I bought the PCS SawStop. No injury or anything, just wanted to replace my 1980s Jet cabinet saw. I thought about a slider, however I have never seen one and was unsure if I would really like it. Also a slider was more money than the PCS. I made my decision because the consequences are enormous compared to the cost. I hope I never have to test the feature, but know even doing everything right something unexpected could happen. I have no second thoughts buying the SawStop.
When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.
