Big Brother is Coming to Your Shop

[calabrese55]

Government regulation will change woodworking forever from your garage to the largest users of table saws.
I am not taking any shots at SAWSTOP if you like one buy one but soon big brother will make you buy a SawStop or something just like it . This video hit YouTube less than one hour ago.

Thanks Mike. It's been rumored since late last year to early this year.

 

There's been some ongoing discussion here since ~late January.

Haven't seen this one yet. Surprised I hadn't received a notification for this one I'll take a look at what James has to say on the topic. I rarely miss one of his videos.

Watched James take on it Mike. As always, a good, common sense, insightful video. Thanks for the post.

BTW, it showed up in my notifications finally. Must have been delayed as my tablet was going through some updates. I had to restart several times to get everything working again.

Hi Dave Literally the video was tagged at 20 minutes ago when I stumbled on to it late yesterday afternoon. 

As far as Stumpy Nubs Videos  ( James Hamilton)I think they are some of the most sincere and fact based vids I have ever seen. I am not into hero worship by any measure but I appreciate any information that I feel is not salted with some sort of polarization , Stumpy Nubs INHO manages this balance very well !

He might find mine but, I wouldn't let him in!! 

We pay his salary so, we should be able to fire him....and all his kin.

Y'all just gonna have to go to "hand tools".

On a more serious note, Stumpy closed out with, "USE YOUR TABLE SAW GUARDS!". I couldn't agree more. If we all used them religiously, we wouldn't be where we are at with all of this government over reach, because statistically that 40 thousand injury per year statistic wouldn't exist, if we all just use our guards, and there would be no market for a flesh sensing technology. So in a roundabout way, we are responsible for what is happening now.

I'd be curious to see the actual statistics regarding the 40k/year injuries. Just wondering if "table saw" is mingled in with circular saw, band saw or??? injuries. Assuming most ER clerks don't know the difference. Just my opinion.

Hmmm..I kind of prefer the "old" Saw stop...

Plus, you get a Cardio Workout to boot...

Lumber is Ash..had two more boards to cut for length...

I’m trying to corner the market on used tables saws in New England right now. I figger I’ll hang out on the street corners outside the local Woodcraft, and Rockler stores.
