UK
That’s awesome. Great story. I really liked how you gave away your miter saw to someone in need. Very cool! I love the channel and your videos. My dad was also a police officer. Thank you
Congrats on the new Saw! I was hoping you can make a video on making cabinet and dresser drawers. Your videos have really been great mentorship.
Been waiting on this video congratulations and we’ll deserved! Excited to see future projects.
thank you
I definitely want one of these! I almost lost 2 fingers yesterday on my table saw! 11 stitches later, I am very blessed! Eventually….
That is a beautiful piece of equipment Matt. That's one of the long term goals for my woodworking. I have the Delta T2 and it's a great saw, but I never feel comfortable using, plus my 10 year old son is interested in what I do and wants to learn, so something with the safety of a Sawstop is a must have future investment. I also 100% agree with your feelings about that wood table and especially the miter gauge. That looks exactly like the one on the Delta T2, and at the Sawstop price, that thing should come with an Incra level piece. Thanks for all the amazing content Matt!
Thank you.
Congrats on the saw, and that brother of ours is all sorts of awesome! I didn't know you're prior LEO, I'm about to retire from law enforcement after 21 1/2 yrs. So, thanks for the service you gave for 13 yrs, now God bless you in what you're doing now!!
Congratulations on the new saw! Just saw your interview with Steve Ramsey and you talked about building a router table. You also mention limited space in your shop. A lot of people install a router lift on the wing of the SawStop so just wanted to make that suggestion
First let me say thank you for your service in what ever department you served. Secondly, WOW what a blessing! God is so good! I am excited to see what comes from your blessing. Thanks for all the great video content. I have learned so much from them. I can’t wait to clear the cars out of the carport and try my hand at some of the projects you have shown. Bless you!
Thank you
I think you did a tremendous job on your video, it’s obviously from the heart. I wanted to commend you on your choice for a table saw, I believe your reasoning was very sound and I hope you get a lifetime of enjoyment from your SAWSTOP. I’m and old time worker who incidentally only has 7 fingers remaining. I fell victim to a table saw exactly in the manner you mentioned --I got complacent and I paid the price. I’ll be paying the price for my arrogance for the remainder of my life. Good choice my friend.
Stay safe,
Cheers from Toronto 🙏🏼
Congratulations, getting jealous, yet God has blessed me also with tools…appreciate you Matt and Amy
Beautiful saw! Still using my 25 year old Hitachi hope to upgrade to a better saw soon. Did just get the dewalt 734 planer been wanting for 2 years lol awesome planer bought at home depot for 370 out the door! Keep the go content come god bless!
I have been a woodworker since my teens, i am 62 now and have been in a wheelchair since i was hurt in a car accident at 23 years old. i have had plenty of of industrial saws...three Uni-Saws and a powermatic 66 and loved all of them. when i moved a couple of years ago, i decided to sell my last beloved Uni-Saw and purchase a 3 hp sawstop. if it wasn't a quality built saw, i wouldn't have purchased it, but it is very well built and works great. not only does it have the safety features, the dust collection works great. cutting wood from a sitting position is an adventure at times and i have had my share of close calls, but i am happy with it so far....good luck and have fun!
Congrats! What a great blessing! Just wanted to point out one thing, the blade in your video has anti-kickback shoulders on it, this is not recommended by SawStop as it can slow the ability of the break to stop the blade. It will still stop it, but should you have an accident it can increase the severity of an injury. I've had my SawStop for about 6 months now, and it is a true joy to use! Enjoy it!
So happy for you Matt GOD is good all time your a great inspiration for us is never made TH-cam channel without you soon as I find mic I can afford I’ll be making more
I started with a $20 lapel mic from Amazon that hooked to my phone. Worked fairly well
That’s a good looking saw and an incredible story of generosity. The Jobsite Pro is on my short list for next year.
Had the SawStop for many years it has save me serious injury at least 3 times since. 25 years ago I lost 2 finger tips on a table saw that dramatically affected my life so its was a no brainer when SawStop came out. Understand that Felder now has a similar technology but haven't seen any or pricing. Very simply if you use a table saw without the technology sooner or later it will "get you"; also its a quality machine.
I am glad you highlighted the safety and the cost of an accident. I have a Sawstop and would never own a tablesaw that didn't have the flesh detecting brake. People can talk about how safe they are all day long, but if anything ever did happen, even the most minor nick that causes you to get a couple stitches, how much will that cost you? It is just a no brainer that the price premium is cheap insurance.
A blessing in deed. Once I heard it had a flesh sensing stop i was sold on it and starting researching. I saw this video and just confirmed that I need to save up. This and the festool miter saw. It’s going to take anwhile😂
My buddy just got this saw, and gave me his old Rigid with the Incra fence system. That was a huge upgrade from my regular Rigid saw with the standard fence system. He also bought me Jet bandsaw for the business. Its humbling indeed. Keep it up mate! Blessings.
Nice! How do you like the Jet bandsaw?
@@731Woodworks the fence on it is great! Once it's dialed in you can do near perfect resaw and rip cuts. Like the sawstop, it's a bit of a pain to get adjusted though.
Matt, I’m a Flag Maker and had the same Delta saw as you did. Back in February, while cutting up boards, I pushed my left pointer into the blade. I was very lucky in that it really just cut into the flesh and didn’t hit the bone. I had been telling myself that I was going to get a SawStop in the future. Well, the next day, I ordered mine. To me, after my experience, there is no price you can put on the safety feature of the SawStop. Plus, it really is a great saw.
Wow, so glad you weren't hurt worse!
Congratulations, I am almost as happy for you as you are!
Thank you
I had to look it up but I've had mine for 9 years now. Never once regretted it. Fantastic saw....and it will at least try not to remove my finger. Which is more than I can say for any other power tool in my shop. I've only set it off 3 times. Two were unexpectedly wet wood. One was grazing the side of the blade with my finger when a piece kicked out before I expected. It's so insanely fast. Having seen it go a couple times I feel reassured that this technology works. Getting ready to put a slider on it but beyond that I can't imagine ever needing to replace it.
I'm so happy you got the saw you needed. God is good all the time. It was such a blessing for you and the channel
I could be wrong but I thing the table extension is made of wood and melamine so you can easily put a router lift in and use it as a router table as well. I've seen some people add it to saws and maybe sawstop was thinking ahead, that would be cool if they were. I plan on getting a sawstop when I move here Ina few months. I love your videos so much. Your one of the first channels that I started watching to give me inspiration to get into wood working. Thank you and God bless
Great job on all the content. I always enjoy watching your videos. A SawStop is my dream saw as well. I can tell you from experience that you could buy that saw two times over for that split second of loosing focus. The emergency room alone was $5,000+. I still have my thumb and it works at 98% but missing some feeling on the last half inch or so. Keep God first and enjoy that saw, you deserve it.
Similar situation. I have full feeling, but the thumb bends about 90% of normal. Plus the nail is a little funky where the two sides meet along the cutline.
Superb story and it warms my heart to hear that pure generosity still exists.
Now, back on the saw. Or more exactly on your first reason, Safety. I can understand one chooses to pay for the SawStop save-fingers stuff something like 30 to 70% more on other comparable table saws. What is more difficult to grasp for me is that someone would be focused on safety AND avoid using a blade guard especially while ripping 2.5 to 3" material. To each his own, I guess.
Just saying'.
I use to work for a bullet proof company we had this saw in our shop. Since the first time I made a cut on it I've wanted one in my home shop. One day I'll get one.
Your brother in Christ gets a virtual fist bump from me! Congrats on the machinery and keep building!
Thank you 👊🏻
With this not being sponsored by the manufacture you are able to be completely honest about your observations. 👍🙏☝☝
Glory be to God ..I have been waiting years for this saw and cant afford it. I make my living with woodworking and feel you have been blessed so much..I am happy for you.
For a long time, I’ve said “I won’t get a table saw until I have the confidence to get a SawStop.” The safety features behind it made me feel comfortable in using a table saw while still following all the safety practices that come with such a powerful tool of course. But for a long time I’ve been putting it off. Often times while working on a project I would tell myself, “a table saw would really help me out here.” After seeing your video from a while ago where you first revealed your SawStop and saw how happy and excited you were, I took it as a sign! I got mine assembled a few days ago and can’t wait to use it on my next project. Thank you for inspiring me and many others! I remember finding your channel a while back and immediately got inspired to start woodworking. It was like your channel was put in front of me to hear your wisdom and start creating. You keep inspiring me to become better at my craft!
Congratulations on the new saw! You definitely deserve it! May god bless you, your family and all of your loved ones!
Thank you
As some other commenters have said, great faith can be rewarded in great ways. You are unashamed of your walk with the Lord, and He is blessing you for that. I smiled a knowing grin when you said you built your work bench to match the height of a Saw Stop, hoping to get the saw soon. It's awesome to see God's people doing His work. You are a blessing and an inspiration to many, most likely to a much greater degree than you realize.
Another awesome video. I had the exact same Delta and stepped up to the exact same Sawstop with the exception that I got the Sawstop out feed attachment. I also gave my Delta away to someone who needed it.
I have the same opinions as you about where Sawstop chose to cut corners to I assume save money. Anyway, keep up the great videos!
I had a very good friend buy me an A/C unit because I have cancer and the chemo is wreaking havoc with my body. We don't usually have extreme heat in the PNW but we have this summer and it was killing me. So my friend stepped and I am so grateful to him. Some how I will pay him back for his kindness. We may be meeting next month and I have not actually seen him since we were kids. (I think about 1976). As far as saws I would love to own a Saw Stop some day. For now I am happy with my Delta. Still learning a beginner but making cutting boards. PS I enjoy your channel.
Congratulations on the new saw!
Congrats and thanks for the vid. I’m in the market for one now even though it is really out of the budget as well. Right about 12 min into the vid hit very close to home. I happen to have the Delta T2 and about 3 1/2 weeks ago exactly what you said you don’t want to happen happened. I got lucky and didn’t lose any fingers. Given the dado stack I had on it’s surprising I didn’t lose my hand. I’m recovering and I’m lucky enough to have a military retirement check to offset the much smaller short term disability check while I’m not able to work at my job.
So anyone considering the Sawstop, do it now if you can find it in the budget. Don’t be like me wishing you had one before the accident happened. Like he said it only takes a split second of carelessness, distraction etc. and it’s life changing. Thanks again.
I have been woodworking for 35 years and i agree on the cheap road on the extension plate legs and miter gauge. Fantastic saw otherwise. Wish i had one. Started out many years ago with a craftsman tabletop. Now i have a cast iron with cast extension plates and a workable lift for mobility. It does not leave my shop. I have a portable table saw for that with a foldable rack with very long extension arms.
Great review! I really enjoy your channel. I also wanted one for years and came across one for $1500. Exact same saw! It was a blessing. When I came to pick it up I discovered that the man that owned it had passed away and he never got a chance to use it. He bought it because he cut his hand. I’m currently working out a similar size shop. I purchased the SS cast iron router table wing for the saw. It will take the place of that wood/melamine wing you’re not a fan of. Thought I’d suggest that since you are getting tight on space. Take care sir.
Thank you
ive set off the brake three times now. im happy with my decision to get a sawstop.
Love it! Once the shop is up I want to try and follow in your footsteps and get a CNC to work while I'm working with the aim of earning the money for a SawStop. One day!
👊
Congrats, Matt. That is a fantastic saw. I had mine for fifteen years in a professional furniture shop. It is a work horse and a very well built machine. Something rarely mentioned is the service Sawstop offers. FAR better than anything under the Powermatic umbrella, Laguna, Grizz or others. It is expensive, but comparable to aan Oliver or a Powermatic, and the build quality and service are FAR better. Outside of a Northfield, there really isn’t a better cabinet saw, so the price is certainly reasonable. 3h- is plenty (though my new saw is 9 and I LOVE that extra power, though it’s pushing a 16’ blade, not 10’). I don’t know how many kitchens and furniture I built with that same saw you got. That extension wing, like most others are wood because that far out, the materiel is not a big deal. Replace those legs with a cabinet to store your table saw gods. In fifteen years I never once used the mitre gauge. I don’t even know why they are included. Make a sled and get an Incra for precise mitres. Or spend the money and get the sliding extension. Put a quality blades on there; Ridge Carbide, Forrest, or FS. Have a rip, crosscut, and combo, and be diligent about changing them out . Oh, and keep an extra brake handy for both standard and dato. Rad saw! Enjoy.
I was getting ready to buy a table saw…and when I seen this TH-cam video. I said to myself, “ That’s the One”. I’m very”HUGE” fan of safety.
You have the heart of the machine that’s what’s important. I’d pay double for that.
Awesome
This is pretty much the exact same saw I've been drooling over for a long while now. And, the problem for me isn't the price...I actually could afford it. The problem is SPACE! My two car garage is SO full of stuff, I just don't have the room for it. This is why, for now, I just use a ShopSmith. All those different tools in about 2/3 the space of that SawStop. But...ONE day...I will have one of these!
I am sure that you got this saw thru the generosity of another that God touched because there are great things He wants you to do with it. And you will! Bless you and yours.
I honestly got into woodworking last year because of your channel, your message and your love of sharing your knowledge. My first table saw I just bought is the Skil you reviewed... it ain't perfect, but price wise and options, it does good. I am a little scared when using because it's like you said, gotta respect the machine. But one day, I really hope I can upgrade to a sawstop Jobsite Pro Table Saw... since I don't have a lot of space, that would be awesome. Putting it in the hands of the Lord. If he sees' fit that I can one day afford one, then it will happen.
Congratulations Matt💯🎯
