An acquaintance of mine was a professional carpenter for a theater company. Thoughtful, careful guy. Never in a rush. He of course used a table saw all the time. I asked if he had Sawstop. They were too cheap.

He still has no idea what happened, he simply came to holding the bleeding stumps of his fingers. Surgeons managed to reassemble some functioning digits out of the chunks.

It is my opinion that the government should purchase and "open source" safety patents as they come up, then manufacture replaceable safety parts to sell at cost.
