Now something you should be considering. You obviously are serious
about this hobby and plan to continue woodworking since this is going
to be a replacement saw. Don't ask yourself if you can afford the
SawStop, ask yourself if you can afford to loose a finger or the
expense of the ER.

There are other fine offerings but so far none have your back should
you, when you , make that mistake, have a lapse in judgement, or do
something stupid.

The first time the saw saves your butt is when the saw more than pays
for it self.


This comment will undoubtedly loose the usual ****storm of debate on a
subject that has already been flogged to death. I am strongly of the
opinion that having a saw with an idiot-proof feature allows you to be more
of an idiot.

Bank the $1000, and never use your saw without reminding yourself that it
is capable of causing you grievous bodily harm. Not everyone who uses a
table saw will lose a finger. But any woodworker who fails to be vigilant
might.

The real question: Right-tilt or left?
