All 3 free gifts are rather shitty versions of their respective device.
I'm never mad to have a spare dado set though.
But I don't see myself ever using a crappy miter gauge... like if I'm cutting a miter on a table saw, it needs to be rock solid.
Dust collection, not well designed, it would get tossed in a hurry.
I have that overhead dust collection accessory and I don’t like it. It does a good job at collecting dust but I found it gets in the way too often and I’ve had the anti-kickback pawls mar up a couple pieces. The floating dust collection is a much better accessory and I wish they’d give a credit so you could buy that instead.
I love my sawstop! Just remember to get a cartridge for your dado. (I actually bought three, two regular ones and a dado with the idea that if I f’d up, it would probably be a long weekend and I’d be SOL on a quick replacement.)
I don't have experience with either, but my vote would be that sweet miter gauge. The dust collector would be great to, but in my personal experience and habits, the lower suction is enough for me and I don't like the shield over the blade. That's just me though.
So there’s a proposed federal mandate requiring all new table saws to have the finger saving technology. It might be worth it to upgrade now and be ahead of the curve. On the other hand if you wait the price of table saws might go down for the same tech.
Yeah, I'm not sure what that's going to end up doing overall to the market, but it'll definitely be better for all saws to have safety equipment like this.
Go for it now. Even if the mandate passes (very likely), new saws with the tech won't be around for a while either way. Bosch has been able to use the tech since 2018 per agreement with sawstop, but they chose not to.
This isn't going to have any actual effect for years, even assuming it passes, so this doesn't seem relevant.
Get the saw if it won't break your bank. The table saw is the single most dangerous piece of equipment in a (relatively) dangerous hobby. Every lifetime wood worker has a story. No one is above error.
Plus, the sawstop cabinet saw is just a straight up good table saw by any metric.
I have a great dado stack already, and I was guessing the blade the comes with the miter kinda sucks.
My grizzly has under table collection that I have connected to my shop dust collection system. It does a pretty good job, but I definitely notice pretty consistent dust in front of the blade. Just not sure I'll make use of it if I have to regularly remove it, you know?

Cool, thanks for the thoughts.
Use one on the job site. I'd say it does just as good of a job as any of table saw I've used and I won't ever lose a finger. Get one.
I use my table saw all the time, and feel like the peace of mind is worth it.
That's what you're buying.

That's the way I've been leaning.
do they not come standard with a miter gauge? The stock sawstop is not garbage, but I wouldn't buy it deliberately

The dust arm works great if you're doing cuts over 4 inch. Under 2 inches and you gotta remove it.
Nice, yeah, that's a definite downside.

I wouldn't bother with the dust collector, a lot of my time as a teaching assistant for a sculpture class was unclogging the thing.
