A bit of a preface to the question below. I have done a substantial amount of research trying to answer the question and while I know the specs of each SKU, I have yet to be able to come up with a solid figure for the various combinations of equipment when trying to figure out what will fit in the space I have. Any help would be appreciated. I called Incra today but was in between meetings and could not wait on hold and will try to call again tomorrow.
I have landed on a Sawstop PCS for my shop after planning on a Grizzly 0609 or 1023 for quite a while, the safety feature (and build quality) finally won me over. Along with the saw, I was planning on getting the TS-LS (possibly joinery, not sure I am sold on the table being to the right of the saw and Sawstop's new table can be installed on the left, adding to the overall length and working space requirements. Though I would not complain about being able to rip sheet goods, it is not a requirement, mostly furniture, large and small and can always rip sheets down to size with the track.
What I cannot find a clear answer to is the total size of the following combinations.
Sawstop PCS 36 w/TS-LS 32
Sawstop PCS 36 w/TS-LS 52
Sawstop PCS 52 w/TS-LS 32
Sawstop PCS 52 w/TS-LS 52
I know the maximum extension of the TS-LS is 102" (32) and 122" (52) when fully extended and I have width of the saws are 69 1/8" (36) and 85 1/4" (52) but what I have not been able to ascertain is where that 102" and 122" length starts from, where the mount points are on a PCS, does it vary for the 36 and 52, etc. If it is from the blade, how much room is there to the left of the blade, etc.
Essentially, what would be a huge help for me and quite possibly anyone else in this predicament is if someone could measure (or knows off of the top of their head) what the told width of the two Incra options are on the two saw options. The reason I am looking for dimensions for all 4 combinations is because I am not clear (yet) as to whether the total width of the TS-LS is impacted by the table width of the Sawstop (i.e. mounted further down), if not, and the choice is simply "do I want the OEM table or not", then I am really only looking for the total width of the two Incra options.
Sorry for rambling in my first post, I have gleaned so much knowledge from these boards and hope to contribute more and appreciate any insight that can be provided.
