The Feb. 2010 Woodworker's Journal has a cabinet saw review in which is written about the SawStop Professional "Looking inside, the trunnion assembly is a combination of cast-iron and steel parts. It's lighter in heft than other saw trunnions, but the saw ran as smoothly as heavier-trunnion saws."
Tradional wisdom demands a beefy trunnion. Perhaps this is the advent of higher tech construction, similar to the replacement of cast iron frames in bandsaws. I'd be reluctant to buy one as an early adopter. No vendetta here- I have a Ridgid 3660 and don't do heavy work meriting a cabinet saw.
