A circular saw can easily ruin a piece of work if your not careful, and it could even chop off your hand. We don't tell carpenters that they shouldn't use saws

A circular saw can easily ruin a piece of work if your not careful, and it could even chop off your hand. We don't tell carpenters that they shouldn't use saws because they are dangerous. There are lots of jobs that are work with dangerous tools.

"Gross negligence" seems like a huge understatement for all the rationalizing and lobbying manufacturers did to avoid having to use safety technology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SawStop#Opposition_from_trade_group_(2008) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SawStop#Opposition_from_trade_...
