@HowardA thank you for saying it. Our Tort laws need to change, stupidity seems to be an income now a days (Along with your own dull life on a reality TV show).

It truly saddens me that individuals seem to have lost respect for tools and general objects around them, almost like the subconscious is saying, "If I get hurt I don't have to work anymore". Those of us that make a living doing this are going to be hurt terribly I fear. Not to mention most building industries. I don't want to have to replace tools cause of insurance premiums.

I've actually been in the market for a new table saw and as much as I love the concept of the SawStop, I worked with technology for almost 15-years before getting fed up with it, and I have to say I don't want it between me and the business end of a very important tool. Don't get me wrong it's a great idea but I fear over time a failure could cost me a lot of money in both time and parts. Besides who wants to have to download an update for a power tool? Next they will have a monotoned woman barking directions at me cause I'm feeding the board to fast/slow/whatever.

It's kinda like an automobile, some people just shouldn't have one.
