new Sawstop

[tony brown]

I just purchased a new Sawstop 3HP cabinet saw at the woodworking show. It will be delivered this week and I'm trying to get my shop ready for it.

One thing I cannot find online is a measurement on the placement of the rear dust port. I have an outfeed table for my current saw that I want to reuse and it has a lower shelf. With my current saw, the shelf is located below the dust port so that I can connect the hose. However, I have a feeling the shelf will interfere with Sawstop dust port.

Can anyone with the Sawstop cabinet saw tell me the distance from the top of the dust port to the floor? I have time now to reposition the lower shelf before the saw gets here.

Thanks!

If I understand you correctly you want to know the height of the upper (top) of the dust port so that you can establish the lower end of your lower shelf, is that correct? Be sure to factor in the ability to get to clamps and such. I don't have your model but will be at Rockler today and will gladly measure the floor model for you if that is what you mean.

You got to meet the representative who tells tall tales. Last year at the Woodworking Shows he told a group of visitors that he personally knew three woodworkers who cut their fingers off and then slammed their foreheads into the spinning blades. My friend and I asked the names of the woodworkers who committed seppuku in this manner but he indicated it was "confidential." Amazing thing is that people believed him.

Rich,

You are correct. I can move the shelf up or down, I just need to know the measurement from the floor to the top of the dust port.

Thanks

On my PCS, this distance is 10 7/16 to the top, outside of the dust port.

ICS or PCS? Are you getting a mobile base?

PCS and no mobile base

It measured almost exactly eleven inches from the floor to the top of the dust extraction port on the rear of the saw. With the slight variation, I would be safe with the height of the shelf.
