I bought my sawstop shortly after my partner started working in the medical field, where they'd see saw related injuries or amputations come in weekly.

Saw was expensive, yeah.. but they hold their value on the second hand market, if you ever even see them for sale.

I had a cabinet maker over last week, after he noticed my sawstop he showed me his 2 partially missing fingers.

The company also isn't playing games, the saw is beautiful and a lifetime purchase.
