SawStop, stops on contact with skin is coming to Europe soon!

Still can't edit posts! Why is this?
Was going to add; it's a bit like feeding a wild animal behind bars; you could throw it in, but if not: would you hold the meat in your hand or offer it on the end of stick?

The only way you know if a SS is actually safe is if you trigger it, which is caused by you behaving in an unsafe manner?
Work smart, work safe

No, you use a sausage!
The trouble is you then have to replace bits and reset it, but then the only way you can test to see if it is now safe, is to trigger it again (with another sausage).

Are these saw controversial? I've done a fair few shifts in the ED and table saw injuries completely put me off buying one, losing a digit would end my current career path. I was saving up for the festool with sawstop but I'm now considering the sawstop compact, apart from money do you lose anything substantial by buying a saw with sawstop, is it substantionally worse than Makita 2704N?
