The Sawstop debate rages on
I was surfing a metalworking forum that I am a member of, and lo and behold right there in front of me was a SS thread. Being a curious Creeker I couldn't resist a good debate.
Turns out opinions and emotions run just as high in the metalworking world about this subject! Just for kicks I mentioned the ever popular Festool vs. EZ Smart debate to see if I could start a good throw down!
Always stirrin' the pot!:D :D :D
A shop with employees or school in certain areas.
My thinking with Saw Stop is this: I'm a school district or shop with students or employees using tablesaws. I purchase a table saw(s) without sawstop-type technology. One of the students or employees suffers a major injury that Saw Stop could have prevented. Of COURSE I get sued. How do I justify not purchasing equipment that could have prevented this injury? I'm not an attorney or well versed in liability issues, but this is something to consider. I also wonder if there are insurance breaks that might help offset the price premium.
