If the sawstop TS was available when I bought my TS I would have spent the
money. Think about it the extra cost over the life of the saw, which is
likely a minimum of twenty years. Take the extra cost and divide by twenty.
Still sound like a lot of money. If you need something to push you over
the edge here it is. "Do you ever have children in the house? " Anyone who
thinks they can keep an eye on a kid all the time is a fool. Accident
prevention is the cheapest when done before the accident. Last but not
least ask someone who has lost a body part in a accident if they would
prefer it never happened. Never meet someone who would say no.

I am getting ready to make a table saw purchase. I have pretty much decided
on getting the SawStop http://www.sawstop.com/. It looks like a high
quality saw and the safety features can't be beat. It is about double what
I had originally wanted to spend. My thought was that if it prevents one
injury it has easily paid for itself. An extra 2 grand seems like a lot of
money until you weight it against the loss of a finger(s), and then that 2
grand seems like nothing.

Thoughts, comments, advice?

Thanks,
Howard
