> Amazed at the amount of people here who would clearly be against seatbelts if they were to be made a legal requirement today

Woodworker here. The equivalent SawStop to my basic table saw is 3X the price.

Your analogy wouldn’t make sense unless seatbelts tripled the price of cars.

SawStop has a huge patent portfolio and they’ve been cagey about actually letting other people use the full system. This is more of a regulatory capture play, not a safety play with consumers in mind.
