If there’s a tool out in the woodworking arena that garners more attention these days than SawStop, someone please bring it to my attention. I see scads of responses on most forums about these saws and when I’m out talking with fellow woodworkers, I inevitably get asked about SawStop saws.
Recently, SawStop introduced a contractor saw. As I assembled this new machine in the Popular Woodworking shop, I thought a few photos and some first impressions I had during the process would be of interest.

This saw looks great!
Can’t wait to get my hands on one.
Thanks for the review.

I’ve got one of these saws, with cast iron wings and same fence as the one you’ve set up. Being a wheelchair user, I cut the legs to lower it 5" to a height of 29". Also installed my own mobile base, a Jessem Master Slide and built an outfeed table. As you said the directions are "Assembly for Dummies". It went together easily with the help of friend. For me this is a great saw and I expect to get many years of "Safe" use out of it.
