If you were planning to buy a SawStop PCS cabinet table saw, now’s a good time to make a decision, as their “free upgrade” offer is ending soon.
SawStop usually runs a “free upgrade” promo once a year, where you can choose a free accessory.
This year’s spring promo ends on 4/30/24.

There are 3 choices, with a value up to $299.
You can opt for:
- Premium dado blade set (blade cartridge and plate sold separately)
- Overarm dust collection
- Miter gauge with 60T blade
The dust collection arm is designed for use with the dust collection blade guard, which is included with 3.0 HP table saws but not the 1.75 HP. For the latter, the necessary blade guard is sold separately.
The way the deal works, you order your PCS via an authorized dealer and then fill out a form on SawStop’s website. They then send you a coupon code you can use to purchase one of the freebie accessory options at no out of pocket cost. It’s a fairly quick and easy process.
The PCS 1.75HP and 3.0HP models with all fence sizes and styles are eligible for the offer.
If I were ordering a PCS now, I’d go with the miter gauge and 60T blade. In the past, SawStop offered the overarm dust collection attachment and PCS mobile base as the freebie options.

It’s a little complicated. The 3HP PCS models include the dust collection blade guard, so the other options would be best if getting that model.

Good point about that. Otherwise, with the 1.75 HP model, you need the dust collection blade guard, sold separately.

I see PCS mentioned a dozen times and realized that I’m not sure what it stands for. I assume “something cabinet saw”.
Portable, powered, premium, professional, pretty cool?
Stuart
Professional Cabinet Saw.

Looking at these options, I’ve noticed they’ve removed the PCS mobile base for 2024. I think that’s a good thing. The ICS mobile base (which is available for the PCS) is a much better mobility kit.
