Well, the nice thing about a good table saw is that they never wear out. Mine's 34 in July and will outlive me, so Inez Tenenbaum can .......

I think it would be reasonable to require manufacturers to offer them and let the market decide the value or if it warrants a purchase.

If they would affect insurance rates, why have I never seen a rate adjustment offered by my insurers?

Yes, I've got scars on my hands, but they came from grinders, and I've got no one to blame but myself.

This comment may be more appropriate for Fine Homebuilding, but.....

When I built my current home, I had to frame some very irregular rafter connections. I had a couple of very good journeyman carpenters who were pulling their hair out trying to get the right angles w ithout time consuming custom planing of each joint.

I used plum lines to fix the points on the subfloor and snapped chalk lines. Then I took the angles from those lines to dial in a bevel angle on my 5hp Dewalt RAS. The miter was based on the pitch. The first trial cut was a 53.7º miter and a 32.8º bevel using a 20" carbon tooth blade on a 2x12 board.

The fit was dead on, and the method worked without fail on a total of 56 cuts.
I don't know of any other tool that could have duplicated that performance.
