Question 1

Why is it $250 more on Amazon than on SawStop?

Accepted Answer

$250 is exactly how much SawStop charges for shipping.  So, it's the same price...

Question 2

Is the 1.75 hp big enough to rip hardwood with out bogging it down ?

Accepted Answer

I do wish that I had paid a little more for the 3HP model. When cutting 8/4 hardwoods, I did experience some burning and the slow feed rate had me raising the blade all the way up and pushing the stock through with quite a bit of force (not very safe). I ended up buying a good quality thin kerf blade and the SawStop 2mm riving knife and have no complaints.

Question 3

Can I mount a  Milwaukee 5616-24 Router into this tablesaw somehow?  If so, what would I need to purchase or do?

Accepted Answer

You need to purchase a router mounting plate from someone like bench dog. You could cut an opening in the extension table top or buy a cast iron wing from someone else that has a mounting plate built in it. Do a quick Google search and you'll find all kinds of options. The saw is amazing though so good luck

Question 4

What is the difference between the 30" fence system and fence system on the extended saws?

Accepted Answer

I recently got the 30" fence.  Debated going to 36 for the t-glide, but I really don't have the space for it.  I have no regrets.  I'm an amature and only using the saw a few hours/wk.   I was able to align the left side of fence to miter slot to within 3/1000th (woodpecker's saw gauge) and cutting a 17" length of plywood was within 2/1000th top to bottom.  The right side of the fence did not align as well (about 7/1000th) and there's only one adjustment so I chose to do the left side most accurately.  There's a little front-back wiggle to the fence when not locked, but it is not causing a problem with accuracy.  After doing 4-5 test cuts and adjusting the tape measure lens, I visually aligned 4" for that plywood cut and it measured 4.0035" - 4.0015" (top-bottom).  That's close enough for me!  The tape goes down to 1/64th increments, btw, so it was pretty easy to adjust the measurement.
