Any woodworkers, you got to have this
« on: January 16, 2007, 03:28:57 PM »
I enjoy woodworking, but I've got a powerful paranoia about loosing a finger or three with my table saw.  Then I saw this product.  I got to have one of these!  At $2799.00, it's pricy, but I've seen other table saws that topped $2K that didn't have this one's safety features.  Watch the "hotdog" video...it sold me.  Now I just have to figure out where to put one of these.  My other table saw is on wheels and fits under the workbench.

Mine was about $250 and I made a featherboard... I'll do the same for you for only $1500.

that is absolutely amazing!  I had a cliche shop teacher that was missing some fingers... i'm betting he wishes he had one of these back in the day.

Amazing
 
 
I think we are about to bear witness to what is going to become an OSHA standard regulation for table saws in the workplace.


Several years ago my sister while helping her husband cut wainscoting for their bathroom slipped and had her pinky sliced up and her ring, middle and index finger cut off on her left hand.
the docs were able to  repair the pinky and reattach the middle and index fingers but she lost her ring finger at the knuckle.

Course there was no mercy from me. First thig I said to her when I went down to see here was "Hiya stumpy"

And whewn one of her neibors stopped by to see is she needed anything from the store I just had to chime in "Yea, she mentioned she wouldnt mind having a package of lady fingers" LOL

Now before any of the oversensitive types get their panties in a bunch

Thats just the way our family is.
Unless someone actually died
Take it in stride and make fun of it.
She took no offence and laughed as well as she knew damn well she would have said the exact same thing to me.

Hell if she was upset at anything it was that I beat her to the punch with that comment.

My sister had a double mastectomy last year. First thing I said to her was "no one will notice", she laughed.
