Im curious about your comment that the 1.75 motor on the Sawstop CNS was bogging down in construction lumber. May I ask what type of blade you were using and what amperage of circuit you were plugged into?
@workshop_edits4 ай бұрын
Double pole 20 amp breaker with two hots from 12 gauge wire. This was with either a factory Sawstop ripping blade or a simple Diablo lower tooth ripping blade. I think the true reason is construction lumber is not straight at all, and the warped nature of it can make it very tough to push through a table saw regardless. You can always feel minor pinches. I feel it far less with 3HP, but if you don’t have straight wood or edges you’ll always have some resistance. Hope that helps
@kibble_eater4 ай бұрын
@@workshop_edits Interesting, while I cant comment on the quality of Sawstop’s blades, I do know that diablo blades are fairly decent in terms of table saw blades. Did you ever put a higher quality blade on there, such as a Forrest or a Ridge Carbide? And yes construction lumber is totally not straight and should either be jointed with a jointing sled or jointer before running it up against the fence if you are looking for clean cuts and less chance of kickback.

Excellent video. I appreciate you going through all the features of the version you purchased. After the fence slipped on my cheap table saw, I decided to upgrade, and one might say I splurged on a SawStop, since the majority of my woodworking up to that point could have been done on a router and miter saw. However, I saw it as at least a 10-20 year investment, so that made my SawStop like an extra $50-100 a year insurance policy. Since my kids are in High School and above, it also gives me piece of mind when they want to do a project that includes doing something on the table saw. I got the contractor model, and I've been very happy with it so far. Just like you, one of my favorite features was the addition of the T-Glide fence. It's magical compared to fences on other saws! I actually did a readjustment on it the other week, and it was SO EASY! One thing I'd suggest is looking at the JessEm Clear-cut TS stock guides. Essentially rolling featherboards with a one way feed to prevent kickback. Like the T-Glide fence they're a bit pricey, but they hold the piece down, and direct it towards the fence (though not perfectly). At least for me, they allow me to reduce the things I'm thinking about during a cut, and I'd be curious on your opinion. The one thing I did find in my research is that you shouldn't leave them in your shop if it gets too hot, as that can break down the material on the wheels.
@workshop_edits4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your input. When I bought my first SawStop and when I was looking to upgrade, I 100% saw it as an insurance policy for myself and a 20+ year tool so all of the extras were a well-worth investment. SawStop did help me by supporting the channel and making the cost of this saw much more feasible for me, but as stated in the video, I bought my Contractor version 100% on my own dime so overall it was just a huge safety and quality of life upgrade. I have a MagSwitch featherboard that I don't show in this video but have in my most recent ones that I really like, and I'm grateful to now have it as it suddenly makes it feel even safer, and it fits perfectly on the big T-Glide fence. Thanks again for watching and sharing your experience!

I switched from a cabinet saw to a European style Shop Fox Sliding Table Saw a few years ago. The sliding saws seem as safe to me as you can get, including you are never in the way of wood for kickback when ripping, it's almost impossible to get your hand to the blade, and it's much simpler and safer for making long crosscuts (mine will hold a full 4x8 sheet of plywood).
@workshop_edits3 жыл бұрын
Totally - I just don't have the shop space for a saw that big - if I ever do get a bigger space I'd add teh sliding fence for SawStop to mine. Since I rarely and doing anything that big, I'll take the blade tech over the sliding feature any day - but to each their own!

@workshop_edits3 жыл бұрын
You can definitely get the upgraded fence system for the contractor version. I almost did. It would have required me to upgrade the rail system, the fence, and get the 36" melamine block to extend my capacity. At the same time, I was considering upgrading to cast iron wings too. I think it was around $800 all in to upgrade. If you just placed the order, I would call them to modify it - you'll have to make the same upgrades unless you already got the 36" contractors version, then you can skip the melamine extension part, and the cast iron wings are just ab onus. That would be my reco if you're looking for something similar. Since you haven't gotten the saw, I'm sure they can just modify the order so you are paying for the upgraded price, and not something entirely new - if that makes sense.

Nice - yea I think making the fence upgrades its a big start to feeling like you have a more professional set up. I truly didn't know about the differences when I got mine so there wasn't an obvious difference to the 30" v. 36" T Glide. I did think about trying to make a catch-all box type thing at first but opted out knowing I was looking to upgrade. I haven't looked into the overarm port yet either as I only have a Rocker Dust Collection set up that has 4" ports so unless so upgrade to a 6" system the two 4" ports won't have enough proper suction. Having that 360° set up you have probably makes a great difference too. Thanks for watching and your input!

@@workshop_edits True just one 4" port will not work as well. I got the laguna pflux 1.5hp which can do two 4" ports. So if/when i get around to doing the overarm piece it should work. So far the dust underneath and above the table are not too crazy for what I have made, so I haven't dealt with it yet. it is still on the list though. I figured out the fence difference by going and seeing it in the one local store, also the rockler support person I talked to mentioned that the 36" is better due to the fence, and resale value, ie no one would want the 30" fence, but if I ever upgrade to the 54", someone would want the 36" fence.

Why the 36 why not the 52?
@workshop_edits4 жыл бұрын
52 is too big for my shop space
@dmdm91984 жыл бұрын
@@workshop_edits if you had the space then you would get the 52? I saw it in person and can’t justify the size. Iam a beginner wood worker, would I regret not getting the 52 and just go with a 36 if Iam just a hobbyist? Also would having the router table on the left or right side of the saw matter when it comes cutting and space for cutting big pieces of wood?
@workshop_edits4 жыл бұрын
I doubt it. I’ve never needed to rip something that large. It’s easier to break bigger goods down with just a circular saw. I personally don’t care for the router attachment but it wouldn’t be in the way - you’d just have to remove the router fence each time you were going to that capacity.

Why didn’t you install and use the blade guard? That’s a critical safety component regardless of the blade brake technology. In fact Saw Stop makes it clear that all through-cuts need to be made with the blade guard in place and that users should not rely solely on the blade guard technology.
@workshop_edits3 жыл бұрын
The blade guard is incredibly clunky and hindering. SawStop can say what they want, but no one I’ve ever seen uses it and it has nothing to do with the safety system. In fact, for me, it’s so clunky and in the way it makes things more dangerous as you lose visibility and precision with your own hands and push stick. Seems like a very unnecessary critique btw.

@@workshop_edits You made an excellent video describing your injury and reasons for investing in a SawStop. So it seems odd that you would bypass the blade guard. Blade guards are effective in preventing contact with the blade and it sounds like that was the cause of your injury. I agree with you that most KZbinrs don’t use blade guards, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I totally disagree with your comment that blade guards reduce precision. The SawStop is a high precision instrument. There is no need to see the blade if you properly set the fence and blade. It will cut with precision wether or not you can see the blade. Don’t put too much faith in the blade brake technology. Yes it is a great tool but it’s meant as a last resort. The blade brake is only designed to prevent lacerations of more than 4mm deep because that is the point at which people suffer significant nerve and vascular damage. Finger tip lacerations less than 4mm deep can still result in very significant injuries. Be safe with you tools and keep up the good woodworking.

Deep down the rabbit hole of safety in woodworking? See any safety glasses in that rabbit hole?
@workshop_edits4 жыл бұрын
I wear ear protection 100% of the time - I wear it so much that even when I'm not using power tools I end up with it on. Safety glasses are a 90% of the time thing - 100% of the time when I'm using my saws, router, nail guns, etc, and I tend to take them off for non power tool work or drilling/driving. Then a mask for any sanding needs or general dusty times. Cheers

I wonder why they don’t make Mitre Saws ?
@workshop_edits4 жыл бұрын
Not sure. That seems like a much more difficult safety system to design when you’re the one moving the blade though.
@zilitron2k4 жыл бұрын
Not sure either, but seems like mitre saws are much, much safer than a table saw. The saw pushes the wood down and into the fence; not towards the user. Second, there is nowhere for the blade to drop.

Why saw stop? It's for people who feel they cannot keep their hands away from the blade. I have actively used table saws for the last seventy years, and still do, and I have never experinced a single kick back nor got my hands close to be injured. There were neither saw guards nor riving knives for a long, long time. Men, particularly young ones, sustained horrific injuries on the jointer, planer, machines with two blades mounted in square axles. Plaining short timbers was very dangerous. Like the planer the spindle was particulatly dangerous.These were factory size machines. The so called saw stop might lull one into excessive sense of safety.

Sawstop is too expensive for the poor build compared to superior machines. The safety feature is obsolete if you know how to use table saws. 100% of the accidents are because people a) don´t pay attention and/or b) don´t know how to use a table saw. It´s just that almost everyone knows and thinks he knows how to use one. If you have the same budget, buy a superior sliding table saw and have better quality.
