advance notice of proposed rulemaking for performance requirements to
address table saw blade contact injuries.

"A. Background
On April 15, 2003, Stephen Gass, David Fanning, and James Fulmer, et al.
(“petitioners”) requested that we require performance standards for a system
to reduce or prevent injuries from contact with the blade of a table saw."

I wonder how much Stephed Gass (SawStop's inventor, BTW) has contributed to
Obama's re-election campaign.


Probably as much as all of the other "inventors" who have coerced the
government into making their devices safety requirements.


For instance?


Al Gore.
