Have had the SS for over 3 years without any finger save incident. I never want one as the blade and new cartridge will cost money. Over 50,000 SS have been sold and I am one of the lucky and HAPPY owners.
The dc is the best in all the brands I know (when used with the above the table dust collection).
The quality and accuracy are the best I have ever experienced once you set up the fence properly. If you can afford it, get it -- second hand or brand new. It isn't that expensive, all things considered.
My neighbor makes two to three vacation trips a year but insists he cannot afford the SS...it's just a matter of priority. I value my hands, palms and fingers more than anything as I still have 25 to 30 years of woodworking to enjoy. I have no intention of trying to convince him to dump his rusty UNISAW. It's his hands and money.
If it matters, Frank Klausz and Chris Schwarz also own SS.
