DavidR8's shop shenanigans

regarding sawstop: European saws have a more sophisticated safety system that doesn't misfire, and one that doesn't cost you nearly 200$ each time it fires. Vendors vary, instead of destroying your blade and the safety system. the saw shuts down, while lowering the blade without jamming it into soft aluminum.

I know people that love SS, and those that resold theirs after a year. It all depends on how you use it and how many false firings you've had. 😱
