WANNA' KEEP THOSE FINGERS?

An Oregon inventor has come up with a new kind of table saw for those of us who prefer having 10 fingers.

Woodworker Steve Gass, who also has a doctorate in physics, designed a saw that runs with a small electrical current feeding onto the blade; when the blade touches something that conducts electrical current — such as a finger — the current drops and engages a brake. It also drops the saw below table level. You may bleed, but that digit won't need more than a Band Aid to fix it.

HERE’S the Web page for the gizmo. Check out the video.

Thanks to Johnny B for the heads up.
