The previous thread regarding the field test program from SawStop for their new cabinet saw is valid. I just ordered mine and it will ship next Thursday.
The discount is really good, and they are offering 10% discount on any and all accessories ordered with the saw.
My total price including 52" extension with T-Glide Fence; Dado brake cartridge; extra standard brake cartridge; Mobile Base unit; and 8" Dado Insert.... and including GA tax = $3018.39
As stated earlier, any changes to the final production machine will be sent to field testers, as well as the upper and lower dust collection system this summer.
The original email Dylan sent me is reproduced below explaining the program.
I am wayyyyy excited! I'm a professional pilot and defense contractor. I work overseas every other six-weeks and then I'm off for six-weeks during which I am learning woodworking... still a novice! I can't afford to lose a finger, as that would cost me my six-figure job, so SawStop is a major lifesaver when it comes to my hobby vs. job! :D
Here's the email:

·Commit to use the saw frequently for 30-45 days after receiving it
·Report back on your experience using a questionnaire that will come with the saw
You may purchase either a 36” or a 52” fence system and you have the option of buying a mobile base.
