I just may have to get a SawStop now that the price is going down. I was thinking about it before but I just could not justify the cost. My wife loves working in the shop but the table saw really scares her so I would make most of the cuts on the the tablesaw. To mstrrktek's comments about the price of the stop units and replacement blades, if you are careful (and lucky, accidents happen) you will never have to replace them. But I don't want my wife terrified to use any tool in the shop plus I kind of like her with all of her fingers and thumbs. I have taught her and others that the tablesaw can be dangerous, but if you are careful and watch what you are doing it can be a wonderful tool. I don't think that we will be any less careful knowing that the saw will stop if her finger touches the blade, we won't want to spend the money to replace the stop and blade either. I think I know what I will get my wife for her birthday now.
