Just saw this on live leak.. a new table saw that will stop if a body part comes into contact with the blade.

At least now I know my wiener will be safe around this saw!

Did see the saw a few episodes ago on "Ask This Old House", pretty cool technology.

Wow - I have 2 very good friends that this would have stopped debilitating injuries. That is an amazing improvement.

That is pretty cool!

-edit-

Being curious I found the price of that saw. $2800 bucks without any options! Though..if it saves your finger that is a small price to pay. I just didn't expect it to cost nearly that much. Obviously it's targeted at the wood working industry and not the typical home owner.

Have the cost partly subsidized by your Health Care Insurance!
