Anybody get the idea we've beat this topic to death?

Did anyone change their opinion?

We've all had a good rant, how about moving on?

Worked for me.

It's called a killfile, Larry. Why not use one rather than start
ANOTHER freaking thread about the SawStop?

There are many good, logical, and heartfelt reasons for both sides of the
argument. By my last count, there were 63 opposed and 48 in favor. As soon
as I finish the tabulation, I'll post the summaries here so we can winnow
out the good from the merely preferable.

Participation will be encouraged.

If you would have been using a SprayStop MonitorT, that tragedy could have
been avoided.

Guess you should have invested in a MonitorSprayStop. Now it's too
late and you're going to suffer for life with this embarrassment.

Then we can start on the Radial Arm saws and whether they need SawStop?

Oh, they should be banned outright. It's for the children!

Not to worry.

Radial arms saws have already been demonized. They are politically
incorrect. Anybody who uses them or admits liking them is immediately
publically shamed and ridiculed.

I have one, but it hasn't been used in at least 18 years. I just got the
"safety kit" for it, so I'll probably put it back together some time in the
next 20. ;-)

I cut myself with one once.

I had to laugh at that.
The only shop injury I've ever incurred was when I was cutting a plastic
panel (with a "box knife") to install in a skylight.
Put a nasty gash in my thumb. That was 25 years ago. And under the
influence of 3 Michelobs.

I was finishing up a custom snap-in grid for a Pella patio door, the
photographer set to arrive the next morning to take pictures for a
contest entry the next morning, and about 3am I filleted my thumb with
a razor knife. "Oh ****", says I, and slapped a strip of paper towel
and some masking tape on it, and finished the job. Didn't get any
ligaments, but I still have a semi-numb area on the back of my thumb.

I wish I healed now as quickly as I did then.

I think the thing that really made me think of the box knife was a
neighbor from years ago. He was a foreman, and part owner, of an up
and coming small business in the Wichita area. He was cutting some
stock with a box knife and straight-edge and it slipped and nearly cut
his thumb off. He had surgery and ran around in a brace and sling for
weeks and finally got all of the apparatus taken off.

A week later - repeat performance.

This time the company president told him sharp instruments were off-
limits for him if he wanted to continue to be a partner. Their
insurance rates wouldn't tolerate any more.

I did nick myself pretty good with a box knife years ago; but every
time I get lined up to do a deep cut I think of Randy. He has
probably save dme from injury more times than he can imagine.

What about paper? Millions of people are scarred for life from paper
cuts each year. And don't get me started on DHMO...

I don't have any scars or numbness but I have a vivid memory of the event
that gives me flashbacks every time I pick up a razor knife.
