Cartridge is the size of a sandwich so no problem to store. Not sure
what you mean by extra space for blades and dada sets. You need to
store those for a saw stop or for a lesser saw too.

I'm referring to the extra dado sets/blades to replace the ones
destroyed by trips. Don't really need those for my current saw.

My shop is 240 sq ft with:
tablesaw with router table
jointer
planer
bandsaw
drill press
lathe
radial arm saw mounted in 16' work table
sharpening center
dust collector
mortising machine
disc/belt sander
1' belt sander
wall storage cabinets full to the brim

All tools except the RAS are on mobile bases so as to expand into the
rest of the gar^H^H^Hshop when the truck and van are moved out (HOA
won't allow them to live outside permanently). Not sure there is room
for a ham and cheese sandwich.

I thought my shop was small at 560 sq. ft with about the same tools
except 2 bandsaws and a lathe. Got so I couldn't get anything done
without a clean up which always consisted of building more storage. I
just added 360 sq. ft. and am looking forward to rearranging
everything.

I forgot the roll around clamp/glue/hardware bin rack.

When does the patent expire?

Stephen Gass holds 89 patents, most of which have something to do with saw
safety. The latest patent was issued April 19, 2010 and is for a miter saw
with safety system. The last Saw Stop type patent that I see was issued
April 30 2007. Patents last 20 years if maintenance payments are made.

Twenty years from the date of filing, not the date of issue. That's usually a
couple of years before.
