Stu,
Glad everything (except your wallet) is OK. Have you reported this to Saw Stop? They might value the information.
Even though it did not need to prevent an injury; the thing worked. You got my brain wondering about how much my thumb is worth. You seem very pleased with your saw. What model is it?
Thanks for the info in advance.
Enjoy,
Jim
Thanks Jim
I really REALLY like this saw, it is the Industrial Cabinet Saw 3Hp, the full Monty, before they came out with the lower priced "Professional" grade of saw. The only thing I can gripe about is the 4" DC hose hook up, it really should be 6", but I'm sure I'm in the minority there, the table top DC is not so good, but they have rectified that with the new blade guard, DC pickup.
I plan on modifying my workshop...... AGAIN....
and I will be changing around where the saw sits, it's orientation and making a seperate workbench, this should allow me to run a 6" hose right to the back of the saw, now I have about 6' of 4" hose then the 6" hose, so I know I have a lot of air movement loss there.
I've worked on some good saws, not a lot, but honestly I cannot imagine a cabinet saw that is better than this one, I know there are a lot of saw that are as good, but better, that would be a tough argument to make, IMHO. I'm sure that the "euro-slider" type of saws are better in many ways, but they are quite a price point higher and boy do they take up the space
With the added safety, or "Idiot Protection System" on the saw, for me.... let me say that again.... "FOR ME" I think I made the right choice, YMMV
