I am getting ready to step up to a 3hp table saw. I narrowed it down to Saw Stop Professional or Powermatic 2000 52” saws.

Also consider that the Powermatic has a larger Table

Unisaw
I was under the impression that Delta is now a Taiwanese co.?
unisaw is nice
The Unisaw is made in the USA and the brand is owned by Black n decker now. Use to be Pentair. The unisaw was bnd's attempt to get back in the quality ts market. They did a really nice job its a wonderful saw sith some design changes that were very nice. On their website is a video showing it being made and i remember a piece on it on cool tools on diy channel. The powermatic is a nice saw too and I love there blade change set up. The sawstop is a fantastic saw and well made with the safety feature. I don't think you would go wrong with either. I would not mide having any of them. The safety feature of the sawstop would be nice to have. For me old iron. Go get an old piece pre 80's and you can take all that extra cash and buy all kinds of other tools and you won't have to worry about that quality question.
