I do not believe that the Saw Stop safety feature should be required. A woodworker should not rely on a table saw's safety feature, but the woodworker needs to rely on good, safe use of the table saw. This is my goal when I use any power equipment. John http://WhiteCane.org

While I do believe that there is a place in woodworking for the Saw Stop, I don't believe that it should be a requirement or law. I'm sure that some rehabilitation centers might push clients toward it. However, there should be room for the client to know his limitations and make up his/her own

As a friend wrote in private email: the bathroom isn't far away, nor is the coffee pot. I have a big front yard and it's where I'll be trying the tent deal to start. That's why I wanted a warning system that I could assemble as a blind person to alert me to anyone getting funny. Not interested

Hi Spiro, I think that many of us have a difficult time in imagining the danger you perceive. Of course just because I am paranoid doesn't mean I am not safe but what would the motivation be to molest you in your tent? I don't think it is a blindness issue, blind or not one sleeps. Running

The problem I see with allowing the technology to become a requirement is it won't be long and some idiot will have stuck his hand into a band saw or a planer and they'll think everyone needs some kind of instant stop on every machine. Clint Eastwood said it best. A man's got to know his

Ok, my point is that you can not allow for everything. I am not trying to say you are paranoid. Can they really see into your back yard? Are you worried about someone coming through the fence into your back yard in an accident? I think if you think it is a safe place back their in the

Is the front yard larger than the back yard? Most back yards aren't visible from the street and it would seem at least a little safer there. Out of sight out of mind and all. - Original Message - From: Spiro To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2010 5:46 PM

The report that started all of this claimed that four out of five table saw accidents were caused by contact with the blade. Less than one out of five injuries were due to kick-back. So, the Saw Stop would prevent the rather large majority of these injuries. The SawStop will not prevent

Aloha Spiro, You can buy driveway alarms that will cover upto 300 or 400 feet. If you bought two of them you could cover the area and an alarm would sound inside the tent. They run on batteries and my friend says the batteries last a long time. I think you can get them somewhere like Radio
