Default Asked a commercial cabinet shop about their SawStop(s)

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.

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.


Hi Joe -

I hope none of them ever fire...

I do use our shop saws here too.... and I don't think having a saw stop will
make people more sloppy... just like with air bags in the car... who wants
to *really* find out how well they work?

Cheers -

Rob
