I think that the saw is Made in Taiwan...and thats according to Steve Gass, the inventor/owner

Still don't know for sure yet Ding. Should know more by the end of this week. But I don't think it will be as high as your prediction.

At this stage there is only a 10" cabinet saw that has been fitted with the SawStop device. There are rough plans for a bandsaw and a docking saw, but no plans for a panel saw.

Correct.

The saw itself is made in Taiwan. All the electrics including the braking system is made in the USA.

Pricing now in!

This machine will cost $5,500. This includes GST as well as delivery & installation to most parts of Australia.

Should the emergency brake be activated due to contact with a finger (or hand, arm, face , etc) then you will receive a free, yes FREE, brake cartridge. You will, however, need to purchase a new sawblade.

I'm pretty well versed on the machine now, so feel free to ask any more questions.

Id rather a Felder, do you sell them?

Stopper (hope you don't mind me calling you stopper), this is the bit I don't understand.

If the saw just saved someone's finger then why do you need to compensate them with a free cartridge. They should be grateful and happy to pay for a new cartridge right?

Or is it just out of goodwill?
