For me the issue would be the cost of adding SawStop technology to todays saws.

From what I read SawStop wanted a low commission rate initially from Ryobi and then would increase it as soon as the technology was popular (>25% penetration).

That approach tells me this is more about profit than safety.

Surely as a technology becomes more mainstream the cost REDUCES ?

I am all in favour of safer and better products and would love to be able to afford SawStop....look at that iTunes did for music - make it cheaper and more people buy !!

Rather than legislate for change, make the technology affordable (Mr Gass - this means you), and insurers offer better premiums to encourage adoption of the technology.

Let's stop for a moment and talk about...Shop Safety :-)

I always think of Norm whenever we discuss safety in the workshop. Thanks for that !!

They look like an Air Hockey Puck but I'm sure I'll find a home for them in my workshop :-) Thanks in advance Rockler & FWW !!
