The SawStop is a table saw that cuts wood like any other, but as soon as the blade detects that you are about to cut off your finger, it autmatically retracts in under 5 milliseconds leaving you with a mere nick. Outstanding! Check out the cool "hot-dog" experiment at www.sawstop.com. You can also hear from recent users who can still count to ten on their fingers thanks to this new technology.
