    Also, wanted to say if you end up wanting a network where your cattle are, I'd recommend placing an old utility pole in the middle, then connect an bidi outdoor access point to it (best 2.4 GHz for longer range), power it off of solar. That way you have full wifi coverage throughout your field.

    Sorry, but this is exactly why I am not interested in a Sawstop. $100 to make your saw work when you did nothing wrong??? Then, if you cannot purchase a new brake within a reasonable amount of time, you can wait a few weeks for the newly tested brake to arrive, then continue with your project. And of course we've all heard stories of the brake going off for no apparent reason. Another $100 to continue. Also, I'm much more concerned with kick-back versus putting hotdogs through the blade. Too expensive for the one RARE case of bad table saw practice. I'm happy you have a good experience with them either way. I'm sure they're an excellent company. I know they make a very nice saw, but there are others I would opt for first, without the safety tech.

    • @homestead_diy
      @homestead_diy หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for the comment. Ironically I've never tripped the brake with my fingers. I'm pretty careful. But it is worth the extra money just for that security. My dad lost a finger (not on a table saw), but I did witness how it changed his life. So I wanted to do whatever I could to help ensure it didn't happen to me. If I had an option for my miter saw and router, I'd likely purchase something there. But to each his own. I'm sure tons of people have opted for a "normal" table saw and kept their fingers.

SawStop sent me both of those parts for free even though my warranty expired by 8 months

      Great to hear. As I said, I was totally impressed with their support.

    I have no interest in supporting a company that charges more than what I paid for my first car for a spinning, sharp wheel with 1/96th the horsepower of said car who refuses to lease the patent to other tool makers and sues anyone who makes similar but different tech. Sawstop's greed is literally wounding and maiming people everyday. In 1959, Nils Bohlin patented the 3-point seat belt. He gave away the patent to save lives. Imagine how many lives/livelihoods this tech could save if Sawstop wasn't greedy (along with many other companies, but I digress). Even if it became law that you could only buy Sawstop table saws, I would rather take my chances with a blackmarket 1970s Craftsman with no splitter and bad bearings than pay Sawstop the ransom of a 1989 Buick Regal.
