Default This is so cool! A 'safety' table saw that detects your finger.

That's a fairly inaccurate description as far as I'm concerned.

I recall the discussions well. After the long period of "is this
vaporware or not?" the primary objection was to Sawstop lobbying to
make their technology mandatory in the USA.


No, I believe the people did not like the saw because they were speptical as
to whether it would work correctly, then they were skeptical because the
company wanted the government to mandate the safety device on other saws,
then there was the discussion of vaporware which made no since because the
saw was being sold and was in production at the time of the conversation.


I think the tech is superb. As an option.


So the tech would not be as good if it was mandated?
