I liken it to using "Space Age Technology" which was cool in the late 60's and early 70's but was meaningless and sad much after that. There is nothing smart about the conventional headstock and tacking the term on to 70+ year old technology is just inviting ridicule. It isn't as annoying ...

I knew I had seen that design somewhere but couldn't find it in any of my books or plans and it was right on the shelf behind me the whole time. You did a beautiful job with it. Now you can use it for some well deserved rest.

Mine don't have the little feet at the trailing edge to ...

Sawstop did say they would license necessary patents on FRAND basis if the rule were to pass. Can you provide a reference for that one? There are several comments in the proposed rule document that seem to conflict with it. Perhaps the offer was made in or near 2003 when SawStop petitioned for the ...

There isn't a requirement that the blade below the table if it can be stopped quickly enough with a brake.
