I didn't understand the last sentence in your comment. Could you be more
explicit about what you meant? The supersaw takes about as much space as

Sure. I don't have 220V and won't anytime soon. So that took out "most
cabinet" saws. And "many/some/a-few" cabinet saws are $850. So I had the
floor space for a cabinet saw - as long as it had 30" rails, but not the
power.

On the contractor saw front - I'm in one-bay of the garage, and things need
to get pushed up snug against the walls. I thought, at the time of purchase,
having the motor inside the cabinet would be a big help. Also good
contractor saws were pushing $600.

Thus was looking at hybrids. (Family members who had used the DeWalt, liked
it.)
Had a little extra cash that month, bought the "marketing hype" and
purchased the saw.

Knowing what I now know - I think I'd have been better off finding room for
a contractor saw and going that route.

The Supersaw throws impediments at you from time to time - the timing belt,
the inability to buy a dado insert, the t-slots on the fence are small and
low, the tenoning jig won't fit w/o an adapter plate, etc. But it's here, I
like it and it's a far better saw than I am a craftsman.
