I know it is thousands more, but trust me, a trip to the ER to even wash out a finger laceration and stitch it shut costs much more than that. Not only will the Sawstop protect your fingers, but it is also a precision quality saw that can compete with any out there. Don't get me wrong, I am the most daring and adventurous doctor you will ever meet, but I do side with the paranoid safety folks out there that a the extra few thousand you pay for those saws will quickly pay for itself if you just knick a finger with the saw one day. I own a Sawstop because there were a lot of people who were "careful" who have paid me thousands and thousands of dollars to reattach their fingers. If you can't, save up until you can afford it! I know.everyone is careful with the table saw.

So I will be in the minority here, but I encourage you to look at a Sawstop if you can afford it (or the new Bosch that I hear has flesh sensing technology as well). ((Re-reading my post, I realized I mis-spoke, when ripping non beveled cuts, I have the fence to the right of the blade, and hold/push materials as described above, my point still stands, when ripping bevels on a right-tilting saw, I have to reverse how I hold and feed stock)) I would have preferred a left tilting saw, but wasn't going to walk away from the deal It's not impossible, but requires even more care to complete cuts safely. My Unisaw tilts right, and this means that when ripping a bevel cut, my mechanics are reversed.

Most of the smaller portable saws tilt left, and it seems that the mechanics for using the saw (fence to the left (edit:right) of the blade, holding material against the fence with my left hand (depending on length), feeding with my right. With that in mind, I think for the most part, it boils down to preference and safety.

It is surprising (and terrifying) to see how fast a saw can eject pieces. One of the biggest things to remember is not to trap off-cut between the blade and fence. I was sold on the benefits of the higher voltage.

Rewired for 240vac and it was at full speed before I could blink my eyes. Last point is that I ran the Craftyman on both 120vac and 240vac and on low voltage it dimmed the lights and took about 2-3 seconds to reach running speed. When you get the cross-hair aligned with the stuck-on ruler and you build trust in the equivalence between your tape measure and the fence, you will be able to move with speed and precision. The PM has the same exact fence design if you ask me. Yeah I like the solid cast wings on the PM over the "web wings" of the Craftsman but that first Biesemeyer was a light year step forward over anything I had ever used before. While a person could simply reverse the fence the ergonomics get a bit strange and that's not a good thing running a tablesaw if you get my drift.there is less chance of trapping a piece between the blade and the fence when ripping with the arbor tilted.Īt the end of the day however, the fence is what makes the saw easy and fast to use. The PM66's arbor tilts away from the fence in the same configuration. I like the PM66 over the Delta Unisaw due to the fact that the unisaw's blade tilts toward the fence when placed on the right.

My free advice, I have had 2 different 10" saws, a Craftsman "cast iron" with a Biesemeyer fence, and a PM66 of around 1999 vintage (still wearing the USA flag decal from McMinnville, TN).
