Why Isn't Sawstop a Bigger Hit? - 58 replies

I’m just catching up on all the woodworking options out there and I just ran across Sawstop. I was astounded. Do you mean that it’s possible to keep a table saw from removing fingers accidentally and it isn’t required equipment on every saw? How did the airbag people miss this one?
