I'm totally with Lee, I also timed myself changing blades 1:43.

Not to hijack the thread, but I have a question to you guys re: SawStop. I have several blades that even adjust all the way down, its not within the spec distance for the brake. Most are blades I've had sharpened several times.

I'm using them anyway, my thinking is if tripped, it will only delay the stop time by a few milliseconds -- but, is this bad thinking? I've already had to bench a few blades and one dado set that have shoulders....
I wouldn't do that, a little hesitation on the brake stopping the blade could mean losing a finger or three. I will just add them to my circular saw collection and buy another blade for the SS or toss.
