Don't try and backpedal to try and make us believe that you did not say
that
the saw had to be shipped here or there...? I mean, if you know that
there
is a possiblity that the sawstop device is going to be activated and you
don't stock an extra cartridge and blade? Well then, maybe you shouldn't
be
allowed to operate ANY power tool?

So really the cost of this device is twice what it appears?
Regulation about who can use tools based on how well supplied with spares
they are... What a concept. This will reduce the number of contractors in
business by an order of magnitude. On the positive side, no excuse to head
off to the store and then out for a cup of coffee.


Average reaction time when feeding your hand into a saw blade is 2.5
fingers. At that point you might as well throw them into the garbage.

Is it really? Can you show me where you got this data from, or are you
just making things up?

Actually, Steve Gass of sawstop stated in a post on Sawmill Creek that
"People regularly push three fingers right through the blade before they
can
flinch. Human reaction time is about 25-50 times slower than SawStop, so
even if you are going fast, the accident will likely be far less
significant
with SawStop than without it."
I am quite sure that if you email him, he will be glad to support any
statement he has made with research, links, proof, etc.

So you base your statement on hearsay from someone who has a substantial
vested interest in the topic? I'm still trying to figure out how the math
works out from what he said to "2.5 fingers". Word problems... what can you
do!

Again, where do you get this idea from? Have you been to their website
and read it thoroughly?

Yes. Perhaps you can show me where it says that the device is
user-serviceable. Just because it is in a cartridge does not mean that
it
is user-serviceable. Their site has a fair amount of speculation to it.
It has been that way for a long time. This makes me think that they are
not progressing well. Since you are so familiar with it, please point
out
the part where it says they are user serviceable.

You could email them at , instead of speculating
here
on the internet, and perpetuating yet another "urban legend" and find out,

No, you claimed it is user serviceable. Perhaps you can stop speculating and
find out.

My suspicion is that you don't have the balls to man up and do some
research
like Steve Gass has, so just keep putting YOUR spin on this issue, instead
of getting the facts.

I'm not interested in the facts. If I was I wouldn't be wasting my time
debating you.
