Any of you guys have experience with Saw Stop?

Oh, geez, here we go *again*. SawStop has been discussed here (and just plain
cussed) at great length _at_least_ three different times. :-b

Do a Google Groups search on this NG for Saw Stop (or SawStop, without the
space) and "false positive". I imagine you'll find a bit of info...

Sorry if it seems redundant - my search turned up some info but I did
not see muc detail regarding *false stops* or false positives as you
put it.

Some false stops reported here were due to a user using a particular
electronic watch that fooled the saw. IIRC the manufacturer sent a resistor
to ad to the saw to solve this problem.

That's a good one. Someone using a sawstop, but wearing a watch while
operating it.

"Particular" electronic watch. Seems like it was a digital.

I was speaking of the irony of using a saw stop equipped saw but not
taking the simple safety precaution of removing a watch.
