SawStop Reliability

I've been tempted to get the Woodpecker Rip-Flip system to make that easier (among other reasons).

Well look at that... Very interesting. Thanks for mentioning!

I put the Rip-Flip on mine last winter. It does make dadoes easier with a regular blade or a dado blade. It is something that Woodpeckers has that is not priced outrageous.

Indeed. When I first saw it I expected the price to be higher. But it's still probably pushing the max you could ask. Much more then you start thinking about an Incra Positioner, which is even more functional. I'd go that route except space/size wise it doesn't work for me.

I will last say that for myself while blade contact can be more drastic an accident, kickback is a less intuitive and hence more likely accident in the case of a grandson… so caveat emptor.

Yeah, although the riving knife, hold down and blade guard help (I would probably have a couple of holes in my shop or me from ripping construction lumber if not for these features).
