That is a great looking saw! Did it come with that mobile base?
Also, can the table extension be detached or folded down to be able to store the saw out of the way? I work out of my garage now, so the big tools have to hang out on the sidelines until it's their turn to play...

I chose the saw stop primarily for the safety feature.
I can understand that. That was my primary reason for looking at them too.

Thanks. The base didn’t, it’s a shop fox brand universal mobile base. I really like it so far. And no, the wings are fixed and can’t fold down. Sawstop does make two smaller versions of this saw though.

I don't know if they've changed the system, but before the safety system was a seperate switch so you could chose to deactivate it if needed. It also meant it could be active even if the saw want running. Which further meant that an errant touch with a finger or touching the blade with a metal measuring tool could send that nice new Forrest WWII to the scrap pile...

That's a quality saw. I only buy Dewalt tools too.

I only got the saw Sunday and haven’t spent any time on it but I do know they still have a bypass for cutting wet wood or things like aluminum. And I’m pretty sure the brake won’t activate unless the blade is spinning.

Man, those inlays are great!

Thank you! I took up the hobby about 8 months ago or so and have found something to keep me busy. I really enjoy doing them. Still got a lot to learn though. I’ve messed with wood and power tools for over 20 yrs but had never used a router till a year ago. Now i have three lol.

On a friend's neighbor's SawStop saw, that assumption was disproved...

Woodworking/welding project for my parents, this old gate was in sad shape and dragging on the bricks, time for it to go.
This was after I started pulling the pickets to look at the framing and get measurements. Half the hinge screws weren't even in the frame.
New frame made from 1.5" A500 square tubing with 3/4" cedar strips ripped for the new pickets to screw to. Attached the strips with Teks screws and construction adhesive.
Where I've stopped today. Still need to finish the other side and replace/refinish the hardware as well as make a copper cap for the top.

These are just a handful of my past couple of weeks work. I’m a rustic/steampunk kind of woodworker. I’ll post a few more of my larger pieces soon.

From what I understand, the spinning blade's momentum is what slams the blade down into the table, and also what damages the blade. If the brake was activated somehow I don't think it would have damaged the blade.

Yea I’m definitely going to sit down and read the manual today. I often use a ruler or tape measure to set the distance of the fence and also use my hands to set the blade height. It will be a pain in the arse to put it in bypass every time. And some point I will definitely forget to.

That little charge the cartridge uses is strong enough to chip carbide teeth when it send that aluminum wedge forward.
