I have the 3hp PCS model going on 3 years. I love it, I've engaged the bypass many times with no problems, I have the 4" overhead dust collection that works pretty good as long as you don't split one 4" line into two for the saw/overhead dust collection. You would get better results on your smaller overhead dust collection with your shop vac due to increased velocity. You don't need a special dado set as long as it's 8" and I believe no wider than 7/8". If you go wider, the outer blade might not contact the cartridge during activation and it will keep spinning. I'm hoping to get the sliding portion sometime next year. The fit and finish is outstanding with no vibrations while running it. One of my favorite purchases I've made.

@@jd1399 I've cut 2 inch walnut, sapele, oak, and other hard woods and I've never come close to bogging it down. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten away with the 1.75 HP model using quality blades but the price difference wasn't that big in my opinion. I know how to do electrical work, so putting in the 240v line wasn't costly for me. I've read a lot of reviews from people with the 1.75 and they have no regrets on their purchase. Have fun with whatever you choose, it's a great saw.

Very good in-depth review. My how time flies. I can't believe you've had this fopr more than 3 years! From my observations, I found that the best thing about the SawStop was stability and balance. Never any vibration. I too never heard of any specific brand of dado stack that was needed. Just be sure to calibrate the cartridge to the stack. The only thing I would add is it is nice to get extra throat places so you can make zero clearance inserts. Thanks for a great video

Hi Darbin nice video! I would like to add that the quality of the cut the 3hp SawStop makes, it is surgical precision. The saw had to made like a tank to withstand shock when the safety feature activates, that resulted in almost no vibration while the saw is running because the trunnions (motor mounts) and the gears are rock solid. I've had mine for 2 years now and it's worth every penny.

Linn - I had the same issues with dust collection and found a great solution. Use a cheap shop vac (I use a $35 harbor freight 3hp vac - very compact). Attach that to the overarm dust collector and then connect the exhaust from that vac using a wye fitting into the dust collector hose. You need high fpm to suck up the dust from that small hose. You don’t even need a filter though for the shop vac since it’s connecting into your dust collector - it uses that filter. Shop vacs do high fpm but low cfm while dust collectors do the reverse. That’s why dust collectors just don’t really work with small hose.

I have a similar setup but use a Festool vacuum CT-36 on the blade guard unit, as I agree a regular shop central vac (mine is 5hp Clear-Vue cyclone) does not extract well on the blade guard unit. Another comment on a 10” blade once it is embedded in a brake unit, I heard very recently that often the blade can be sent to a sharpening service, they may have to replace a tooth or so, but often the blade is not wasted after all 😅

This is a great, thorough, and honest review. I'm hoping to be in the market in the next few years and this is very helpful. Thank you! One thought on the overhead. My understanding is that large dust collectors don't have the power (suction) to do much good in a small diameter hose. My little shop vac pulls way more in a small tube than my 3HP dust collector does. When I get my new setup, I plan to have a dedicated shop vac for overhead.

The overhead dust hose you have is for high pressure vacuums like a shop vac or dust extractor. If you want to use your dust collector you need the 4” floating over arm dust collector. A dust collector like the ones you have really lose any suction power when you connect to a hose that small.

Regarding the table's "flatness" - you are measuring the flatness of the table in relation to the dial indicator's base, which is only a few inches away. I'm not saying the table isn't nice and flat, merely that the way you are measuring it can't prove the overall flatness.

I notice that you mounted your sliding cross cut table to the left hand wing, giving you capability to cut very wide panel. Most configurations I see (like at WoodCraft or Rockler) remove the wing and mount to the saw table directly-I am considering mounting my sliding table this way. Do you think I will regret it? I don’t imagine using the table saw to cut panels so wide. If I ever need to, I think I would use my Festool track saw.

Suggestion: why don't you get a small dust collector (1hp) that fits under the saw and make it inclusive to it. Sawstop needs 400cfm, those small dust collectors are 600 and up. This way you will get rid of that long hose on your floor and get better suction.

I use a Metabo jobsite table saw with the folding stand, and had my first accident. I was using my dado stack and like an idiot was pushing a 2x6 sideways into yhe blade to create an arch through the width of the board, and was holding the board with my hands. The blades grabbed the board and shot it downstream and drug my left hand into trhe blade. Since i had the blade 1/4" high, it only mangled the ends of two fingers. Now i understand the value better of a saw stop. Alas, i dont have the room nor the funds to get one. But also i dont build things for a living- only hobbies.
