I don't know if any one has seen this yet. I just saw it tonight on YouTube. SawStop has a new sliding table for their table saw.
Hope this works-----Bob

When I first heard of this a couple months ago, I called them and they only had the marketing information and could not even nail down final cost. I'm interested, but after seeing a true slider where the table is right against the blade, I wonder. Interesting though. I'll probably bite just to see.
It looks very nice...not sure if it is a grand nice but very nice.
4 Years ago I installed the Grizzly version. From what I can see there is a fair bit of similarity between the two although the SawStop fence looks far more superior to the Grizzly unit.

I have the Sliding table from Grizzly and bought it at Grizzly in Springfield Mo. for something like $570 with store discount. As I posted when I got the sliding table it is absolutely perfect but the fence leaves a lot to be desired. I am thinking about a Incra telescoping flip fence 27"to 49" and Incra's flip stop.
Still even with the not so good fence it is still a bargain compared to some others.

It looks like a glorified miter gauge to me.
I have the Jessem sliding table on my SawStop and love it.
Anybody know when it will be available? I hear it's $999.
Looking at the video, one thing that might be a problem is that it might get in the way of other use of the saw. It doesn't look like it can be easily removed when you want it out of the way.
Also, it mounts where the wing would go. And I've already built my outfeed table so that would have to be modified. Just too many questions at this point, especially for $1K.

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.
September/October according to the video.
Please help support the Creek.

It looks like the almost the exact same sliding table as the Grizzly / King / etc.
Guess they didn't labor over it that hard...

$999??? You gotta be kidding.....
That company is still in dream land

Doesn't look at all like the grizzly one to me. Certainly a similar idea, but the designs are significantly different (as are the prices).
Only seems worthwhile if you do a ton of a crosscutting on the tablesaw.
Myk you're so right
Thanks John
