I find it interesting that there seems to ve no mention of the fact that Saw Stop will only prevent an injury if skin contacts the blade. This is great but, what about kickback? A small piece of lumber could get you in the neck or face or stomach. Injury cannot be eliminated all together, it comes down to the user taking enough time to learn proper use and the types of accidents that can occur. In this case it seems like everyone is arguing over one of several ways you can be injured with this tool. I own a Skill portable saw and a Craftsman contractor saw. The Skill saw has many problems mainly, the throat plate opening and arbor wiggle, BUT, I knew this when I bought it and I bought it because it was under $150.00. This being said, there is risk and there are ways to mitigate it (or litigate). The best thing to do is be informed and honest to yourself about the tools you are using and your skill level.

I find that the cheap orange (sometimes black) soft hockey pucks from Canadian Tire work well. I believe they are priced a little better as well.
