SS destrroys the blade when deployed?

And the brake mechanism, about $200 all in. OTOH, when you pull your
hand back, you'll be happy to reach into your wallet with it. ;-)



The few SawStop mechanisms that I've sold - were all due to
" non personal " contact - ie : wet wood and metal ..

Which reminds me, I need to call SS and inquire into the details of
cutting wet wood. I have cut wet wood and the saw simply shut down
after cutting a few inches. It continued to do this until I used the
over ride switch. But I wonder what is going to happen if I cut into my
aluminum miter fence...

A friend of mine has already 'tried that experiment'. He has the
blade/brake combo hanging on his shop wall.
