But even if I had the money for a new Sawstop, I don't think I'd buy
one because of the principle. I don't want to knowingly feed greed and
arrogance, wherever they exist, if I can possibly help it.



And *I* wouldn't buy one because when the time comes that my common
sense, agility, and attention to safety factors are so badly
deteriorated that I feel the need for the device I will discontinue
using a table saw.

Max, you are already there if you really believe that common sense,
agiaity, and or attention to safety factors will protect you. There will
be new safety rules written in the future for the accidents that are less
common and of which you have not yet heard about. Imagine my suprise 22
years ago when I thought and worked the same way and cut half my left
thumb off and the TS was not turned on. I still have not seen a safety
rule written to prevent the accident that I had.

When you are done with a cut, crank the blade down below table height.

That would be tedious and a waste of time and will introduce a lot of
inconsitancy if cutting 30-50+ dado's in draw bottoms.
