quote [ It's unclear whether the Consumer Product Safety Commission will finally pass a rule requiring all new saws to have an active injury prevention monitoring system built into them. ]
Guy invents way to stop getting your fingers cut off from a table saw. Nobody adopts the method, so he starts selling it on his own and lobbies for more regulation. Conflict of interest? Sure. But also a pretty smart idea.

I've wanted one of these ever since the guy was shopping the invention around. Unfortunately, even his small job site saws cost about $1000 more than your basic Dewalt or Bosch model. On the higher end pro gear, though, the prices are more competitive, adding only a few hundred dollars to the bill.
My saw is a nice chunk of cast iron from the 50s. I'd love to buy a Sawstop retrofit unit for it.
