The RazorGage Premise: A programmable saw stop only benefits your business if you can trust
it to position accurately every day.

Fact: Since most saw stops calculate stop position based on motor rotation, drive component
precision is crucial to long term accuracy.

Conclusion: Drive component quality directly affects return on investment.
