  • I’m fine with commercial job requirements for the stops, but against having to have one on my personal table saw. It’s not like it’s just an extra couple of dollars to have the saw stop, plus the cost of a new blade and brake if it does lockdown and stop it. The system isn’t foolproof in that it only stops skin from getting cut. I could cut a piece of moist wood and it could stop. Actually, I could see that being an issue for a lot of commercial job sites. Sometimes the wood you’re cutting is going to have some rain on it.













  • I’m not sure where you live, but you underestimate the amount of people who can shoot a rifle. Also, while you can zero a hunting rifle at 100 yards, most bullets haven’t apexed yet at 100, so the bullet will continue to raise up a bit before starting to drop.

    All mostly irrelevant because the first 250 yards of almost any ammo is like 3 inches from its highest to lowest point.

    Basically, if you’re shooting less than 250 yards and your rifle is zeroed out anywhere from 50 to 200 yards, no matter what anything else is, if you put the cross hairs directly over the target that’s 200 yards out you’re going to be within 3" of your mark. When aiming at anything under 300 yards that’s larger than a coyote you don’t really have to worry about windage (unless it’s very windy) or bullet drop or leading the target or anything. Target in cross hairs and fire is all that’s required. I could get a complete novice to hit a melon at 200 yards in less than 10 minutes time so long as they don’t flinch while pulling the trigger.
