Check This Out! Safe Table Saw!
Found this today!
Check it out! $60 bucks a pop every time the blade catches. Wonder what it would do with wet lumber? http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...ient=mv-google

That's been around for a couple years. They've done the Hot Dog test before but I'm impressed that he did his finger. I was expecting him to touch the side of the blade (where no teeth were) but after considering that the kerf on the teeth is wider than the blade body, he probably would have gotten cut if he did, as opposed to where he did touch it.
Gotta admit... Technology is COOL! At $60.00 a pop, it's well worth it. Imagine how much it costs to sew a finger back on!

Thats pretty cool, I use to work around saws a whole lot and still do a little bit, but I haven't ever seen that before.

The show "Time Warp" on The Discovery Channel had this guy on with the saw. Shooting with a 10,000 frame/sec camera, he stuck his finger into the blade. You could see a little skin come off his finger, but no cut and no blood. Takes some BIG B@LL$ to do that!

I'd heard about this a year or so back, but I'd never seen it. Not sure I was happy to see it just before dinner either. Table saws are the tool I actually "fear". I have one, and I use it with a TON of respect.
I wonder what would have happened if he moved his finger rapidly into the blade? I suspect there would have been a bit more damage. Still, I absolutely agree with Bill, $60.00 is cheap if it saves a finger (or worse). - Jack

Speaking from experience, usually when you get cut with anything it feels like a burn or numbness. Until you look at it and say xxxxxxxxxxxx!
