What has got me stumped is how they will stop us from getting hurt
with a hammer.

Seriously the product warning lables are getting ridiculous. And not just
the badly translated.
I groan inwardly every time I see "caution contents may be hot" on a lid.
If it isn't hot, I'm out of business.
So it is with SawStop. As I see it there are two types of tabesaw
acccidents. Being careful operator with an Opps and the careless operator.
Both need the protection.
Having reread the SawStop web site, I am very concerned about a third kind
of trigger. If SawStop works by sensing a electrcal signal, what happens if
someone is using a motor with worn brushes in the area or an arc welder? I
know (hope) it's been tested for this but you can't test for everything.
