about 6 months ago there was a show on tv that showed a new circular saw

the blade hit the hot dog it quit and the electric brake went on and the
hot dog just had a little nick in it... unlike a finger that might have
.... Oh yea...the lack of consumer appeal was proved by the fact
that although they DO "offer" the saws on their website
(www.sawstop.com), there is no evidence that any of these saws
exist or have been sold, in spite of being "available" for a year
or more. Regards Dave Mundt
