re: Does anyone here have a SawStop Table Saw?

I'm about to use a table saw to cut my dining room table in half to make shelves in my shed. My wife is out of town. Her dad made us a cypress table for christmas and she doesn't know about it. She's gonna get home Monday to the dining table in pieces. This should be fun.

Yeah, the buddy who got me into woodworking isn't the safest, he setups things half arse to move on to the next.
Safe, but gets sloppy, like we all do, during the boring parts of projects.
Storytime:
I got into wood working because this buddy was featured in a magazine about his builds.
Wanted to show him I can do better work.
Competition is fun.

cypress
My favorite wood outside of teak and cedar. I hate oak, not only because it is a bitch on your tools, but don't like boring grain.
Lucky living on the bayou in SE LA we have tons of cypress, find awesome pieces in the swamp, old growth shtt, all the time.

I love the look of it but for something like cabinets it is way too soft. The camp I used to live in had Cypress cabinets and they gave me hell.

My coffee table is a mix of old growth cypress and new growth.
It is way too soft for tables, the old growth stuff a little better because of the tight grain, but it knicks easily.

Conductance and capacitance are not the same thing, not even close.
No shite, I would have never known that.
It works by capacitive coupling. There is a carrier signal produced and introduced to the blade and is monitored then if/when there is a significant change in capacitance (over a pre-determined threshold) the braking system is tripped. Therefore anything that trips the system has to be conductive (wet or dry) for any shift in system capacitance to be noted.
As for replacing the blade and braking system you always have to replace the braking cartridge BUT often (probably 50% of the time based on anecdotal evidence) the blade can be saved by a GOOD sharpening service. I ship all my blades and bits (except carbide bandsaw blades) to Cook Industrial in San Marcos TX but there are a ton of quality hi-tech sharpeners around the country.

This is a pure hobby, would you recommend one of the 13" 3 blade dewalts?
As mentioned the DW735 is the best in breed. You can add a Byrd head which many do and it does help with the worst part of all lunchbox planers... the noise. Contrary to some opinions a straight blade planer will produce a better off the planer finish than any segmented bit head as along as the knives are SHARP, the bigger diameter head the better the finish though the Dewalt has a fairly small head. The only exception is reversing or crazy grained wood where the knives are more likely to give chip out. It is a LOT more complicated than that but this isn't Sawmill Creek so I will leave it there.
I usually suggest if someone plans on the DW735 and a segmented head they consider instead one of the generic 15" 4 post planers like a Grizzly* if they have the room and power requirements. That being said this is less of a no-brainer than a few years ago because the Chinese tariffs have changed Grizzly et al value proposition.
* I hate to even mention Grizzly the owner, Shiraz, and I butt heads all the time both on woodworking machines and F-class rifle.
I also don't want to sound like you need high dollar tools to do good work, I have friends that do amazing work on machines I wouldn't pick up for free off the side of the road and friends with $250k in their shop and do barely acceptable work. I do love quality tools, tooling and machines though as they make life quicker and simpler.
Gotta watch dogs around a woodworking shop too. The dust and noise aren't especially good for them. I let mine hang out during some work but leave them in the house or yard when using machines. My dust collection is pretty high end but noise is noise and none of mine will wear hearing protection.

Just wanted to repeat this. If I am wearing a mask or sound protection, dogs must see themselves out.
I did not think of this for a long time and hopefully they did not suffer from it.

Grizzly 1023 Cabinet Saw
20" Shop Fox Planer
8" Grizzly with Spiral Head
I am more scared of my 14" Jet bandsaw.
