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.

It's not a problem because the saw comes with a switch to turn off the
sensor. Of course, I'm waiting for the day that someone turns it off,
forgets to turn it back on, loses a finger, and sues SawStop for letting
it happen.
Was the "bypass" option on the first saws, or was it added to later
production because of the "false triggering" problem??

It has always been there, the designer was an avid woodworker so he knew
what would be needed. Additionally I inquired about 10 years ago before
the saw was available as to whether the stop would engage after the saw
motor is turned off, it does.
