In addition, how fast was he moving his finger into the blade? Or the
frank? I still consider this technology worthwhile for my next saw, but
I'd like to know how much damage to the frank if it moves at the speed I
would use for 1/2" pine.
There's a video out there that shows that very thing. I don't care
enough to look it up, though. :-)
When I saw that original show on Discovery Channel, I contacted SawStop
and asked if they had a video showing a hot dog moving into the blade at
the speed of a hand slipping into the blade. They directed me to
something, somewhere that showed it at that speed, and it definitely
nicked the skin and drew some blood.
Consider the alternative.
Wow, we keep reviving this horse, killing it again, and beating it some
more. :-)
