I like the part in the petition where they state that the average
consumer does not have enough information to make an informed choice,
but the CPSC does have enough information. If they truly believed
that, they could publish the information to the general public to help
educate them, and then see if their product is purchased. This could
be accomplished by including an information pamphlet with each saw
instead of the complete system already installed.

It sounds like they just do not believe in the marketability of their
own product enough to use fair market practices.

Saw stop is petitioning to have their device legislated as mandatory
equipment on all table saws sold in the US. When the device first came out I
was behind them 100% but I have no tolerance for this type of "marketing"
and as such have removed my support from them. If you want more info, the
actual petition is on Sawstop's own web site and you can draw their own
conclusions.

Good luck

Everyone should send them a polite email telling them that you do not

private citizens. Maybe a few thousand emails will help educate them.
