First off, I want to say that I don't want this thread to turn into a bash of Sawstop.
I am writing for your advice...
I have taken time off from my woodworking because of several family issues and now I am thankfully forced back full stream as we are expecting a second baby in the spring...Time for a new crib and other furniture that we need to populate our house.
Next week, I am going to have the ability to buy a few new tools that will be tools that I will use for a long time down the road.
I am going to buy a sawstop for sure. I know that I will be spending lots of hours in the shop down the line with my son and it will give both my wife and I great piece of mind. That is something that priceless in my opinion.
Now for my sawstop question...If you had the ability, would you lean toward a PCS or ICS for non-production woodworking? Is there a good reason to step up to the ICS? I already have a 1 3/4 hp saw and do want the 3 hp for cutting the tough stuff. I just don't think I will need the ICS over the PCS...I am looking for sharing of ideas btwn the two.
Thanks for any insight,
Grub
