this tech has been on the market for decades

  Sorry should have been more concise. If I buy one now, I pay $150 for a cheap saw without the tech. I can of course buy a saw-stop for $1000 right now. If I wait a year or so, this legislation would probably allow me to get a saw-stop capable saw for $450ish, but it's a gamble, because they COULD be over $1000. We don't know.

    Maybe think about going with the cheap table saw and spending the remainder of the money to get a nice track saw. Of course, there are some things that you really do need a table saw for, but track saws are amazing and inherently safer in comparison to a table saw. Particularly for sheet goods, I’ll never use anything but a track saw at this point.

      This has been my particular position for a long time now. We don't need safer table saws. If you want a safe table saw, just use a different type of saw.
