I finally bit the bullet & ordered a SawStop PCS 1.75HP with the 36" T-Glide-Fence the other day from my local Woodcraft store just before the May 3rd. price increase.
I really wanted to get the 3HP. model, but I only have one 30-amp 240V circuit available & my dust collector is currently run on that.
Eventually I plan to upgrade the electrical system in the garage! However, that's going to be a little bit down-the-road since I should also upgrade my main electrical service entrance line to my house.
My first question is for anyone that owns a PCS 1.75HP!
How well do you like it, and have you had any problems cutting thicker hardwood stock?
My second question is for anyone that may have upgraded the PCS 175 to 240V!
Did upgrading it to 240V make any difference in performance?
I realize it won't add any more power, but I'm thinking it may start-up quicker & possibly not bog-down as often under a heavy load.
Thanks
Doug
