Every year approximately 40,000 people are injured by a table saw. In fact, of these injuries 10% of these injuries leads to amputations. That is 4,000 each year who need an amputation from a serious injury from a table saw. Although the SawStop technology, which stops the saw when it comes in contact with flesh, has been around for more than a decade many manufacturers have not adopted this safety feature. Indeed, some of the largest tool manufacturers have even rejected it completely. Many of these companies are now confronted with thousands of lawsuits.
