I understood you to say that you don't care if Trump stacks the <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/CPSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPSC</a> with his hacks & renders it useless because you think people can just somehow know intuitively who the good guys & products are. "Let the market do its work" is both the epitome of laissez faire & ignorant of the long, ignoble history of the dangers of assuming pursuit of the profit motive always results in benign outcomes.

No such claim's been made.<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/CPSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPSC</a>'s an independent agency of the Federal govt that ensures products we buy are safe, issues recalls when they aren't.Mfrs & retailers may be happy to see 1st steps being taken to emasculate it, but <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Consumers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Consumers</a> should quake in their boots. <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/nx-s1-5393374/trump-consumer-product-safety-commission-cpsc-firing" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.npr.org/2025/05/09/nx-s1-5393374/trump-consumer-product-safety-commission-cpsc-firing</a>

SirBoostALotAll I can say is that if the Consumer Product Safety Commission goes along with this and the current high prices are maintained, people (specifically home woodwookers) will just improvise their own home-built table saws, either by modifying portable circular saws or by buiding table saws using standard electric motors salvaged from old appliances, furnaces, etc. I know this is possible because my dad built one using (I think) an old washing machine motor, and he used it to saw all the lumber he used to build his garage. Was it safe by today's standards? No way, but it did work and somehow he managed to not lose any fingers.Home-built units will be even less safe that the currently available commercial models, but they will be affordable for people who are not in the construction trades, and they are really not that hard to build. Clearly nobody seems to have really considered the unintended consequences of this potential regulation.Another alternative will be just using portable circular saws (with or without rip fences) which also aren't quite as safe but are very affordable, plus they tend to show up at yard sales. And I will be shocked if no videos appear showing circular saw to table saw conversions.Don't get me wrong, the safe table saw is a great idea, and I would love to see this safety feature on every table saw if it is reasonably priced (adding not more than a few dollars to the cost above where current models are priced), but not if it means obscene profits for a single company that may be price gouging if the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/CPSC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CPSC</a> allows it. Experienced builders are probably going to hate them anyway, because they may falsely trigger on lumber that is a little too "green" (ever seen how wet some pressure-treated lumber is right after you buy it?) and my understanding is that when the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#safety</a> mechanism is triggered it totally destroys the saw blade. Which is a small price to pay to save fingers, but if it turns out that it false triggers a lot then people will just find a way to disable the safety mechanism (to avoid having to continually buy and change out saw blades), defeating the whole purpose.How much would you pay to make sure you never sawed off a finger? <a href="https://www.theage.com.au/world/north-america/how-much-would-you-pay-to-make-sure-you-never-sawed-off-a-finger-20240331-p5fgdd.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theage.com.au/world/north-america/how-much-would-you-pay-to-make-sure-you-never-sawed-off-a-finger-20240331-p5fgdd.html</a><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/ProductSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ProductSafety</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/regulation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#regulation</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/patent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#patent</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/ConsumerSafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConsumerSafety</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/GovernmentPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GovernmentPolicy</a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/GovernmentOverreach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GovernmentOverreach</a>
