I'm posting this only because it informs what is becoming quite a heated debate. I don't have a firm view either for or against SawStop as a technology, although the current owners of the intellectual property seem to be rather agressive in their defence of their IP. I have, however, always liked the cabinet saws as they seem excellent quality. These folks have come across an expensive "issue" with the system (possibly). Easily fixed, but expensive currently.
Given the other thread started by SunnyBob, it's slightly ironic that this particular saw is in a commercial shop without a crown guard! Yes, it is America!
Gerstner & Sons make excellent engineers' toolchests, and have done for more than 100 years. Adam, the camera operator is an excellent machinist (some of his own channel's videos are superb): this is a visit he made to the factory.
