Safer Saws-yeezygod21

Manufacturers

• “I found out that table saws cause thousands of these really horrible injuries every year.”

This claim tells us that a regular saw causes severe injuries every year.

• When you cutting wood, the blade carries the electric signal when the finger approaches to the blade the signal is changed because the human body is conductive. The blade will immediately stop.

• “It feel like it buzz or a tickle”

This is factual claim because in the video we see how when the finger is placed near the saw, the saw stops immediately with a slight vibration to the finger or a tickle.

This claim is accurate because when we watch the video we saw the experiment and how the technology works. The technology that was being used was brilliant due to how when the blade encounters with the human body at five thousand rpms energy it stops the module like crumple zone and car. The claim looks convincing because observers can see that this technology is legit product. On the contrary the claim, looks not as deserving because videos tend to be fake occasionally. It perhaps can be a setup where we do believe it can work.

Amputees/Customers

• “Try a $14 thousand bill for a missing finger and tell me how much you hate Mr. Gass.”
• “I lost a finger and half the use of my hand in a table saw accident the cost of a cartridge a new blade is well worth having that safety.”
• “At an average cost of $35,000 each, these accidents lead to more than $2.3 billion in societal costs annually including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.”

This claim is demonstrating of how losing a finger is greater cost than spending another saw blade. The differential value of cost is off the charts.

This claim is factual and opinion because it’s true losing a finger is too costly and medical bill will expensive. You would rather pay $100 extra than paying 20,000-40,000. Adding on, its opinion base to because there can be other saws similar to this technology where it can have no problems at all.

Customers 

• “But as well as the technology works, the major tool companies have failed to put this kind of device on any of their table saws — even eight years after Gass offered to license it to them.”

This claim demonstrates of how companies did not feel as confident to put Grass’ invention on shelves.

This is a factual claim.

We see the brilliancy of Grass’ technology but however the big name companies show signs of disbelief  because it far too great of technology to be worthy of that caliber kind. And trying to sell this product would be hard because consumers would not have a strong belief and uncertainty questions.

 

Steve Gass himself

• Steve Gass creates new saw called SafeStop, a saw reduces serious injuries where the saw stops when a finger is encounter with the saw.
•        Steve Gass experiments to prove that it works by using a hotdog as finger.
• Technology contains electric signal that contradicts with the human body.

This claim is prospal where he introduces his new technology.

Steve Gass proposed this idea and made it into a reality. A saw that decreases horrifying injuries than typical saw. Steve Gass used a hotdog to impersonate a finger to present viewers that the technology is legit. Furthermore, Steve Gass used his own finger to bring more attention to viewers that it this actually works with human finger, not just a hotdog.

Injured Plaintiffs

• “Wec says his permanent and “traumatic injury” could have been prevented if Bosch and its competitors had not rejected and fought against the safety technology.”

This claim shows how the saw can be dangerous in psychological way not just only a physical way.

The claim I feel is opinion based and accurate.

The reason why I feel this claim is opinion base because it can affect only some people in psychological way  instead of just physical. However, this claim can be accurate because this is also concerning of what this type of saw can do. The physical threat is horrifying et enough and now psychological is astonishing.

Personal Injury Lawyers

• “Although SawStop safety technology has been around for more than ten years, not all table saw manufacturers have adopted it.”

This claim specifies of how manufacturers have not experienced the SawStop even more than 10 years.

The claim is factual evaluation.

The claim is subpar it has the fact where it’s been around more than ten years and manufactures have not adopted it. But the question is what is all table saw manufacturers are adopting on if not SawStop. Are the manufacturers are investing their time on traditional saws with physical and psychological risks. And are they ignoring SawStop for a reason where they feel it’s the technology is too good to be true.

Government Officials 

Approximately 42,800 medically attended injuries annually during 2007–2008, rather than the 67,000 estimated in the CPSC ANPR.

This is claim is factual.

This claim is factual because this was case study of how many people were affected. There were a lot of cases that lead to look foward about SaferSaw. Thousands of people were getting hurt on daily basis. The numbers stand out because it similar how a small thing can cause so much havoc and can be debatable such as car accidents and etc of which is more dangerous.

Power Tool Product Reviewers

•  “Sawstop quality control is the best in the business. My Sawstop is superior in materials and build to any Delta or Powermatic I’ve used.”

This claim is to tell us that SawStop is valid saw that can protect people fingers. And seems this technology is worth it. The money is not the issue, its for the safety.

This claim is opinion base.

The claim is opinion base because it states one person saying that the product is marvelous. And it implies directly to him of how he is satisfied with the technology. However, this claim not as strong because its opinion base because others may prefer other saws.
