Some years ago, the federal government, in its infinite wisdom, and
all the while thinking of the children, mandated that washing
machines come to a complete stop in just a few seconds (like three).

It shouldn't be hard to transfer that technology to table saws.


Sawstop

Nah - don't need sawstop for this need Leon. A simple brake is all that
is necessary. With all of the chop saws that come with brakes today, it
really should be no big deal for a table saw to have the same capability -
it's been around forever.

Granted but the reason to stop the blade is for safety and that technology
is already around on several levels of effectiveness.
