Tim, Thanks for posting this. The link to the Federal Register (here) lays out all the information pretty well. I wonder how many will actually read it before commenting? -Jack

Thanks for posting this information. This could have a big impact on all of us with tablesaws in the short term and every other power tool we use in the long term.

I would like to say as Mrs Gump put it- stupid is as stupid does. We don’t need no regulations on the use of a table saw or a big orange warning label on it or a lobby from Sawstop pushing legislation requiring a Sawstop on every new table saw. Better to send all the unsafe people to table saw school or make the user responsible and liable if they get hurt while working unsafely.

Agree TOTALLY with Jim!! This IS Sawstop pushing from behind. Once they (Gov’t Agency) get their “Hooks” into the Table Saw, what’s next? Chisels, Hammers, Hand Saws, Chop Saws, Drills, Routers, and on and on.

The only “Tool” I’ve ever drawn blood with is a Retractable Razor Knife and that was just carelessness on my part.

I’ll be going thereand leaving my comments For Sure!!

Thanks for thr Post Tim.

Tim:

I just Read and Posted. The “Petitioner” IS Saw Stop.

I used up all but 125 Characters in the Submission and had to “Renew” my time Twice ..LOL…

It took a LONG TIME for them to “Save” it. I was beginning to think I’d get some kind of an “Unable To Save” thing but it went okay and I now have a Tracking Number for future reference or access to.
