Well, I've had a week using my new Sawstop ICS. 5HP, 3-phase as I now have 3-phase in my new shop. I replaced my Sawstop contractor saw with it.

OMG!!!!!!! What a difference. It's not just the power. It's the smoothness of all operations. Everything seems effortless with it. I had modified my contractor saw to dramatically improve its dust collection (which did work), but the dust collection is far superior on the ICS.

It was quite the experience taking it out of the crate (thank God for the overhead hoist), and lifiting it on its mobile cart, which is also fantastic.

Yes, it costs about 3 times more, but...

What an upgrade!!!
