Better price than the other models but still more dollars than the average workshop saw. http://www.sawstop.com/table-saws/by-model/jobsite-saw#overview and a short article from Fine Homebuilding http://www.finehomebuilding.com/item/73988/sawstop-portable-job-site-tablesaw?&lookup =auto&V27=&V28=&V29=&V30=&V31=&V32=&V33=&V34=&V35=&V55=&V56=&Taun_Per_Flag=True&utm_s ource=eletter&utm_medium=eletter&utm_content=fhb_eletter&utm_campaign=fine-homebuildi ng-eletter ...with a promise of an article after they test it.

MtnDon Member	# Posted: 19 Mar 2015 16:43 Reply Coincidentally, Bosch will announce their new REAXX (for "reacts") GTS1041A saw that uses flesh-sensing technology to trigger a mechanism that retracts the blade below the table if the operator makes contact with the blade while it is spinning on 3/20/2015. This is great as I am certain the competion will bring other saw manufacturers into the fray. Hopefully the competition will lower costs to where it would be truly foolhardy not to buy a "safety saw". Bosch Takes Aim at SawStop

Don_P Member	# Posted: 23 Mar 2015 06:42 Reply The inventor rather than insurance companies has been trying exactly that for some time. We learned how to surf, I still hate abs most of the time.

Truecabin Member	# Posted: 26 Mar 2015 14:47 Reply i wonder how many times can a saw stop like this better to have respect for the saw than to rely on performance of a high tech device for your safety what if you never learn to use a pusher then one job they have an old saw without sawstop
