I came here expecting to hear and see some of the main differences in how they operate. Only thing I really picked up new is where the trunnion is mounted.
You do have to spend some time setting the saw up... blade, fence, etc. But once done, the saw is great. Fairly compact which is Nice ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXh-4_3-ZT1fFWP91ZV7iVqzElr0lEb-a I did get an Incra Miter Gauge which takes some setup as well. The stock miter gauge can be adjusted in the miter slot with a little painter's tape... this tightens up the side to side play a lot.
There were not Saw Stop saws a hundred, or so, years ago yet where I lived all the wood machinists working with table saws (big heavy, cast iron, industrial contraptions) kept all their hands and fingers. Not so with the planers, whish were armed witth two bladed square axles, and cutt off whole men's fingers and hands. Men learned to take care of their hands with table saws, not so with the planers. Would not saw stops lull the operators into false sense of security. I have actively worked with diverse table saws for some seventy years, and still do, and I still have all my fingers. Cheers.

Had i known the contractors saw would be improved years later i might have waited to get mine. The back on this one is more enclosed and the rear trunnion looks more accessible than mine.
You are worth hearing for your personality if not for your excessive simplicity. Did you really start your work a hundred years ago? By comparison, by being only ninety three years old, I have some catching up to to. I am looking for a good table saw. Harvey 4 hp seems like a good start; but how do I get one in Australia? Bloke from Aus.
Save yourself some money and get a regular mobile base. The sawstop base only has 2 swivel casters and takes a lot of space to turn. Also the linkage makes it harder to enclose the base to improve the poor dust collection. The safety brake is great though.
A contractor saw will cover almost all of the needs of a hobbyist. The only thing it might fall short on is it might struggle when cutting thick, dense hardwood.

Will end up causing you a fortune if you use it with a generator. Get a lag in power and the brake engages. So for contractors working on sites without clean Electric it’s a no no
So why is it again you thought you needed TWO table saws? I can't figure out how you can use more than one at a time. Sort of like being single and having two 4 wheel drive pickup trucks in good working order.
You might have a dado on one all the time if you do a lot of that sort of work, or you might have a crosscut blade on one and a rip cut on another, or you might have a melamine blade on one and a hardwood one on another, or a non-ferrous metal cutting blade on one (.. I wouldn't on a sawstop personally..). If I had the space and already owned one saw and felt the need to buy another, I may not be inclined to lose the options and take the loss over the initial purchase price from selling it. But it's a good question.
Ken, you’ve obviously never done any even medium scale production work. No shame in that, it’s a tough profession. I’ve had times where three saws would have saved 10-20 hours per week. It was not unusual to have half a dozen different routers pre set with bits and jigs. A one man shop doing single pieces and hobbies with no real deadlines allows fir a lot of setup time.
i guess im the oddball,,i just got the same saw,,,and i hate it,,,too heavy and the holes assembling it did not line up,,,the only reason i bought it was for the safety feature,,,,but other than that i had rather have my delta 36-725 that i bought at lowes and sold to buy this overpriced beast

If it helps, I have a breakdown on my page I put out a few months ago that breaks down why I upgraded from contractor to cabinet - hope that helps
I wantt o know the difference in sound output and db
Me too. This is just clickbait bull$heet. It’s a paid ad, I understand, but the title is crap.

BEAUTIFUL COMMERCIAL FOR SAW STOP !
Nice Saw Stop add.

Sawstop is QUITE expensive to replace the mechanism that saves fingers 😂
Had i known the contractors saw would be improved years later i might have waited to get mine. The back on this one is more enclosed and the rear trunnion looks more accessible than mine.
Great video agan thanks 👍

The industrial mobile base when fitted on the PCS is incredible. having had both, I definitely agree that the 2 swivel version is very meh
0:33 mind blown. Didn't know a table saw could do that, lol.
Thank you!
🙌
My SawStop contractor saw is portable in name only. This sucker is *heavy*
how is it on power?
where i live its a slightly more than 1/3 of the price of a pcs so I'm unsure if it will achieve everything i want to do with it
😂 being married DOES reduce the number of saws you can get/afford🤣
So for average Joe hobbyist where will the contractor saw fall short?

Well does the contractor saw last a lifetime like the professional does, you never mentioned that

Thanks, as I know absolutely nothing about table saws.

Where are they made?
Everything is made in china. But im sure they check for quality. Or else there would be massive lawsuits.
It’s ironic most cabinet shops no longer uses any table saws. They cut their panels with a cnc. And this is just a saw stop ad.

Well of course if your a contractor and need it on the job then you go with the contractor saw .
No. Today you'd get a job site saw. They didn't exist when contractor saws were named, but are much more portable.

I have had a jet contractor saw for the longest time and now I upgraded to a jet cabinet saw
That the reason u have 2 table saw cause not meried yet Lmao
