It is a consensus. Most all TS reports, with the SawStop involved,
most always place the SawStop as a top quality machine.


Simply the arbor/trunnion assembly is quite HD on all models when
compared to the competition.


If it's a consensus how do other manufacturers manage to stay in
business?


By making sales of tablesaws. While the consensus is Lamborghini is a
fun car to drive to work, most of us can't afford one for an every day
driver. Sears still sells a bunch of the $299 saws to people that would
rather have a $1500 SawStop.


I had in mind the Unisaws and Powermatics that seem to be still selling.
I question the comparability of a Sears $299 table saw.
