SawStop began as a company selling table saws not to just enter a crowded field, but to bring sanity, sense, and purpose to the single most dangerous tool in any shop or on any jobsite. Even when outfitted and used with a blade guard in place, an ordinary table saw is still inherently dangerous, and no amount of proper technique will completely eliminate the chance of a life-altering injury. We developed our patented finger-saving skin-detecting technology and implemented it into a line of proprietary table saws to show the world you don’t have to put your fingers at risk every time you power up a table saw. We’ve sold hundreds of thousands of these saws, but too many people continue to use saws capable of cutting off fingers in less time than you can react. Buy a SawStop, and know that you’re protected.

1. Safety: Our patented skin-sensing system stops a spinning blade in less than 5 milliseconds should a finger or hand contact the blade. We have thousands of documented finger saves from users who are thankful to have been using a SawStop. Your 10 fingers are the reason SawStop exists! We could count them as our 10 reasons and be happy, but we’ve got more. Learn more at Table Saw Safety | SawStop.

2. Quality: We build each saw using only the absolute best parts and components, made from the highest quality materials. Learn more at Sawstop Engineering | Built for Woodworkers | SawStop.

3. Performance: Not only are our table saws the safest available anywhere, but they’re also truly excellent saws built by woodworkers for woodworkers. Many media and influencer reviews over the years have said our saws would still be considered great even if we didn’t have our proprietary safety technology. Hear from actual users at Stories Archives – Sawstop.

4. Dependability: Although we stock parts for all of our saws, hopefully, you’ll never need to make that call looking for a replacement part. Both our cast iron table saws and portable table saws are built to last. (Here’s a photo of an early model—serial no. 9, purchased in 2004!—still in everyday use.) See our cast iron table saw lineup at Cast-Iron Cabinet Saws Archives – Sawstop. Or consider one of our portable saws at Portable Table Saws Archives – Sawstop.

5. Service: In those rare instances when something does go wrong, our top-flight service team is always ready to help. Link to service portal: Contact Us | SawStop.

6. Warranty: Each of our saws carries at least a 1-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects and workmanship, with our Professional and Industrial Cabinet Saws each carrying a 2-year warranty. Learn more about warranties at Support | SawStop.

7. Dealer support: With over 600 dealers in the U.S., plus more in Canada and Australia, we have you covered for local support, sales, and service. Find a dealer at Find a SawStop dealer with our store locator | SawStop.

8. Easy to follow instructions and assembly: We appreciate you buying our saws, so we make each one easy to assemble, with clear, intuitive instructions, fully detailed owner’s manuals, and blister-packed hardware kits color-coded and labeled to match the instructions.

9. Superior dust collection: We want you to cut wood with your saw, but we don’t want you to breathe the dust that action creates. So, we equip our saws SawStop dust collection, with dust shrouds around the blade to channel the dust to a port where you attach a shop vacuum or dust collector. We also have a few upgrade accessories to better collect dust above the blade. Don’t be the filter for your dust! Check out our dust-collection accessories at Dust Collection Archives – Sawstop.

10. Accessories: In addition to those dust-collection hoods, SawStop offers a wide range of SawStop accessories for our saws. Among our offering: sliding crosscut tables, mobile bases, portable stands, an outfeed table, a router table and lift with accessories, miter gauges, storage cabinets, a number of 10” blades, an 8” dado set, zero-clearance insert plates, and replacement brake cartridges. Browse all of our table saw accessories at Sawstop Table Saw Accessories | SawStop.

You know what, we could say that’s actually 19 reasons (10 fingers + 9 others) to buy a SawStop table saw! Each one is important to us, but your safety is the critical core to our whole business. So, get a SawStop saw and enjoy a long, safe journey using it.

Family Handyman magazine is the leading publication in the United States for Do-It-Yourself content, recently publishing a review praising SawStop’s Compact Table Saw (CTS). Tester Robert Annis learned from first-hand experience just how dangerous a table saw can be, experiencing a kickback incident on his decades-old model that did not have proper safety guards installed. “When a piece of oak kicked back on me,” Annis says in the article, “I knew it was time to upgrade to a safer model.” He chose SawStop’s CTS for its small size, easy portability, and affordable price ($899).

“Aside from the technological benefits, this is a terrific compact table saw. The build quality is outstanding. At around 70 pounds, it’s a hefty little guy, but the weight adds to the stability.” Annis said the saw needed no adjustments out of the box, and he set about cutting various softwoods, hardwoods, and sheet goods over several months. “The cuts were highly accurate,” he said, further praising the rack-and-pinion fence and blade-tilt control for delivering both coarse and fine adjustments with ease.

In what can only be called fortuitous timing, John Mautz has a fully intact left thumb after a potentially disastrous table saw accident. Earlier this year, John replaced his old table saw with a SawStop Professional Cabinet Saw, and his foresight was rewarded a short time later. While cutting small sections for a segmented-bowl turning blank, John’s thumb accidentally contacted the spinning blade. Thankfully, the PCS’s skin-sensing system triggered the blade brake, stopping it immediately and pulling it beneath the tabletop.

Instead of a life-altering injury, John suffered only a small nick on the tip of his thumb, barely serious enough for a Band-Aid. “The saw sensed my thumb and retracted the blade so fast,” John said. “Without the SawStop, I would probably have a thumb that is ¼” shorter.” We’re so glad you’re safe, John!

Jake Lewandowski from Great Lakes Builders, and a contributing editor to The Journal of Light Construction (JLC), has long been a fan and user of SawStop table saws. Jake’s construction company already has a SawStop Jobsite Saw (JSS) in its tool arsenal, and with a focus on keeping his crew members safe, Jake was anxious to try out the new Compact Table Saw (CTS).

After using the CTS on jobsites for several months, Jake presents his review of the only sub-$1,000 SawStop table saw. “The SawStop CTS is a premium offering with a price to match: $899 at the time of publication. In my opinion the safety advantage alone is worth this high price tag, but I was pleased to find the build quality to be quite good compared to other compact models on the market.” Click here to read his review: https://www.jlconline.com/tools/cut-above-the-rest_o.
