I just got a good look at the Saw Stop contractor's saw. The local dealer has one on the floor. Man, that's a nice saw. Saw Stop applied the same approach to the contractor's saw they applied to the cabinet saw: heavy and very well built. It has cast tables - not pressed steel, and a heavy extension wing. The base is heavy and solid. The fence is very nice and works smoothly - like on the big Saw Stop. All in all, a very nice saw. It should be, it retails for $2,100. I've been trying to make up my mind to trade my Unisaw in for 3 hp cabinet Saw Stop. I really like my fingers and I figure a Saw Stop is probabaly the best insurance I can get for them, but it's a lot of money, even with selling my Uni.
