Despite Proven Technology, Attempts To Make Table Saws Safer Drag On

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 actually read a review online that had pictures where a guy was brave enough to touch the saw with his hand. He did it for both systems, twice each, and escaped with very minor scratches in all four cases. The Sawstop system worked slightly better (scratches were less severe), but both functioned as designed.
