SawStop on Colbert Report!

sawstop on colbertSteve Gass and SawStop were featured on last night's Colbert Report (2/13/12)!!   He's ruining America, says Colbert's character by depriving us of our right to sacrifice our own fingers from those who would baby us by requiring SawStop technology.
HERE is the link and other good stuff from FineWoodworking

There is a ton of material - including links to the first plaintiff's verdict - upheld by the 1st Circuit, CPSC materials, and the famous hot dog video HERE
Steve Gass: "Steve Gass has a Ph.D. in physics and a dangerous hobby. An amateur woodworker, Gass cuts wood with table saws that spin almost 70 times a second. The saws' sharp, quickly spinning blades can chop off a finger; in fact, over 3,000 people a year lose fingers to table saws. One day in his workshop, Gass looked at his saw and wondered how quickly he could stop the blade in the event of accidental contact."
