Ready to buy
The retained reference is $899 current independent U.S. CTS-120A60 reference. Budget separately for a compatible stable stand, extraction, outfeed support and consumables. Confirm the current configuration, included parts, support path, return terms and the work that must be preserved before ordering.
Current market
Each line carries its own check date because price, software, specifications, and product cycle do not age at the same speed.
Budget separately for a compatible stable stand, extraction, outfeed support and consumables. Confirm the checkout price and package before paying.
Choose the CTS when SawStop braking and a smaller transport envelope matter more than dado capability, a supplied stand or the JSS cart.

What changed
Older observations stay in the ledger when the current view changes. That lets a buyer tell the difference between an old complaint, an active issue, and a problem that was corrected.
Compact Table Saw was checked against its manufacturer record, the current category collection and the nearest ownership alternatives.
Each amount stays tied to its source and capture date. Conflicting prices remain visible until the seller resolves them.

Owner experience
Owner discussion repeatedly returns to stand choice, carry weight, brake activation conditions, fence setup, no-dado limit and dust collection rather than specifications alone.
These are self-reported experiences from a changing mix of owners, conditions and software versions. They identify questions to test, not a failure rate. Blade, fence alignment, stock, cut, stand, circuit, extraction, maintenance, battery and operator practice vary materially.Current owners discuss CTS footprint, brake value and limitations. The self-selected reports are not performance or safety statistics.
Owner accounts identify fit and setup questions but cannot prove accuracy, injury reduction or defect incidence.

SawStop identifies Compact Table Saw as a 10-inch carryable table saw retaining SawStop Active Injury Mitigation without an included stand
Woodcraft lists CTS-120A60 at $899 and shows the folding stand as an additional item; extraction and work support are separate.
SawStop publishes setup, compatibility or service material that makes this purchase boundary explicit: CTS-120A60 is the saw body, fence and guards without the optional folding stand, and its manual does not permit dado stacks. A table saw can cause amputation, laceration, impact, entanglement, electric-shock, fire, noise and wood-dust injury. Read the exact saw and blade manuals. Verify blade diameter, arbor or bore, plate thickness, kerf, maximum RPM, rotation and riving-knife and guard compatibility; a blade fitting the arbor alone is not compatible. Use a dado only when the exact manual permits the exact diameter and maximum width, with the required insert, riving-knife or guarding procedure and, for SawStop, the correct dado cartridge. Disconnect mains power or remove the battery and follow the manual before blade, insert, fence, alignment, clearing or service work, and wait for the blade to stop. Lock the saw on a stable level stand or base, support long and wide stock, keep people out of the line of fire, inspect stock for metal and instability, and never cut freehand. Use the rip fence, miter gauge, push stick, push block, featherboard and other fixtures exactly as the cut and manual require; never combine the fence and miter gauge in a binding setup. A guard, riving knife or anti-kickback pawl reduces some risks only when correctly aligned and used and does not prevent kickback. An ordinary electric brake or CutSense stops or coasts the blade after switch-off or cut completion and is not skin sensing. SawStop's conductivity-based Active Injury Mitigation has material, bypass, blade, cartridge, gap and operating conditions and does not prevent contact, every injury or kickback. Wood dust varies by species, coating, cut and collector; connect the documented port and effective extraction, and select eye, hearing and respiratory controls from the actual exposure assessment. A qualified person must verify the exact 120 V circuit, grounding or GFCI conditions and extension-cord limits; cordless systems require the exact compatible battery and charger and damaged-lithium handling. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.213 is a workplace rule, not proof that a product complies for a particular workplace. No catalog fact promises accuracy, cut quality, kickback prevention, injury prevention or regulatory compliance.
The current U.S. dealer market separates saw-only, battery kit, folding-stand, rolling-stand and accessory SKUs. Prices cannot be compared without retaining those contents.
Fine Woodworking evaluates the exact CTS format, controls and fence; observations remain test-bound and do not supersede the manual.
NIOSH identifies substantial table-saw wood-dust generation and limitations of lower collection alone; actual controls depend on machine, hood, airflow, material and exposure.
Current owners discuss CTS footprint, brake value and limitations. The self-selected reports are not performance or safety statistics.
8-1/4-Inch Compact Jobsite Table Saw represents the compact corded carry saw branch at $349 current independent U.S. DWE7485 reference.
Jobsite Saw Pro represents the rolling-stand jobsite saw with skin-contact brake branch at $1,699 current independent U.S. JSS-120A60 reference.
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.213 sets workplace woodworking-machinery guarding and operating requirements. It does not certify this saw, a particular cut or a particular workplace as compliant.
The manufacturer record, current market collection, support material and independent category evidence were checked on August 17, 2026. The checkout package and regional support path still need verification. Owner reports are retained as bounded experience, not a reliability rate. A table saw can cause amputation, laceration, impact, entanglement, electric-shock, fire, noise and wood-dust injury. Read the exact saw and blade manuals. Verify blade diameter, arbor or bore, plate thickness, kerf, maximum RPM, rotation and riving-knife and guard compatibility; a blade fitting the arbor alone is not compatible. Use a dado only when the exact manual permits the exact diameter and maximum width, with the required insert, riving-knife or guarding procedure and, for SawStop, the correct dado cartridge.
