Default Anybody actually seen this new safety device?

Todd Fatheree responds:


Well you can *order* one, or at least get on a list. It seems as though
it's been a couple of years now that you could *order* one. To my
knowledge, none have been delivered to the public. Per the definition you
cite, it certainly appears to be vaporware. It's been discussed in this
newsgroup now since 2000. It makes one wonder why it hasn't gone to market
yet. If you want to say it isn't ready, then fine, but why take preorders
for two years? Doesn't seem to be the way to make people happy by putting
them on a 2 or 3 or forever year waiting list.


Yes. They're still taking only pre-orders. I first saw this thing at the 2000
IWWF. They started taking pre-orders at the next IWWF, if memory serves. That
was almost two years ago, now. It seems just a little bit like the boy who
cried wolf, doesn't it?

And I would very much like to know where they get the figure of 30,000 injuries
on table saws.
