That's good info, Rob. I particularly note the fact that you will not
be buying one for personal use. Further reinforcing the opinion that
the technology is good in some applications, but should not be forced
on those who don't feel the need.


That would be trading down as Sawstop does not offer a sliding table.


Maybe, although your argument is less than compelling. (I don't think
I would be trading down from my Ryobi, just because I would be giving
up a sliding tableVBG.)


On a side note; I will be interested to know if your *fire rate*
exceeds that of historical accident rates. In other words will the
safety mechanism result in operators becoming more sloppy.


Operators should not become more sloppy just as gun owners did not become
more sloppy when the safety was added. A blade spinning at 100 mph and the
fact that a blade that is not spinning will still cut you should be enough
of a deterrent.


I agree it shouldn't. But it would be nice to see data to support or
refute that (not that LV's experience, even over many years, would be
statistically significant).
