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

Replacing a Unisaw with a SawStop?

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?
Proud maker of large quantities of sawdust......oh, and the occasional project!

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. Duke

The PCS top is the same size as a Unisaw (27") the ICS is larger (30")
There are 10 kinds of people in the world, those who know binary and those who do not.

Price.
My uni is long paid for.
