How often do you cut wet wood? I don’t think I ever have. So I think that’s a non-issue. I don’t see how you can say making the SawStop merely as safe as a normal saw on rare occasions is a problem. If you’re bogging down any piece of equipment, you’re using it wrong. I think shutting off the motor when an abnormal load hits is pretty smart. Ans, as far as I know, bogging the motor down will not trigger the brake, something else was going on there. Voltage fluctuation? If it were that vulnerable, you’d have those suckers popping so often it’s be a huge story. I know I’ve never heard of it, I don’t think it’s fair to put a black mark on the product for what’s essentially a freak occurance. A fellow wedding photographer had his career destroyed when some falling plywood shoved his hand into the blade. That’s when it hit home how incredibly cheap the insurance of a SawStop is. I don’t care how safe you are, it’s called an accident for a reason. 70-80% of my machine use is the tablesaw, I can’t see risking my $100K per year occupation when for $2k I could upgrade to a SawStop that’s gonna bring me many years of added safety. -- The Wood Nerd -- http://www.workshopaholic.net |
