I am there with Alice. The table saw scares me, it is the least used tool in my shop. And when I use it I always wish I was standing six feet away. A feature like the Saw Stop is highly desirable, no doubt. But if I had to pay $2000.00 for a table saw, I just wouldn't/couldn't buy one. And, please believe me, I am very aware of the danger. My son is an emergency room physician and he wishes I didn't do the workshop thing. He sees a number of amputations or near-amps monthly. According to what he sees, the radial arm saw or miter saw is the most frequent villan for accidents. But the table saw is close behind in numbers, however with much worse consequences. In life, we do what we do and calculate the consequences. We cannot live in a closet. Whether our passion is motorcycling, ATVs, mountain climbing, scuba diving, flying, shooting sports, or woodworking, we are making choices aware of the risks.
