Thread: Sawstop CTS

Dave Stanton has a number of videos on it. He reckons it's pretty good.

Yep, I’ve swapped my Bosch GTS 10XC out for the CTS, purely for the safety factor as it earns a living on job sites. It’s a better quality unit, but it’s still a portable table saw. I don’t think you can compare them in any way shape or form to a proper cabinet saw.

Fence runs on rack and pinion with nice parallel repeatable movement. Blade rise fall is very smooth. Fine adjust of the tilting blade is a brilliant addition. Supplied mitre gauge is ordinary. I’ve run an 80 tooth 10” blade for some nice plywoods to prevent tear out. The tunability of the blade to the fence and mitre slot is a real strong point, only take 5 mins if something get knocked out of true.

Only other competitor is the DeWalt 10” powered IMHO but it’s not as good.

thanks for that info. I am not looking at the safety so much, just accurate cuts....and relatively easy set up to get them....and not going to be cutting large/wide stuff etc.
