To each their own. Computer vision of this kind is not like cutting edge ai. This is pretty standard fare and has been for decades

Optical mice fail with too much dust on the lens. It's risky to depend on a vision system in a machine that is generating dust.

Have you considered that they've thought of this? Seriously.

This is company producing high end sliding table saws that cost tens of thousands. They've been at it for over half a century.

This is not someone producing a 299 saw as cheaply as possible.

They are a German company (ie regulated heavily) and have a ridiculous number of safety standard certifications that test things like "what happens when there is dust"

do you really think they haven’t thought of the obvious basic issues and figure out what to do about them?

if so, what evidence do you have that this is true?

(Also I think you don't understand European requirements on dust extraction and allowed exposure to wood dust. This saw does not produce a meaningful anount of dust)

I’ve seen more bugs in software rather than hardware, I’ll tell you that.
