Boy, that would have saved my good friend around 30 surgeries and all the other stuff. He ran his hand through a saw and cut it hand about a inch behind his knuckles from his pinky all the way to his thumb.
We have one in our shop where I work. We all gathered around and watched as a guy stuck a hotdog into the blade. IT FREAKIN WORKED! Our company had to buy a $70 aluminum stop and a new blade. It really tore the blade up. Pretty cool.

LAST EDITED ON Jun-25-10 AT 06:50AM (MST)[p]I have been a hobby woodworker for years, and as a result I have also been the recipient of quite a few stitches from three encounters with a whirling table saw blade. Although I cut one to the bone, I've fortunately never lost any fingers.
In reality, that gadget would bea money saver at $70 a pop compared to what a trip to the emergency room now costs. And of course, that says nothing about a guy keeping all his fingers intact.
