This is in service of repealing rules that would mandate a feature on table saws that prevent you from losing your fingers, by the way.

    The whole Sawstop patent thing around this has been weird, and I don't claim to understand the nuances around that, but it's a genuinely amazing technology that would be great to spread around. They are expensive but if the patent wasn't an issue surely they'd be less so.

    It’s amazing what we’re able to sew/glue/magic back together, but it’s never the same after.

    It can’t be, because the kerf of the blade (the amount of material the blade chews rather than cuts).
