SS destrroys the blade when deployed?

And the brake mechanism, about $200 all in. OTOH, when you pull

it. ;-)

You'll do the same with the Bosch, except you'll be right back to
work after switching the brake firing mechanism around because it
works twice, instead of once. PLUS you won't be out a blade.

But as you well know the double use feature will create a false sense
of security. ;~) You know when when you have a flat tire and open
the trunk and realize that the spare is on the ground already. ;~)
The cartridge trips and no worries until you realize that you have
already performed the hot dog demonstration once before. ;~)

It is a cool feature of not damaging the blade but if that feature is
important to you, you have my nod to buy that particular saw to
begin with. It sounds like you already know you are going to need
it.


That could be said of the SawStop, too. I have no (hot)dog in this
race, but to me if all other things are equal, the Bosch wins. We won't
know until some of the magazines and websites do some good side-by-side
comparisons which one is a better saw, taking into consideration aspects
other than the safety-brake.
