I heard Kelly Mehler talk about Sawstop and it isn't vaporware.

Who do you know that owns one?


i think there is some confusion about the term 'vaporware' which is
defined
as websters as:

"Products announced far in advance of any release (which may or may not
actually take place)"

saw stop claims that you can buy one today. if this is true, its not
vaporware. if its not it is. whether or not somebody actually owns one
is
irrelevant.

Well you can *order* one, or at least get on a list. It seems as though
it's been a couple of years now that you could *order* one. To my
knowledge, none have been delivered to the public. Per the definition you
cite, it certainly appears to be vaporware. It's been discussed in this
newsgroup now since 2000. It makes one wonder why it hasn't gone to market
yet. If you want to say it isn't ready, then fine, but why take preorders
for two years? Doesn't seem to be the way to make people happy by putting
them on a 2 or 3 or forever year waiting list.
