But wouldn't most folks already own a suitable fence?

If you have to have it to be insured in the future, you can bet it'll be at
a minimum license fee, like the air bags.

Two years+ is a long time to wait if you need or want a new saw. I
looked
at their web page. Price of the saw seems OK, but they I noticed, the
fence
is optional. Gets pricey all of a sudden. I'd like to see it in
production
a reasonable cost for those that want to buy them, not be forced into it.

Yeah. Me, too, but their attempt at forcing it down people's throats
really
turned me off. When you discover the number/percentage of digit removal
accidents on a table saw and compare such costs with the overall cost of
the
SawStop, you have to wonder a bit.
