I also have no personal opinion on the saw.
I appreciate the safety of the machine and I know from friends that is a fine TS.
But it's the marketing approach of SawStop that made those who "hate" react the way they did, and one example of this is the link you just post.
Directing people towards a product because of fear is not ethical, but it is profitable. It is the same example as the post I put here few hours ago about the dust collection static combustion, which is an issue with the same characteristics… Buy my product or you burn to hell.
This kind of approach makes those people to react.

QUESTION: Would I buy one if I could now?

ANSWER: Yes I would but NOT because of fear, but because it is a good saw and safer from others for now. Latter we remain and watch!

Watch out the market very soon others are coming out with even better or equal good and less expensive solutions to the problem, then I am wondering what will SawStop do I am curious to see their marketing strategy.

pimzedd - Please read my post again, as you have missed my point.
I always think of my safety first but I don't need to fill my heart with fear to stay safe.
You don't sit down and listen to horor stories of car accidents or look at sceary videos of car crashes to drive safely, you drive safely because it's the right way to drive and you are e responsible person.
I have nothing against SawStop as a product or the people who love them, is there marketing strategy I object to.
