Re: New Study Discusses Tablesaw Injuries

If you look carefully at the statistics, these injuries were recorded in Emergency Rooms between the years of 1990 and 2007. If you remember this time period this was BEFORE the ANSI standard of a riving knife behind the blade.

I had spent 4 years working in an Emergency Room during the years of 1970-1974. This was BEFORE Air Bags, Collapsing Steering Columns, Safety Glass for front windshield. What I am saying is that there is always improvements in the "safety technology". Automotive Industry or Machine Guarding, I don't care. Tecnology "must" improve the safety of table saws.

I would also like to ask these same Emergency Room workers which has more hazards. A "TABLE SAW" or driving drunk, or slightly under the "legal" limit. I have seen many DEATHS from drunken driving. Do you want me to talk about Motorcycle riding without a "safety" helmet and the death rates....

Re: Printing to Scale

This is NOT to scale.

What if I wanted to know the "overall" size of this project and show it to my "wife" for approval. Or customer for approval.

This I think is one of the weaknesses of Sketchup. From what I read in the help menu, a "true" scaled drawing requires the user to step up to Sketchup Pro for $ 500.00

This uses some program called "Layout".

Can you comment on Sketchup Pro ?

Thank You,
