Yes, it is expensive to set it off. Cartridge and blade.

You guys are wise. IMO, only a fool, with a single employee who's
job description included operating a table saw, would not have a

Cheap at fifty times the price ...

Let's see, one guy had 7 false one's in a couple of years and one
grill that nicked a fing-ee that likely happened because of
carelessness brought on by lack of respect enabled by the SS.

$100 for a good blade, $80 for the replacement mechanism, times 8,
times 50... $72,000.

I think it would be close to "not cheap" at fifty times the price,
at least I know no one that would own or use a tsaw with those sort
of numbers mandated.

As an employer, I'd take your $72k for 8 incidents any day over a
jury award of $1.5 million for each incident ... $12,000,000, or over
1300 times the price.



Ryobi just learned that lesson.

You mean they aren't appealing that decision? That is a crime against
humanity, and an undeserved plum for Gass.

Regardless of the eventual outcome, what has it cost to for defense?
