Ever try to cut dampish wood on a saw-stop equipped saw???
Gets real expensive and real difficult real fast.


Everything I've read says it's not a problem.
Even so, here's the real issue. Who's cutting soaking wet wood with a
table saw anyway? There are too many other concerns for me to be using
wet wood before I would even approach a table saw with it. If you're
using wood that's wet enough to set off the sawstop, then you deserve
to pay the stupid tax.

Try building a PT privacy fence.
A. PT wood is VERY wet
B. Many times pickets have to be cut to fit
C. The solution, I suppose, is a circular saw.



That is why I always use/used a circular saw for all cuts on the 30+
fences that I have built. And no not "all" PT wood is very wet, I often
used kiln dried PT to guard against excessive warping.
