Thanks for letting us know - also thanks for paying for the fix…
But not to be too crass, but please continue using the SawStop. The $100 you paid is a lot cheaper than the cost we would have paid for a new miter gauge [and the potential damage it could have done to you]. Next time make sure you can push the gauge [or sled/jig/etc] through without hitting the blade before starting the saw. We even had cuts made on the fence of the old miter saw when the blade was set at an angle.
The most important thing was that you learned a lesson and won’t repeat it [so using the sawstop won’t cost you any thing].
