[QUOTE="Inspector, post: 1575996, member: 1810"] Chipmonk over here at least, "affordable" would be more correctly explained as ones priorities. I belong to a wood turning and a woodworking club. There are lots of members in both that will complain that a proper dust collector (and they own $6,000+ lathes) or a SawStop is too much or unnecessary yet they own a cottage at a lake or a motorhome to drive to the warmth in winter, have tow boats for waterskiing, wake boarding or fishing, jet skis, ATV/quads, snowmobiles, Harleys and have multiple cars and pickup trucks etc. However when it comes to personal safety they don't want to spend. Little different in your country I know. For what it's worth I kept my first cabinet saw when I bought the SawStop. It can take bigger or smaller dado blades than the 8" the SawStop is limited to and it will also take moulding heads or specialty blades too. Jameshow the SawStop inventor first went out to all the manufactures of woodworking machines and tried to interest them in licensing his invention. They all refused to have anything to do with it so he went into manufacturing them. They all had the opportunity to licence the system and probably could have gone to them in the years since and haven't. thikone I'm aware of the Felder saw but it isn't something I can afford or have the space for and I don't even have a cottage. I wouldn't turn it down if it and the shop to fit it in was given to me though. Pete [/QUOTE]
