On Thu, 25 Mar 2010 14:46:14 +1100, the infamous "stu" no where just
yet scrawled the following:

Oh ok, the blade appears to stop before it moves down, so I thought that
there were two mechanisms.

wow I hadn't thought about false triggering at $60US a go. Is there a "test"
function?


More like $200 a go. Woodworkers use expensive blades and the
replacement cartridge price hasn't gone down, it has gone up to $70
and $90 per. (reg saw/dado) Wet wood can trigger it, too.

Two other niceties for the saw: It's made in China and costs a
minimum of _twice_ the price of a comparable saw.
http://www.sawstop.com/pdf/CanadianWood_Nov08.pdf $1499 sawstop
Contractor saw, (my contractor saw was $139 from Ryobi, Griz gets
$425-700)

$3k for a Sawstop cabinet saw vs $1350 for a Grizzly.
