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.


Where does Sawstip claim that you can buy one today? They have a page where
it is possible to place a "non-binding preorder" for one of two models,
which will be shipped if they ever actually have a product. I'm still
waiting for the Zeos PCI/Microchannel motherboard that I preordered back in
'87 or thereabouts.

The fact that they will take an order does not mean that they will ever
deliver the product that you ordered. Until they _deliver_ product it's
vaporware.
