Doing some more cleaning of the favorites and found this, I might have posted it a while back, but interesting still.

Watch the videos.

 

kinda cool idea but i would not trust it.

 

wow thats impressive

 

wow thats actually brilliant.

HD - i'd trust it with my fingers as much as i trust any saw with my fingers. its there just for that 1 in 1000 accident.

 

I ckecked it out Deej, and we discussed the system here, and it is good engineering. I would trust it, but it is very pricey!

 

if time proves how well it works then companies using that tool might get an insurance discount that'd end up paying for it easily.

they need to make it work on bandsaws also

table saw, band saw, radial arm saw.

 

Saws are never dangerous anyway...just the people that are using them

 

just like guns and bullets

 

I use my dual-purpose table saw to cut most of my meats including snake so it wouldn't be practical.

 

The video about the guy losing his fingers is like a way too serious video for as something as simple as that. They act like its ebola or somehting they are talking about.
