If your drunk well go head and use this saw.. its idiot proof.

That's actually really cool! :Q

I can see that becomming standard equipment on all types of bladed power equipment...

All this modern technology, and Twista STILL can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're."

Mr English Teacher. I don't see anyone else having a problem with the spell i have it. Im sorry.

 

[halik]

damn really clever technology

 

[tnitsuj]

1. They need to test it on convicts.

2. Another piece of expensive "saftey" equipment tacked onto things that work just fine to begin with (like ABS) that will increase repair costs down the line. Damn, I miss big RWD body on frame cars.

too bad this saw still wont help meat cutter...after workign in a grocery store i seen what those machines can do...not a pretty site.

this can be very problematic.

I don't know about you, but I'd be using scissors for that, not a table saw.

Wow how great would this be in High School Wood shops around the world.

Read the first post - unless the wood you're cutting somehow have inherent electrical capacitance, the saw will not stop cutting.

will it work with any old blade? carbide, diffrent tooth counts etc.

and to the person that said what about gloves. if your wearing gloves while using a power tool of this nature darwin deserves your fingers more than you.

Too bad it's only available for the table saw. I would be the first to buy one for a router and/or a joiner (for my grandfather that is). He has lost 3 fingers and a thumb to the router, 2 fingers and a thumb to the joiner, but none to a table saw. I think 80% of his hands are from his ass cheeks from all of the skin graphs :Q. Luckily, in the four years I worked with him, I didn't lose a single part of my body.

Yup ... what he said.
Never wear gloves around power woodworking machinery. What might have been just a nick without gloves could end up tearing your hand apart when the tool catches the glove and pulls your hand into it. Plus, you have a better inherent feel for where your bare fingers are compared to the extent of the gloves.

Anyway, interesting idea. I'd like to see some long term reliability data.

damn!!

zombie slayers would be out of luck if this technology went to chainsaws!!!!

Actually, the site shows demos on a bandsaw & chop saw. And the FAQ says its adaptable to things like routers, shapers, etc.

Uhmm ... WTF?! Maybe your grandpa should consider a new hobby. Most woodworkers work all their life without ever having an accident that serious, much less 2.

 

[OutHouse]

notice the gash in the dudes fingernail. i wonder if that was from a failed self-test....

 

[MattCo]

Couldn't they test it on a few cadavers to solve the questions of hotdog vs. finger (or bruce vs. a soda for that matter).

:Q I'm glad he wasn't a test pilot!!

"capacitance" doesn't mean "soft"

Actually, he was a team leader in his engineering department at McDonnell Douglas. Also, he was a helicopter pilot in Korea and certified to fly F-18s for McDonnell. That's what is scary .

He is one of those engineer types with more brains than common sense.

What's new about this? My first wife was like that years ago

Pretty neat idea.
