Not surprisingly, both saws make the cut, but I found that each invests your $3K differently. Either has the potential to be the last one you’ll buy. Weighing in at around $3,000, each offers features you won’t find in the other competition. In the opposite corner, the SawStop Professional: a classic cabinet saw that offers the exclusive protection of a blade-stopping brake. In one corner, Delta’s new Unisaw: a redesign of the original workshop workhorse.

In this never-ending battle royal, it’s refreshing to find two brand-new contenders. In truth, even testers have a hard time discerning if that deal-making (or -breaking) difference can be attributed to manufacturing tolerances or some lucky break during the production run. Second, calling a winner solely by the numbers-measured in thousandths of an inch-guarantees a rematch. First, quality tends to have a direct relation to the price tag, so pitting a bargain brand with a top-shelf saw isn’t a fair fight. Having tested and used cabinet saws ranging in price from less than $1,000 to more than $2,000, I’ve learned a few things. Since then, piles of pages have been written and mountains of sawdust made in the quest to discern significant differences between the many descendants. With few exceptions, cabinet saws come in many different flavors, but most are derived from the original Unisaw, designed by Delta in 1937.
