    I agree with you Crimson, safety is key. I have never had any real surgery except for three stitches when I was like three years old, so let's keep it that way. I like having all my limbs. That and it would be quite annoying to type with only a few fingers on your hands, screw that.

    You're right about the Chinese outsourcing, Crimson - but sadly thats just how it is with most companies these days. There are very few table saws that are still made in America and you end up paying a lot more for them. The sawstop is one fine piece of equipment, none the less. Most of the other brands outsource to Taiwanese and Chinese manufacturers, choosing their standard of quality, usually set by the Chinese companies. Sawstop appears to be one of the few companies that actually sets their own standards.

    As for cutting hotdogs, you can do so if you wish. You can cut conductive materials but turning off the blade stop feature.

    You're also right about the blade guards that build up with wood and you can't see the blade through. They're fixing this problem with overhead blade guards with dust collection etc. I personally just prefer a riving knife, which has been standard in Europe for years now. There's rumor that they're making it required in the US as well by the year 2011 or something like that.

    i have a cheapo $100 mastercarft 10" table saw and it has a, what i would call a imitation riving knife. accept its not sharp, doesn't line up, and gets in the way.

    i like that the stop saw has a toolfree guard and riving knife mine need an allen key. i keep the guard on for most of the time but when you want 45 degree cuts its harder to do with it on.

    Not to go TOO far off topic, but the wife and I have both agreed to live Chinese Product Free (including our local take-out joints) until their government begins to address certain food safety guidelines. Many manufacturers have been cutting corners FOR DECADES by adding known poisons to their human/animal consumption products that are shipped around the world.

    More importantly however is the ignorance of basic human rights for their own people.

    It would be pretty stupid to discard what we've already purchased, so its fairly obvious that this is a plan we have in effect going forward.

    If I would have known this I would have picked your brain while you were out here. The wife and I are planning custom cabinetry for our Kitchen and plan on doing most of it ourselves. The main tool I am missing right now is a tablesaw. My Father-in-law and I are going to go in on one together later this summer.

    ....

    EDIT: The SO and I have been doing the Chinese free for a couple of months (for human rights issues). Let me tell you it is harder than you think. So much comes from China these days. We are also boycotting the Olympics until the Chinese government addresses the Child labor issues. They have children slaving away making Olympic Mascot toys and related material. Who let this government into the WTO? Oh wait, that's right, they are a US favored nation...

    like airbozo said, it sounds like its hard to do since so much stuff comes from them.
