I've looked on the Sawstop site, and used the search function here without satisfying results. Could someone who has a SawStop PCS 3HP with the 52 in fence give me the floor dimensions required for the base and table legs? I'm trying to see if an existing mobile base I have will work. Thank you!

Hi Jim,
I have a PCS with the smaller footprint (36"?); bought the saw when they released the PCS originally. FWIW I opted for the upgraded base that comes with the ICS saw and am glad I did. It is very stable and works nicely. Whatever base you choose, you will like this saw!

The Sawstop site says 85.25" wide by 33" deep. It will be 34" tall.

I have that saw and 52" rails, and I measure the footprint base as 18 3/4" by 19 1/4. The table legs are 26 1/4". Don't know why the legs would be part of the mobile base, but if they then 26 1/4" by 84 1/2". I have the PCS mobile base and it works fine. It doesn't move freely in four directions like I think the ICS base does, but it's good enough for me. I rarely have to move it.

Thanks everyone! I should have put in my original question the reason I was asking for this info. I currently have a General 650 with a 52 inch fence. It sits on an HTC mobile base, which holds both the saw and the legs for the extension table. I would like to use the same mobile base if possible, to save from having to purchase the SS mobile base. I think my General is slightly heavier than the SS. The current mobile base moves with ease.

The Delta mobile base I had under my Unisaw was like that, the extension legs sat in the base. My saw is an ICS so this may be off alittle from a PCS, but the legs are 50 7/8" from the cabinet (52" fence). My cabinet is the width as the PCS..18 3/4", so it should be the correct length.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.
