re: Sawstop

To each their own Charlie,no one can tell us how we want to work, it’s to the individual and the approach we want to take when working with power tools.
I’ve been woodworking for 30 years a still have all my fingers too. I’m still working at 67 and wish I was retired. As to Saw Stops go,I have used them at the school where I teach woodworking and they are very fine machines plus the safety factor.
Do I concentrate when using a saw stop you bet, I know a couple 30 + year woodworkers that have had their first injuries on the table saw after using one all of those years ,they use to say that it was nonsense to buy a Saw stop all you have to do is focus on what your doing,after one of them getting injured he now owns A saw stop.
I don’t own a Saw Stop because I can’t afford one ,but I know that even with proper safety measures and focus It’s posable to get hurt on a table saw especially as we get older.
