At this level( cabinet saws ), there isn't really much of a price differential between the SawStop and other table saws. Th extra safety feature becomes a no-brainer. Sure, you can still get kick back, but that is partly mitigated by the riving knife and with care, you should be able to avoid trapping wood such that it gets kicked. The packaging was great. The hardware and parts are so well marked, the manual so well written, you can't mess it up. It was also ready to go once everything was installed. The blade was dead plumb, the wings fit perfectly, and the fence gauge only needed the tiniest adjustment. I've never owned a full-on professional tool like this and everything was simple to understand, all parts were there, labeled and described as well as can be and the main parts ( the alignment, trunnions, and all ) were all perfect right from the factory. Usage has been fantastic. With the 3HP motor, even with the factory issued blade, it cuts the hard maple I am mostly using like wet newspaper. I can barely feel resistance against the blade. :-) Cuts are square and accurate and my girlfriend is not afraid to use it. I am not a professional and I am not a long-time woodworker either, so take my opinion as you will. I got into it three years ago and happened to make a little unexpected money and decided to get myself a nice birthday present. If you have the money and are looking at saws in this range, this is the saw to get. It cuts everything I've thrown at it so far, cherry, oak, maple, and a little bloodwood with ease and accuracy. It took me less than two hours to assemble from pallet to first cut and the added peace of mind that if I do screw up some time and get my fingers in the way, I'll still have them all for the next review I type. *** update 1/5/2014 So, after 9 months of owning this saw I don't regret my purchase. It's an excellent tool. I do have one issue though and it has to do with the safety feature. Yup, I finally tripped the safety and blew a brake. I did not actually come in direct contact with the blade, but tripped it by conducting through a metal jig. It was my own fault because I had turned the safety off ( a handy feature the saw provides ), but each time you power the machine down it re-enables. A good thing lest you forget later. What happened here though, is I made a couple cuts, powered down, started it, disabled the brake, made a cut, powered down... third time I forgot and *boom*! Safety worked exactly as it is supposed to do. Sadly, I tripped it with a brand-new dado set. :-( Ok, so on to the interesting part. When the brake blew it pushed the aluminum block into the blade as designed to do, but it also hit with such force that it pushed the outer blade and the next two adjacent chippers at about a 20 degree angle away from the normal perpendicular position they have. The blades were properly tightened with the arbor flange in place, but it still knocked them off-kilter. This effectively trapped the blade between the arbor and the aluminum brake heel. I could not remove the blown brake and I could not budge the blades. I tried various means of cautious prying but I was afraid if I applied any more force I'd possibly damage something. It simply was not coming out. My next step was calling Sawstop technical support. They claimed that this has never happened, and I'm not saying they were wrong but in the time I examined the situation it seemed ot me that this could happen with a dado set or single blade brake due to the way the aluminum heel is constructed. I'm no mechanical engineer but it appears it wants to favor the side that my blown brake exploded to trapped the blades. They suggested I apply more force to pry it loose, so I tried. I applied steady pressure in three different places and began pushing the saw itself. The saw weighs about 400lbs easily. Yeah, not going to work. Ultimately, they had no solution, but before it got to wrangling a tech to come out I suggested cutting the aluminum out with a sawzall in such a way as to relive the pressure. They assured me I could try and not void the warranty. BE forewarned, I didn't have to test that promise and I advise you proceed with GREAT care and caution before attempting what I did. Be very sure you are comfortable because you can damage the machine and more importantly, yourself! OK, here's the meat of this update. Use a metal blade and look at how the brake as several "bridges" that serve to absorb impact when the brake blows. Cut carefully around what you can reach. For me it was the largest one which was helpful. I cut a piece about an inch wide out and this released the pressure binding things up and I got the blades off and the brake out. I inspected the arbor closely as I feared the threads may have been damaged but they were OK. I checked everything else as well and observed no damage. Re-installed a new brake and I'm back in business. I hope my solution helps anyone else who gets a jammed brake!

So I saved and saved and for Christmas this year finally bought my sawstop! So irregardless of the last review my delivery went flawlessly. Amazon sent it via CEVA and it was factory pack to survive a war zone. The driver got it off his truck on a pallet with a palletjack and busted his butt to help me down the driveway and into the shop considering the snowy weather we had just gotten. Not a single thing was damaged! Assemble looked daunting but was not nearly as bad as I thought. It took two of us to lift it upright but after that I was able to completely unpack it and get it all assembled by myself in one day. All of the parts were precision made And bolted together easily without modification. The factory adjustments were almost perfect. I only had to adjust the brake cartrage to the blade, and the parallel fence to the the blade. Now from here on take into consideration that I've only had the saw for a bit, and have not done a serious project with it yet... The saw seems to be very accurate but I plan on adding a wixey digital scale to it. The saw could definitly use a outfeed table, but I don't believe the sawstop one will work with this fence. The power behind this saw is impressive to be sure, and it runs ultra smooth and quiet! I didn't recieve the mobile base at the same time as the saw and I hate that now it hast to be installed post assembly. Although possible it won't be easy. The factory blade was suprizingly good all things considered, and I think worth investing in their other blades, but I'm told their system is compatibable with Forest blades. Overall I couldn't be happier with the purchase, and with the expert delivery! I would definitly recommend this to anyone! **UPDATE** 2/19/14 So I've had the new SawStop in use for almost two months now. I bought the rockler tablesaw miter sled for it, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the accuracy of the saw. Cuts are stright and precise... Infact I find myself useing it over my compound mitersaw for crosscuts. I contacted SawStop and their outfeed table was compatible with this fence. I ordered it and do like it, but plan on redesigning it to be a flip down outfeed table that will attach to the back of the sawstop. That can't be done with their legs so I'm going to use a couple of drop leaf braces. The mobile base assemble was a two person job if your doing it after you have stood the sawstop upright. It went well but I had one bolt that the hex head tried it's best to strip. The wixey saw fence digital readout is an awsome acessory for this sawstop and installed with no drilling of the saw's rails or fence at all. Infact the only modification I had to make at all was to notch the wixey bracket that attaches to the fence, other that that I used all the SawStop bolts and the gauge works perfectly. I actually haven't had to change blades yet, and am still impressed by it's quality. I bought two more SawStop brand blades, and a forrest box jointing blade set because it's typically more precise than a stacked dado. Very happy though with the purchase and enjoying useing it to work in the shop!

How much are your fingers worth? That's what my buddy told me when I ask the price of his new Sawstop. I did the research and Sawstops are priced the same as the other high quality saws. I admit, I once accidentally stuck my hand in a table saw (not Sawstop). 7 stiches and a larger ER bill. Just takes a second of not being in the moment. I love my Sawstop, worth the price. Cuts like a dream, great dust collection, good accessories, and high quality. Best instructions I've seen. CONS: Wet wood can set off blade (use bypass). If set off, it needs a new cartridge ($60) and blade ($60+). Needs separate cartridge for Dado blade. Over all great saw. Feel better woodworking with my kids and wife with the safety feature. It's worth the piece of mind. Update Jan 2017, Just over a year of use: Was cutting through some walnut and the safety system went off and dropped the blade and stopped it. Not wet, no fingers, not sure why it tripped. Called Sawstop and they had great customer service. Sent the cartrige to Sawstop to be tested. They lost it. Not so happy. But, they sent me a new cartrige for free. So out a blade. The blade was not badly damaged, only lost 3 carbide teeth. I figure I can get 3 new teeth put on when I send out my blades to be sharpened, a $1 per tooth. Still love the saw, working great. Always wonder if I cut through metal on accident if it will set off the safety system. Got a small metal detector to check all the wood for screws and nails. Cut through a metal staple the other day and it did not trip the safety system. So thats good to know. Don't know if I just got lucky. Glad I purchased the saw, will keep it for the rest of my life.
