Does anyone here have a SawStop Table Saw?

Make sure your dick is wet when you try. I think it senses moisture. That whole system feels like magic to me.

It works via conductance (more accurately capacitance) so dry skin works too but you are gonna nick your dick whether it is wet or not.

The funniest test I have seen in person is Roy Underhill at Highland Woodworking in Atlanta* Roy uses fried chicken instead of a hotdog.


* Highland is a must visit store especially if you are into handtool work. They don't have many machines on the floor but they have tons of handtools including all the Lie Nielson planes out to play with. If one ever goes to IWF Highland is just a few miles from the World Congress Center that hosts IWF.

ETA PMC is for machines what Highland is to hand tools. PMC has more machines on the floor than any dealer I have ever been to, it is mainly HK/Chinese stuff but outside going to IWF or AWFS you won't see much Euro stuff in person.

I also have an old 2 blade planer without blower, it fckking does a great job, but dust/shaving collection is garbage.

This is a pure hobby, would you recommend one of the 13" 3 blade dewalts? I read and hear great things about those, have for years.

I sold a Jet cabinet saw and bought a portable SS a couple years ago and I love it.

Once my new shop is completed, I will be getting the larger SS cabinet saw.


The flesh sensing tech was a bit reason I bought one but the quality and thought in their saws are top notch in my opinion.

I have extensive use on Jet, Powermatic and SS cabinet saws and I liked the SS above the other 2.

I have used a Hammer slider quite a bit and that would be the only option I would pick above a SS.

There would be a few more fingers in my family if they had invested in these. Pretty neat system.

100% The Dewalt DW735 is the best planer for the money. There's a reason it "wins" every planer comparison done by every woodwork magazine.

You can add a Shelix head to it if you want, but it doesn't need it. Couple it with a decent 6" jointer, and you can do about anything you want. You can now easily purchase carbide blades for it, and I do recommend them. The replacement blades for it made by Dewalt are nowhere near the same quality as what comes on the planer when it is new.

I've had a DW735 for a decade or more and it is still rolling no problem. Hell, all you need for chip collection with it is a Harbor Freight collector. Of course, it isn't high quality, but it will work.

You have to replace the blade and some other parts that get destroyed when the safety mechanism is activated.

2 hundy just for that........but better than a lost finger

And figure out what you NEED versus what you WANT. I've gotten some pretty good deals from guys who thought they needed 20k worth of tools when they didn't. You can waste money in a hurry when it comes to woodworking tools.

I used one while at LSU very regularly. They work

Eta: make sure your glue and wood is as dry as possible.
