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

Yeah, if they're so concerned about safety, how about they give up
their *patent* and just provide the technology, free of charge, to the
saw manufacturers?


Right! And of course, you work for free because you don't have any bills to
pay and you don't care for some of the finer things in life. My apologies,
how could I even think that you might be even a little bit capitalistic.


I'm not trying to force everyone to use my services though. They are.
They're not fighting to have *SOME* safety equipment mandated on all
saws, they're fighting to have *THEIR* safety equipment mandated. And
of course, since they own the patent on their equipment, every time
any saw manufacturer sells a saw, they get a paycheck.
