Looking for best table saw setup I can get for less than $7000. I was about to pull the trigger on a SawStop ICS. Loaded with the 5HP motor, 52" fence, mobile base, overarm dust collection, and sliding table it totals $6246 on Amazon Prime (free shipping).
Then I saw a friends Hammer K3 Winner. The largest slider (79x48), mobility kit, and eccentric clamp would total $5814, but with shipping it would likely be at parity with the SawStop.
I like the idea of the SawStop safety feature, but the sliders are inherently safer than a traditional saw, and I want the best functionality as well. Looking for feedback from any of you; especially if you've used both.
