    Probably the SawStop cabinet saw I bought a few weeks ago. It’s way easier/less sketchy than my job site table saw when cutting large panels, and the peace of mind it gives me from a general safety perspective is priceless. I have been doing a lot of projects with full sheets of plywood since I bought it, which has been an aspect of woodworking that I dreaded before. No more crawling around with a circular saw or precariously balancing between a job site saw and an extra table

      I have a sawstop PCS also, and I still can’t man handle a full sheet of 3/4 on it. I find my track saw is better at handling sheet goods. Do you have an outfeed table or something else to help?

        I have the 52" extension and a roller stand that I put on the left side. Typically just yeet it off the edge tho.

        To be fair, I’m typically not ripping a full sheet, usually cross cutting the 4’ side. The last few inches are a bit dicey still, but still preferable to a circular saw and messing around with clamping a straight edge. I’ll probably still get a track saw eventually
