SawStop

Professional Cabinet Saw Rip Capacity: 52"R, 12"L Table: 27"W x 44"L Weight: 449 lbs

Depth of Cut: 3%" (90°); 2%" (45 Street Price: $2,999 www.sawstop.com (503) 570-3200

SawStop's revolutionary blade brake (inset) offers industry-leading safety, and the dust-collecting guard (left) promotes cleaner sawing in general.

For other details, the saw's fully adjustable rip fence locks down tight, and an oversized paddle switch shuts things down fast. Good operator controls also make sawing more pleasant. Here's a sophisticated, high quality but expensive saw.

Choosing a Winner

In our strained economy, the "value" tension between price and features has never been greater, so picking a "best" saw is really tough. If cost is critical, Grizzly's G0691 puts a very solid cabinet saw

within easier reach. If you want a premium saw with today's finest advancements, the Unisaw, PM2000 and SawStop deserve top billing. Still, we award only one winner. So, given its safety benefits and superior dust

control, I think SawStop's Professional Cabinet Saw edges ahead of the other two competitors as my "Best Best" here.
