you should upgrade then, accept that each break charge is 69.99. that would suck to accedently touch the blade on the side and have it go off. good thing they put a key to turn it off.

I've been considering adding a saw stop to my shop as I've been planning my soon to be built woodshop. Even if you ignore the amazing technology behind the blade braking they're sitll great table saws.

If haven't already, the forum over at sawmillcreek.org has quite a few posts from people interested in buying or have already bought a Saw Stop.

I'm still using a dewalt 744s. But the local woodworkers source here has a powermatic like Rendermandan's. I actually get this urge to just grab the fence and give it a hug every time I see it.

im pretty sure the scene shop I work at is replacing our two aging rockwell-delta's with these guys. I havent really heard much about them, but after seeing that video...damn. cant wait to use them.

Too much Made in China high-tech plastic crap on that saw for my liking. Period. Besides I want my saw to cut hotdogs too!

It looks like an interesting saw, I've seen this about 5 years ago. I was a carpenter/cabinet maker for 20 years, and I've seen far too many shop workers who don't have the right fingers to pick their nose properly with.

While technology can help prevent accidents, its up to the craftsperson to practice safety. You will not see blade guards in most shops, they are more dangerous than they are worth. Once pine pitch builds up on that clear plastic, its useless. You should always be able to watch the blade cut the material at point of kerf.

First day on a job at a custom cabinet and millwork shop, I discovered that no less than three of the bench machinists (and one of the owners) had sacrificed fingers in that very shop. They didnt have hands anymore, they had lobster claws. By lunch time I packed my box, gave a quick salute to the owner as I walked out and said "See ya later, dude!". This was not a shop that cared about safety.
