Hi, I'm relatively new the the "creek" and love it so far. any way i am a high school senior just getting ready to graduate. (gosh i feel young here) any way i decided to kick the habit and save the extra money to go to my even worse "tool addiction" i decided to go with the sawstop contractor with the cast iron wings, 36" t glide fence and the mobile base.
i went with sawstop since my father who has only 4 fingers on his left hand. there are no bones in the fingers its all nuts, bolts and screws; they also grow hair on them since the skin on his fingers was taken from his thigh. he cut them all off about 20 years ago and medical bills totaled around $125,000. By the way that is after insurance
Any way, it is definantly a lot more saw than my fathers DeWalt benchtop saw i was using. i have only used it a few times since i bought it and let me say its a joy using. I am very happy i spent my money on something usefull and not on something that went in smoke.
