What about 80ips????


May I spell it out for you? I'm using a SWAG to estimate an 80ips
speed. Perhaps someone can actually -time- the speed of a flailing
hand as a person slips and tries to catch himself. Then have Sawstop
test a wiener at that speed instead of in slow-mo, as they do now.


What happens is one hell of a lot less damage than if the saw was other
than
a SawStop. I'd still be much happier that I got a bad cut than loose a
whole finger, hand, arm, or internal body part.


Very likely true, but we won't know until we see the experiment
performed. What I'm saying is that the demo is deficient, showing
only the best-case scenarios. Let's see worst-case!



Ok, that sounds reasonable but only if you yourself start the experiment
with the saw of your choice including the SawStop. which one are you going
to choose......?
