Is the saw stop worth the $4,000 if the company is no longer in
business? Say 5 years from now, this guy cannot stay in business, is
this saw worth the money you paid for it and equal to say a laguna.


The way businesses are bought and sold, what makes you think any of the
major tool manufacturers will be the same in five years? Just take a look
at DeWalt, Delta, Porter Cable, etc. Better think twice about buying a Ford
or Chevy too.


The real question with Sawstop is how hard it is to hack the thing to
run without the cartridge if five years down the road you fire your
last one and Sawstop or their heirs or assigns is no longer able to
provide you a replacement.
