Both Sawstops are functional!

Can someone clarify what PCS and ICS stand for?

I believe it’s Industrial Cabinet Saw and Professional Cabinet Saw.

ICS = 7.5 HP
PCS = 5ish HP

That terminology will confuse everyone. I guarantee they will end up being called “the old saw” and “the new saw”.

I guess as long as we don’t start telling directions around the shop via tools that used to be there :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy:

I propose the name Carbon Copy for the new saw

I just call them big and small in safety class🤷🏻‍♂️

The terminology is especially confusing because we don’t have a PCS. We bought a 5HP ICS to complement our 7.5HP ICS. The PCS is a different saw entirely.

(we had talked about getting a PCS because 3HP would be plenty for a second saw, but decided to get another ICS so both saws have the same control layout)

Looks like I’ll be calling them the ICS and the ICS respectively from now on.
