significant (which is a number that could be debated) reduction in
accidents
it should probably be considered.

No rumor. SawStop filed a petition with the Consumer Product Safety
Commission
requesting that automatic-stop technology be required on all table saws.
It's
been cussed and discussed to death on this ng at least twice in the last
year
or so. DAGS and you'll see what I mean.


ya i know its been discussed here to death.... but that doesnt mean
everything said here is true. there are clearly some people in this group
that seem to be against sawstop to the point of hatred. and the key to what
i said before is 'trying hard'. for all i know they filed a petition two
years ago, it died, and so did that idea. i wouldnt call that trying hard.
or maybe they have hostages and intend on making it happen tomorrow. now
that would be trying!
