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.
Does not need to be soaking wet. Had one go off at the woodworking
club when a guy had wiped down a peice of wood to accentuate the grain
so he cood see which side he wanted to be "exposed. He wiped it with a
damp rag, put it into the saw, and BANG!!!!!!

Upon universal application of SawStop, the conventional wisdom will be to
wear rubber gloves when sawing to prevent the $300 rupture of the moving
parts.
