I just saw the "hotdog" video; I think you could put that thing in a nursery.

What if you WANT to cut hot dogs on your table saw?

Better yet. Imagine the person who kills off his/her spouce then figures to cut them up into little peices to dispose of them.

Hmmm might make a rather amusing dark movie

I don't mean to hijack a hijacked thread, but I saw this thing on TV last night that is almost as cool as a tablesaw that won't eat hotdogs-and it's a hell of a lot cheaper too..

oh hell ya.  a wood printer!!!

This sure looks like a safe saw. I have been cabinet making for a long time. I was a machinist for 20 years also. I learned to never take my eyes off of the tool.

My table saw, cost me $150 or so and the fence wasn't even straight. I have to set it up each cut. I don't rip wood very often but I made several sets of featherboards and several different designs of push sticks. My fingers never get close to the blade and if for some reason I feel distracted I just don't use the table saw, period.

For crosscuts I made some boxes, for want of a better term, that I place the wood in and can either clamp it in place or hold against a stop. Again, my hands never get close to the blade.

All it takes is proper planning and full attention to what you are doing.  A lot of "professionals" get sloppy and create their own "accidents". I know, I have worked around some of those so called pros.

Full attention to what you are doing and proper planning will keep you safe on just about any table saw.

I'm missing something here JB, I don't know what your comment was about my post. The picture didn't tell me anything.

Mark, you don't need me to tell you, but you are smart to use a strict regimen that you don't vary.  everybody around equipment that can maim them in a split second's innattention need to do this.

i once taught a sculpture course at university in arizona. (grad student)

one of the requirements of the course was a proficiency with all of the basic tools in the shop.

i had 17 students.  

having to be responsible for teaching them, and then watching over them as they all worked on them independently was slightly nerwracking to say the least.  especially where the table saw was concerned.
