I had faith in it stopping before taking off a finger, but not before it did jes a bit 'o damage. Maybe at least break the skin and expose a couple of capillaries to air, like a scratch. Amazing, to be sure, but not enough to pay a couple thousand extra fer a table saw. I'll just practice good shop safety and save the money for another tool ...or five! nb |

More on "Saw Stop"
I'd easily pay a few thou to get back the missing bit off one of my
fingers which was removed by a nasty ole RAS. The mistake I made could have just as easily raked across the entire set of fingers on the left hand but I was fortunate it was just a nib. I don't think the Saw Stops are a few thou more, maybe almost a thou. And a damn fine piece of equipment from the close looks I've taken. I'll have one at some point. Wouldn't stand an employee in front of anything less either. But this is still America (for now), so until our Govt' says you must buy it, you can make your own choice.

I wish I had a saw stop! I miss my finger! That's what happens because of a brain fart. |

Wouldn't stand an employee in front of anything less either. SawStop doesn't give a MSRP that i could find on their web-site, Dealer (base model) prices found on-line -- $3 grand for the cabinet saw $1,600 for the contractor saw. There are other contemporary on-line quotes of _over_ $4 grand for a cabinet SawStop, by the tine you get the 'necessary' accessories. (use a dado blade, you've got to have a different brake cartridge. nearly $100 additional, etc. etc., ad nauseum.) Aside: "Fine homebuilding" reported in 2003, that SawStop 2004 pricing would be $699 for the contractor saw, and $2,199 for the cabinet saw. That's a pretty hefty increase in circa 6 years. ($699 in 2004 is a bit over $800 in today's money; $2,199 in 2004 is just over $2,500 of today's money.) |

You certainly have the right to choose how safe you want to be and how far to take precautions but "thinking that you will always practice good shop safety" will keep you out of harms way is your first step to becoming injured. |

You must have gotten a "deal" on your Unisaw as I have not seen a SawStop that goes for more than $5K. |

The problem with SawStop is not everyone can afford one. I think the government should Subsidize the purchase of a SawStop over what we can afford. I can afford a used Ryobi BT3000 and would like the subsidy sent directly to my bank account. Thanks in advance. LD |
