Despite Proven Technology, Attempts To Make Table Saws Safer Drag On

quote [ It's unclear whether the Consumer Product Safety Commission will finally pass a rule requiring all new saws to have an active injury prevention monitoring system built into them. ]

Guy invents way to stop getting your fingers cut off from a table saw. Nobody adopts the method, so he starts selling it on his own and lobbies for more regulation. Conflict of interest? Sure. But also a pretty smart idea.

Yeah, I'm curious to see the build quality. I wasn't thrilled with the contractor saw I got to see first hand a few years ago. That's why I'd love a retrofit kit.

(edit) Although now that I think more about it, I doubt that will ever happen because of liability issues.
