SawStop at Lee Valley Tools

[upscale]

Well, I was wondering if it would happen and it has. Lee Valley Tools is now selling all models of SawStop table saws.

Lee Valley has never really been a big power tool dealer aside from a few pieces here and there. But, then Festool came along and essentially shot that concept down. Now, one of if not the biggest workshop tool that many woodworkers will ever buy has made inroads to Lee Valley Tools.

I'm wondering what's next for power tools?

They did carry the Inca (Swiss) table saws back in the day. I don't expect them to add another line unless something special (as Festool or Sawstop) comes along.

Yes, I remember that. They were the tilting tables instead of tilting blade if I remember properly.

Those were the earlier days for Lee Valley. They were still in the developing stage as a tool store.

In any event, there's still a lot of machinery that could be brought in that isn't covered by Festool. I'm thinking big iron type stuff.
