firmware and lawsuits

the perception of the danger of tables saws the statistics of tables saw

seems to lead to the conclusion that they are on the way out fewer and
fewer people want to use them

i will always have one i think but

cnc is moving pretty fast and now there are other technologies like
water jets and ultrasonic cutting


how long until table saws just stop becoming an integral part of the

i give it 15 years or less as cnc moves into the affordable range due to
market saturation and more used machines and cad and cam allowing for
more streamlined manufacturing of the parts for cnc


consolidation will be first and we see that already then there will be
fewer models available then there will be fewer brands then it will
become a niche then the prices will rise then alternatives will look
even better
