I am another SawStop convert. I had a Powermatic 66 that I purchased new, sold it, and replaced it with the SawStop machine after seeing it at the AWSF in Atlanta, GA. The safety feature is undeniably priceless, but the robust "tank like" built machine and high accuracy makes this machine is a pure pleasure to own and to use.

Taking extra care, using push sticks and implementing a zero clearance blade guard are all precautionary measures, but a SawStop is a preventative measure. Read that again, preventative!

I am 51 years old, manage a professional career in business leadership, build 18th Century reproductions in my spare time, but never would I pass on an option to truly prevent injury to myself or impair my ability as a parent and as a professional.

Thanks for a great article.
