I have always wondered why the Saw Stop Contractor Saw is not seen out in the world and I did not realize that the saw can only has a 25.5" rip capacity. For most individuals this Where now the standard is 32". But also seeing the other options out there not having the largest capacity is a major limiting factor. Yes having your fingers at the end of the day is a huge plus but the function of the tool is to rip materials. And to be limited to a shorter distance is a big turn off especially for the price. I ultimately feel that the saw stop has to adjust certain aspects for someone to spend over double on this saw instead of the other brands. Also with the use of track saws I start to wonder the real benefit in the entertainment industry to have contractor saws in our tool kit. Finding that you can do the same level of precision with a track saw and it takes up less room in the job box. I would have rather had a larger rip capacity, then the battery. I understand the benefits of that function but as someone who utilizes these tools I would rather be able to get the majority of a four foot by eight foot sheet cut, on the saw not having the majority hanging off.
