Certainly is more than just more than exchange rate difference.Around 3400 here in the USA. Sorry you get soaked.

Thanks!Great looking saw!
I've had a hankering for a Sawstop to replace my 1965 Unisaw but the price in Canada is just insane.
A 1.75hp Sawstop with 36" fence is $4300 before taxes.
Wow. Never would have guessed it was that bad.Are you sitting down?
The 3hp version is $6600
The 5hp is a cool $7300. I would be busted all right!Eh, the 3hp version is underpowered, 5hp or bust
I'll stick with my 80's cast iron General.
I got a Powermatic PM2000
I have a delta table saw I love.
One thing that the expensive Sawstop tech doesn't address is the potential for kick back, does it?
The only time I've even come close to being hurt by a table saw, was because of that - To me, that's more of a danger with any saw.
Does the Sawstop have a riving knife? I think ANY new saw should have one - I believe it's been a safety standard in Europe for some time.
I’ve seen a few people get caught out thinking that the brake is disabled when the saw is off. It’s still active the entire time the blade is spinning down so if you try to get in there with a tape to set up for the next cut too soon you could trigger it.Another comment from another user of Sawstop was the brake fired once when he accidentally touched the blade with his extended tape measure.
Yes the Sawstop has a riving knife.I have a 12" 5hp Powermatic 74, with a set of those ratcheting hold downs on the fence, so I'm not in the market for a saw.
I'm sure the Sawstops are nice saws, but like a lot of others, I got really turned off by the company's legal shenanigans, early on.
