We don’t always post the point totals when we do a shootout like this because it gets complicated – you have to decide what the important features and performance categories are, determine how much weight each one should hold, and then actually hash out the scores with the team. That said, some of these table saws scored so close to each other that I didn’t feel it was fair to just leave it up to the rankings.

SawStop had my personal favorite adjustment system with 1-turn full height range and innovative bevel lock.

Use of thinline instead of road cartridge pads makes it harder to play with different pad compounds to dial in braking performance in different conditions, especially if using carbon rims.

The Database Enhancement Gateway provided the “Who Pays?” study examples of both CCC and Audatex confirming pinchweld clamp repair was not included.

Editor’s Note: If you’re using the Bosch REAXX saw without dust collection, you’re going to want to partially open up the clasp located on the bottom of the saw. This allows the sawdust to exit the blade chamber through a half-inch gap. Failure to do this will clog the output port in a very short amount of time. When you use a dust extractor you can keep this chamber fully closed.

Released in 2012 and more recently updated in an updated V2 edition, the Bad Cat Unleash is a simple but effective reamper with the functions described above (achieved via a solid-state Class D power amp capable of a 100 watt output), along with two footswitchable output levels and an effects loop. A bigger, heavier, and a little more expensive option—but one that has been extremely popular in recent years—the Fryette Power Station couples a quality reactive load with a 60-watt tube power amp, along with an effects loop and other useful functions such as a line in and DI out.

If they offered the Colorado in a stick in each trim level, or at least the diesel trim or V6, I’d be heading to the dealer now, but they don’t. So Toyota gets my money.

“This was the case in one of Mettler’s applications,” McGeorge continued, “and because the magnetic circuitry [was designed] to reach only so deep, the magnet could eliminate the need for an air knife and other more manual separation methods.”

The DOM boss tubing isn’t anything special. It’s simply heavy-wall DOM tubing. I purchased inexpensive remnants from the local Industrial Metal Supply (industrialmetalsupply.com). The company keeps short sections of various diameters and wall thicknesses on hand. If you can’t find the tubing locally, you can buy it online from companies like Speedy Metals (speedymetals.com). The company sells the heavy-wall DOM tubing in 1-inch increments, or you can purchase pieces in 12-, 18-, 24-, 36-, 48-, and 60-inch lengths. You’ll need around 20-24 inches to fabricate the four boss-style mounts needed for a traditional Saginaw steering box. I used 7/8-inch 0.499-wall for three of the mounts and 1-inch 0.250-wall tube for one of the mounts. I needed a bit more diameter on the upper forward mount to make contact with the frame for welding. This tubing essentially has a 1/2-inch hole and the steering box mounting bolts are 7/16 inch. The bolts are a loose fit, so they don’t corrode and become stuck, and the box will not wobble around in the mounts. The larger bolt hole gives you some room for error and warpage when welding. You could very easily use thinner tubing with something like a 0.120-wall thickness, but you’ll need to fabricate additional brackets to attach the bosses to the frame. I wanted to keep it simple, even if it added a bit more weight.

Additional Notes: Enough gusto for a trim saw, but doesn’t have what it takes to be a full-on framing saw. Timid performance and some inaccurate features hold this saw back to the lower end. The brand new 6.3 Ah Bosch Core18V battery is too big to fit in the saw, but a modified version of the saw housing is being produced going forward. To promote full battery pack compatibility among their 18V line, Bosch will replace the housing for existing saw owners free of charge. Or you could save the hassle and shave the plastic ridge off the back of the saw with a utility knife like I did. The larger battery robs a bit of the already low blade depth though, even in the redesigned housing.

Ekkehard Zimmermann’s DP Motorsport has been building slantnose 911s before every Porsche fan thought it was cool. Inspired by the 935s (DP built the bodywork for the 1979 Le Mans-winning K3), the DP935 series was a close to the original racer as possible.
