I know riving knifes are now required to be **UL Compliant**.
I do not know the significance of this compliancy (perhaps someone can
address this), but it's not hard for me to imagine what the next
requirement of UL Coompliancy could be for table saws.

UL compliance only pertains to newly purchased items. It has nothing
to do
with existing products. As for new compliancy requirments - that's for
new
stuff. When was the last time the UL Police showed up at your house to
inspect and demand an update to your 20 year old toaster or steam iron?

How about THIS Mike. Someone *kills* you for using too many capital
letters. Your wife sells your Tsaw to some clown on Craigslist. He chops
off his arm because your saw is not "UL" compliant and has no guard, no
riving knife, no SS tech.

Of course he sues your widowed wife for $12000000000000 dollars because
of her negligence to have readily available safety crap installed before
selling you the damned beast!!!!!!! He claims he is having trouble
whacking off with one hand, big a dick as he is. Your widow refuses to
give him a hand, ergo the large $suit.

He wins, hand down...

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

And that example is exactly why the government is going to end up taking
care of people that make those kind of comments.
You make a pretty good defense for SawStop.

If I can save one finger, it will all be worth it...
