New Sawstop is in the house.

[Cliff Holmes]

A one-hour drive each way in a hideous downpour, this thing better be worth it :eek:

A shot of my old faithful Grizzly 1023SL, already stripped of its Incra fence, eyeing the interloper ...

[Scott Hildenbrand]

Can I have your old saw? ;) :D

[Brian Kent]

Nice box, Cliff, but it is apparent from your dust-free shop that you don't actually cut wood in there :rolleyes:.

Isn't that the truth ;) I wish my shop looked like that. Is that a tool display building? Or a workshop?

[Cary Falk]

Has the Grizzly ever been used?:eek::D

[guy knight]

looks like a tool collector and not a user with that clean of shop you will love the ss great saws great fit and finish well built and safe

[Scott Hildenbrand]

Now now... If you squint, you can see dust on the jointer... Right there.. By the fence.. To the right... See it?

Well.. Squint harder... ;)

[Cliff Holmes]

Actually, when I got the SS home I spent three hours cleaning up so I'd have a nice area to assemble it, plus another hour or so getting the Grizzly ready to sell. Here's a more typical view ...

[Don Bullock]

Congratulations Cliff. Once you get the SS set up the trip in the rain will have been worth it. Enjoy.

OK, you're a real woodworker. Just wanted to make sue your new tool would be used!

[Kyle Iwamoto]

Congrats! Yes that trip in the rain will be a funny story as soon as you start that saw the first time.....

Going to use the INCRA on the SS?

Cliff:

Congratulations on the saw. Why did you go with a PCS rather than an ICS? I am in the midst of making this decision and was wondering if you could share your thought process. Thanks

[mreza Salav]

Congrat's Cliff.
I am sure you enjoy assembling it and making dust with it ;)

LOL!! "Eyeing the interloper"!! The shot is framed perfectly for that, love it. Enjoy the new saw, and try not to bust any knuckles assembling it.

Actually,my own shop is so cluttered that I have refrained from putting pics up here. ESPECIALLY the workbench which I made of very heavy 4" beech,with 4"X6" legs,and would like to show.

[john snowdon]

Enjoy your new saw! Assembling it will be a joy. Everything is beautifully labeled and the directions are the best.

[Cliff Holmes]

Why did you go with a PCS rather than an ICS?

Since my dealer sells so few ICSs, they don't stock them. So I would have had to pay $600 shipping from SS to the dealer. I had someone who would take the SS fence for $350. So between the cash for the fence I didn't need and the shipping I avoided, the ICS would have been $1200 more and I just didn't feel like the ICS's larger table was worth that much. I don't feel the ICS's extra "toughness" would ever come into play for me, so I "settled" for the PCS. If it hadn't been for the shipping, I may well have gone for the ICS instead.

[Cliff Holmes]

Going to use the INCRA on the SS?

Oh yes. I *love* the Incra fence system.

[Josh Reet]

Are the sawstop prices "fixed" like Kreg or Apple products? Or are the online prices that I am seeing significantly less than what a dealer will charge (ignoring any shipping).

FWIW, I would be looking at the 36in contractors saw if I got one any time in the near future.

[Josh Reet]

Nevermind!

The info in this thread seems to answer my question:

Congratulations on the new saw. By the way, your second photo is still way cleaner than any shop I have been associated with. Do you have a "cleaning lady"?

[michael case]

I agree with John wait till you see the directions. Tell ya one thing you won't need a Chinese interpreter.
