Re: Replacing a Unisaw with a SawStop? - EricU - 04-18-2016
I wish my PM66 had a riving knife. I have often thought that I should have gotten a SS, but that would have meant that I wouldn't have a saw at all

Like Shoottmx, I like to use a 7 1//4" blade in my uni for ripping once in a while to save on the kerf. Is it that one cannot physically use a smaller blade in a SS or is it just that there would be no safety stop using it?

CS just had a post on his Lost Art Press blog a few days ago on his experience with the SS after owning and using it for 33 months.

If I was given one I might consider replacing my 1950 Uni.
But honestly my only complaint with the old girl is the lack of a riving knife. Other than that she's been more than up to any task I've given her.

one of the members here was making a riving knife for Unisaws.
I was going to get one, but never did.

I went from a Uni to SS and am very happy with the SS.
Uni table is 27" deep and SS is 30" deep so wings are different but a length of 15 series 80/20 fills the gap nicely.

The PCS top is the same size as a Unisaw (27") the ICS is larger (30")

I'll just settle for a splitter!

What is there not to like about a SawStop?

Price.
My uni is long paid for.
