True, it's a glacier. But what a show! But the new agey hammer dulcimer music! Yow! I feel all Enya'd up.

Too bad it's part of the global warming trend (according to predominant but not exclusive opinion) - planet wide, glaciers have been disappearing at an alarming rate.

@Chad (if that is your real name!)

Speak for yourself, man!!
WE WHO KNOW have been celebrating it for nearly 20 years and have even rewritten the Doors' song "20th Century Fox" with lyrics honoring him. In fact we're due for another round and another verse for Guy right now!

'Til the Fight Is Won, Brethren!

"if you’re going to ingest something harmful and nasty like shoe polish, what’s the advantage in straining it?"

Ever try to pee shinola? Obviously not.

All this reminds me of a Russian carpenter I worked with: as little kids in the Russia of the 80s, they would drink stolen bottles of perfume. To get the (equivalently) dollar-a-bottle vodka, they would break into the morgue of the neighboring hospital and steal the coins put on the eyes of the dead. Found syringes would also double as squirt guns.

@Kurt Richter: you have to replace the fuse wire that burns in the trip mechanism. You can still cut after sawstop trips but your blade is now garbage now having dug into the aluminum pawl and brake block. So a blade change is in order.

I hate childproofing the world on the whole and Sawstop won't stop all the injuries: pieces can still bind and kick, debris can still be launched into eyes, flesh, carbide teeth can still fly, etc. But if this wasn't approx. an additional $1000 more (a comparable Unisaw runs about $1900) I wouldn't mind having one. I hate the legal bullshit the inventor is perpetrating; why can't he just 'make the saw-sell the saw'?
I still have questions though: Why wouldn't UL issue a certification? I've seen the UL stamp on some of the sketchiest stuff in the universe.
And does this gizmo work when your hand is making contact with the conductive metal table as well? Would it prematurely trip if I was pushing a particularly wet piece of wood through? If I had to reset and buy a new blade every time I pushed a green piece of stock through, that saw would be on the truck in about 5 minutes.
Too bad the inventor/jackass has effectively blocked much of the approval process by virtue of his avalanche of patents.
