Maybe I'm missing something but I took the words "depth of cut" to be the depth of
cut on the surrogate finger before the blade stops. 3.5mm is only 0.138". That's not
even a tooth above the table.

It is; Leon's just funnin' ...

And, of course, it's the retraction of the blade that stops the injury
progression, it doesn't stop until it hits the brake (which on SS is
just a chunk of pretty soft Al that the teeth gouge into.


Yeah, I either meant "before the blade retracts" or "before the blade stops cutting".

I don't remember which. :-)
