I am thinking about upgrading from my faithful BT3K. It has been a faithful and reliable friend, but well, its getting long in the tooth, and I am getting tired of a crosscut sled that wobbles ever so slightly, and a rip fence that I have to carefully check that it is fully clamped at the back. . .
So, I am thinking if I am upgrading I might as well do it right, however, my shop is tiny (about 16X24) so I think a cabinet saw is too much. Therefore I am thinking about getting one of the new SawStop contractor saws. They seem very solid, and given that I typically work alone, and live alone the added safety of the SawStop is not without merit. The problem is it is darn expensive. Does anybody have any experiences or thoughts on this machine?
