Do you mean by "update" get a new saw or do some upgrades to your old saw? It would help to know what you are budgeting for this update. If I were updating my saw right now, I would lean toward the Sawstop, either model.:sold: (The rest of you can stop laughing any time now.):haha::haha:

If you can provide additional information it would help.

 

Welcome aboard John. I have no experience with up grading a saw so take my advice with a grain of salt. I have a craftsman 10 inch saw. If I wanted to up grade the first thing I would do was replace the motor. My saw makes it easy to do. But you have an older one so not sure how this would work out. The next thing I would look into would be the way you measure wood from the saw blade. You can go crazy here. You could buy a top end inkra system or a fence from some other company. Let your budget be you guide. Hope this helps look through the wood catalogues.

Thanks for the suggestions.
