I suspect they probably have the K$N air filter syndrome. No one likes
to admit after they spend bucoo bucks that they screwed up.

yes, i went ahead and bought the 5412 and the dust port is a joke. It
came with this little wire supported bag thingy and i've made maybe two
dozen cuts and there is not one speck of sawdust in the bag. Having
said all that, it doesn't bother me, because i have a broom and am
gonna
sweep up afterwards anyway. I expect saw dust in a wood working area.

The first paragraph above is a comment you made from the SawStop
thread and the second paragraph is you commenting about how a
particular aspect of a tool is a joke.

Thanks for making my point. SawStop, dust hood, whatever, people talk.
If the SawStop didn't perform to specs, people would talk. It doesn't
mater what kind of prevention Gass might take, if the SawStop didn't
work properly, we'd hear about it.


Careful there Dave, you are flirting with what actually happens in the
real world, this is a news group. :~)


very good point, Leon. It IS real world experiences that make the
differences, not what some pencil pusher says a product will do.


There you go!
