Stopped at the Woodcraft store yesterday, and one of the salesman
started talking about the saw stop saw. He said it was $200, if the
system was to stop the blade. He also said, you had to deactivate the
system to cut wet wood. I wonder how wet it has to be to set it off?
oops, I guess the wood was wet.
I think I'll pass, and continue using common sense, and a sharp blade.
I just hope that in a few years all saws don't have to have the system,
and the price of all saws gets out of control.
If you don't want your wiener cut, keep it out of the blade.


I would be leery of that salesman .. .. .. if a cartridge is triggered,
a replacement is $59 .. .. .. usually, up to 3-4 teeth might be damaged
on the blade, so whatever you might pay to have them replaced would be
an additional charge.

If you cut VERY wet wood, the system goes into an alarm mode, letting
you know it sees a potential problem.
