only 10% are against the SawStop because if SawStop continues to thrive

other manufacturers will most certainly have to get on the band wagon to
satisfy the remaining 90% of us. Most likely with more manufacturers
offering this type safety feature the price of this technology will
come
down.

I don't believe that. There's always that segment of the population who
are
going to be driven solely by cost. Just like chiwanese products that are
flooding North America, there would always be a market for a non sawstop
table saw. However, it would be nice if the price of the technology would
come down. I'm counting on that process to happen a little bit more before
I
buy my first flat panel computer monitor and first 60" flat screen TV.


Hi -

Be glad to show you one at the downtown Toronto store ....just have to ask!
(once we're open that is....April 3rd),

We're replacing every table saw we have with Sawstops. (and selling off the
saws we have!)

The bottom line for us is that it's a high-end, well-made tool.... with
excellent safety features. Yes - it's a tad costly... but we have literally
hundreds (if not thousands) people using our shop saws each year .... and
it's not a question of "if" an accident happens - it's "when"....and that's
what makes the decision for us.

Probabilties (and economics) take on a different slant with size.....

Cheers -

Rob
