Sounds like an answer to me although not as definitive as one might want. If
you consider the limited cutter projection type to the limited projection
type of cutter on a router bit, then you've got an answer and it's "yes" a

Yup, it sure could take a big chunk out of your hand or a finger, but all
things being equal, one shouldn't be able to have an entire finger lopped
off, at least not all at once.

As to dados with limited projection cutters, don't know that I've actually
seen one, but they shouldn't be too difficult to manufacture if they aren't
already available.
