It is estimated that this would cost about $200 per saw to upgrade. Imagine a good Grizzly 0690 table saw, now up from $1250 to $1450, built with Saw Stop technology. It would be the biggest selling saw in history. In the US we have 32,000 table saw accidents a year, not including professional or work related accidents. This includes about 3,000 amputations. No other piece of machinery sold to the general public is allowed to have such a rate.

Based on a few accidents and no deaths, Toyota recalled most of their vehicles and was fined millions of dollars to fix a gas peddle. Perhaps table saw companies should be held to the same standards.
