NEW SAWSTOP CONTRACTOR

BUILT TO PERFORM. BUILT TO LAST.
​SawStop’s focus on practical innovation, combined with our obsession for using the highest grade materials, produces saws unlike any before experienced by woodworkers. The ideas seem simple to most, and innovation and quality claims are easy to make. Discerning craftspeople need proof.
The proof is in each saw we build.  Find proof in our Contractor Saw, featuring cast-iron durability coupled with the most configuration options of any SawStop saw.

Find proof in the tens of thousands of SawStop operators who say theirs are the best table saws ever built. And then, perhaps, find proof of your own at a dealer near you.

ENGINEERED IN OREGON. ENGINEERED FOR YOU.
​The first table saws were designed in the late 1800s. The core design of most of today’s table saws was born in the 1950’s. Over the past 60 years, companies build saws by looking at the competition and selecting already-created components to cobble together a complete tool.
SawStop saws are different.
Each SawStop model is designed and engineered by woodworkers, for woodworkers. We take advantage of the freedom and take on the obligation, to make a different and better tool. Our engineers avoid off-the-shelf components and old designs in favor of practical innovation.
Our engineers know that the right materials, whether cast iron or steel, are just as important as advanced technology. And the right time to use advanced electronics is when they improve the experience of the operator, never for an advertising gimmick.
All we make are table saws. Table saws are what we think about over our morning coffee, and what we talk about on our lunch breaks.

Welcome to our obsession.

SawStop Saws Detect Contact With Skin

The blade carries a small electrical signal, which the safety system continually monitors. When skin contacts the blade, the signal changes because the human body is conductive. The change to the signal activates the safety system.
