--I'm a new owner of a Saw Stop. Haven't used it too much yet,
but I'm a happy camper. Have been making do with a Rockwell
contractor's saw for 25 yrs and finally upgraded to this; it's at least
as good as the Rockwell; i.e. I've no intention of going back, heh. Had
to get this one because I'm occasionally interrupted when power tools
are on; bad combination with fingers near blade. Well worth the extra
bucks to add these safety features, IMO..

By the time you add shipping, taxes, a few spare cartridges, a couple of
options...ooohhh..let's say close to $5000.00?
A barely used 10-FOOT Altendorf slider with 12" blades and separate
scoring motor can be had for less than that.
Running a saw like that will seldom put you anywhere close to the blade.
Unless somebody's a farging idiot and doesn't use a push stick.
Crazy!!
At $90 to $115 per cartridge, you better bet big!
