Table Saw Upgrade

I decided I wanted the best table saw for my new woodshop, so I sold my Sawstop PCS and got a fully loaded 5hp Sawstop ICS with their large sliding table and the floating overarm dust collection. I changed the thumbnail after uploading, so that is why there is a bit of a confusing spoiler to the start of this.

I sold my 3hp SawStop and bought a Felder 700S 10’ sliding table saw. Looove

[ScottBrownCarpentry]

That saw is awesome. I'll never look at my DeWalt table saw the same again.

Thanks Cam! I've been eyeing the ICS for awhile and wasn't sure if I should splurge for it. Your comment on how often I use my table saw (daily) sealed the deal. I also appreciate you covering the dust collection hook up (and yes, there isn't a lot of info out there), fence config and adjustment.

Favorite holiday is Veterans Day. As a vet I feel I owe a debt of gratitude to those who came before and those who follow.

I love the Troll of the week. It occurred to me to try and “win” that contest just so I can get trolled back. Your comebacks are always priceless and give me a big smile each time.

Love your content, Im a Carpentry instructor at our local community college here in Nova Scotia and we have 4 of these same saws they are the best by far and the safety aspect in a setting like the college is priceless.

Cheers and keep up the awesome content.

Just put together my new PCS 3HP. I was soooo impressed with their organized setup and was easy to get everything spot on!

[douglaskirk]

Very excited. I just purchased the ICS and waiting for it to arrive. Im a general contractor and have never built a cabinet in my life but I want to change that. My friend is a cabinet maker and Ive watched and helped him over the years, he told me to go big with the HP so I did. Good points were that I can grow into it and if I ever wanted to sell it there are lots of takers for a saw that good and that big. I have a good shop and look forwarded to piecing together a great little shop and I fully understand the value of good tools and this seems to be the center piece of a shop.

Add a 1/4" broom material from the base of the guard, dropping around 3 to 4 inches, allowing material to go through, but dust won't nearly as much.

Saw stop has stepped up from the beginning great job guys thanks for supporting cam

[KrazeeG]

Independence day! Hey Cam, I just replaced my Grizzly 3hp table
...
Hold it. Hold it..
Boom, the sawstop ICS 5hp, waiting on the mobile base for setup.
I just watched this video, again to get my major Sawstop excitement going.
I'm retired 61 but this was a dream saw for me.

Cam, thanks for all you're videos. You are by far the best communicating "content creater on YouTube!"

[andylopez]

FINALLY !!!!
I watched so many YouTube videos where all of a sudden some guy gets a new Saw Stop table saw but never where he comes out and says the truth about the company sending them the Table Saw for free. You Sir just earned my Respect for having the balls to tell your viewers how you got yours. Much love and Peace to you and your family.

My SawStop's instructions were the best I've ever seen. My Laguna band saw was the WORST I've ever seen of any product I've ever owned. Go SawStop!

[rickwilson]

Favorite holiday is definitely Christmas. Enjoy the new saw! Thanks for sharing, and the general advise, and comments to help me and others.

[samwise]

Christmas Eve. The footprint of that saw an slider looks like it's bigger than my entire shop!

[DonaldSmith]

My birthday is my best holiday, not really a holiday but a good day when all my daughters come to see me. Great saw good luck with it.

[scottwalker]

WOW at no cost!!! Lucky man! but, you do awesome work. Well deserved

[gandjboyd]

I purchased the Saw Stop 52" contractor saw in 2020 a month before the price went up $200 . I am happy with my purchase . My only complaint was the power switch installation getting my hand to bolt it up, lucky my wife came to the rescue with smaller hands. I added the mobile base, cast iron wings and over head dust collection

I think it would be cool if you did a vid on the business side of thing, such as taxes, accounting, maybe marketing etc.

Memorial Day because we recognize the sacrifices of service members. Very informative and cool to see.
