good point. I use stiffeners anyway. tkx

I normally use the 5/8" bore saw arbor so I can use non-SS blades (Timberwolf, etc). Most reputable saw blade makers will bore the 1 1/4" for the SS "native" saw arbor.

My question is what is the gain/loss for using the SS bore over the universal 5/8" bore?

I'm curious - why spend more for the PP upgrade than just about any good contractor's saw or the new hybrids? Even as much as some cabinent saws.
