Table Saw Blade Contact Injuries: Request for Comments and Information

7 organizations filed 7 public comments on Table Saw Blade Contact Injuries: Request for Comments and Information, at the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The comment window closed 908d ago.

Abstract

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has determined preliminarily that there may be an unreasonable risk of blade-contact injuries associated with table saws. The Commission proposes a rule under the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) that would establish a performance standard that requires table saws to limit the depth of cut to no more than 3.5 millimeters when a test probe approaches the spinning blade at a rate of 1 meter per second (m/s). The Commission is providing an opportunity for interested parties to present comments on this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.
