Safety Standard Addressing Blade-Contact Injuries on Table Saws
On October 11, 2011, the Commission started a rulemaking with an
advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPR).\1\ On May 12, 2017, the
Commission published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) under the
Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) proposing to establish a performance
standard that requires table saws to limit the depth of cut to no more
than 3.5 mm when a test probe, acting as surrogate for a human finger
or other body part, approaches the spinning blade at a rate of 1 meter
per second (m/s).\2\ Subsequentially, on November 1, 2023, the
Commission published a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.\3\
