I agree with some posters, that the issue here is whether to make such a device mandatory or not. I, for one, hate mandatory things (most of the time).

This is much like chain brakes that were developed for chain saws. In many models they are required, and in fcat they are a darned good thing to have. Certain high-end professional saws are exempted, but the people using them are usually quite experienced.

Would I retrofit this device onto my table saw? Probably not. Is it worth the money? Absolutely.

The bottom line is taht if it costs $25 million per year and saves just a single damned finger, it's worth it. Especially if that's MY finger there.

But, give me the choice.
