I was going to go there, ;~) but out of the 350 million "maybe" only 250

hurt considering the size of the pool of woodworking tradesmen.


But out of the 250M, only a small fraction actually use a tablesaw...

I _STILL_ think it's too high...


I'm wondering if they're including circular saw injuries in the
numbers - the contractor who replaced my windows last year cut off
one of his fingers a few days prior to my job. Typical case - he
was holding a board in one hand and the saw in another (and he wasn't
a youngster, either, and he even knew better).
