Sawstop CTS
Does anyone have one or tried it out?
How good is it for precision cuts and fence rigidity etc.
What would be maximum tooth blade you could fit on this. Looking for a saw that does nice clean cuts suitable for glueing.
Anything else in that price range I should consider?

Dave Stanton has a number of videos on it. He reckons it's pretty good.

Yep, I’ve swapped my Bosch GTS 10XC out for the CTS, purely for the safety factor as it earns a living on job sites. It’s a better quality unit, but it’s still a portable table saw. I don’t think you can compare them in any way shape or form to a proper cabinet saw.
Fence runs on rack and pinion with nice parallel repeatable movement. Blade rise fall is very smooth. Fine adjust of the tilting blade is a brilliant addition. Supplied mitre gauge is ordinary. I’ve run an 80 tooth 10” blade for some nice plywoods to prevent tear out. The tunability of the blade to the fence and mitre slot is a real strong point, only take 5 mins if something get knocked out of true.
Only other competitor is the DeWalt 10” powered IMHO but it’s not as good.
