Hi all- I’ve been given the green light to purchase a Sawstop table saw and intend to pull the trigger before she changes her mind. I’m excited, and want to make sure I evaluate my options as this will be a ‘buy once, cry once’ investment. Im looking at the PCS 3hp model. Im seeking advice on fences and router wing options.
Would you buy it with the T-glide upgrade ($170), or would you consider buying the basic level fence and put that money toward an aftermarket fence. I’ve always been drawn to the Incra fence setups but have never used one.
I’d also like to put a cast iron router extension wing on the saw. I am looking at the sawstop version, or other commercially available options like the Bench Dog router wing. Just curious if anyone has either of these on the their PCS and has feedback.
Lastly, I see they have their annual promotion where you get a free mobile base or the overarm dust collection guard. My initial reaction was that if the overarm guard was sturdy and worked well, that would be my preference since I think I could reuse my HTC mobile base from my existing table saw. Looking for feedback on the overarm guard from Sawstop users.
Thanks in advance!
