SawStop table saws are known for one thing above all: a blade brake that stops and drops the blade within milliseconds of contact with skin. Power Tool Services stocks SawStop in South Africa, from the Compact Table Saw and Contractor Saw to the Industrial Cabinet Saw.
Choosing a SawStop table saw
- Space. The SawStop Compact Table Saw CTS230A50I lifts onto a bench and suits small shops and site work. The SawStop Contractor Saw 250Mm 1.75Hp CNS175-AU is the open-stand saw for a garage workshop.
- Production work. The Sawstop Industrial Cabinet Table Saw 3Hp ICS31240-50 is the heavy cast-iron saw for daily use in a joinery or training workshop.
- Fence and rail. The Sawstop T-Glide Fence Assembly 36' Rail And Table TGP2FRT36A covers most cabinet work. For full sheets, the SawStop T-Glide Fence System 52' Rail and Table for ICS Saw adds rip capacity.
- Blades and cartridges. Keep a spare Sawstop Brake Cartridge For 250Mm Blades TSBC-10R3 on the shelf, since a triggered brake takes the cartridge and blade with it. Dado work needs the Sawstop Dado Cartridge For 200Mm Set TSDC-8R2. The SawStop Circular Saw Blade 254 x 3.2/2.2 x 15.8mm 40T BTS-R-40ATB is the general-purpose blade.
SawStop Contractor or Industrial?
The Contractor Saw suits a home or small professional shop: a 250 mm blade, a 1.75 hp motor and an open stand. The Industrial Cabinet Saw brings a 3 hp motor, an enclosed cabinet and the mass to run all day through hardwood. If you cut sheet goods and hardwood every day, or run a training room, go Industrial.
