ProTool Reviews and The WoodWhisperer both have some great articles about SawStop, a new rival flesh detecting table saw safety system, and what the Consumer Product Safety Commission can do to help lesson table saw injuries.

It turns out that there are a couple options. One is from Maxus Tools, and the other is from Ridgid.
