Not sure if it was Santa or my wife or if the two of them are in cahoots with each other... either way, I win! :biggrin: I got a Saw Stop Professional and a Grizzly 3HP dust collector for Christmas! Pictures to come when I get them set up!

Now for the wiring of 220v in the garage...:frown:

Congratulations. Welcome to the Saw Stop fraternity.

Tom

PS Does your wife have a sister??
 
Is your wife happy, or does she want to keep you in your shop more? If its the latter, send her to my house so I can make her unhappy for a while...I need some of what you got. Nice gloat!

I think it was the nick I got on my pinky that drove it home for me. Six stitches in the left pinky on top of the first knuckle. And I think she saw the "Wife Approved" ad in several of my magazines that I was "conveniently" leaving open to that page. The dust collector was just a bonus! What can I say... I WILL KEEPER!
 
PROOF of SAW!!!!

Just got it home last night. The dust collector is on its way!

Hey, that dryer thing in the garage may be 220V. Here is what you do. While wife is at work, be sure, take guts out of the big white box and install shelves for wood stock, and then plug your dust collector into the now vacant plug. All solved!
 
Congrats and huge pat on the back for going safety. Just consider you paid for the E.R. visit you will never have to make.
 
One note about the Saw Stop saws. They are great, well made and I'm impressed by the quality of detail, fit and finish of these saws.
You cannot put a less than 8" blade or dado set on the saw because it will not run. Something to do with the sensors. If there is something I am missing, I would love to be proved wrong.
 
Nice job! I hear its quite expensive to fix one if the blade drops? So don't touch the blade lol. G

And that is precisely what I am trying to avoid at all costs. Sorry about your luck in the past...

Not true at all for the expense. You are only out a new blade ($25-180) and a new stop cartridge ($70). I have seen the local Woodcraft in Springfield, VA test one with a hot dog and then replace the blade and stop cartridge in 5 min. They even got a caliper to meassure the accuracy of the blade after the hot dog. It was only 1/1000th off of what it was before the stop was engaged for the simulated hot dog. That sold me, and the wife was watching the demo the whole time.
