A Saw that stops the second it feels a finger

dont knock it till you try it

I wouldn't truss it.

My sister is a shop teacher...this may be her one hope to make it to retirement with all her fingers.

I wouldn't trust it either, but I'd sell it.

I can see alot of companies grinning as they now have a reason to bring down insurance costs

thats amazing

slick design and product .. should win an invention of the year for what it can and more than likely will save finger wise ..

is that like the solar powered flashlight?

I wanna see the person to volunteer to test it out for real

that isnt a finger though, it is a hot dog ;)

i want to see a video with someone using their finger, then i might beleive it actually works ;)

That is BADASS

Using a real finger would be cool, and greatly help in viral marketing - many people would share such a video around.

Or like the sodering iron that won't burn you? :1orglaugh

I don't know the name of it, nor really want to search for it, but when I was young I had a toy saw that cut real wood, but would not cut fingers. The idea goes way back, this is certainly different but in theory much the same.

Okay that is fucked up. Here Johnny.. go ahead and saw the table in half.... just yell if the saw breaks and you lob off a finger mmkay?

That work's pretty well, and it stops when it feels a Finger :winkwink:

using a circulating saw is more exciting when you think you can still cut a limb off!

A saw called the Predator is probably looking for fingers to saw off. :thumbsup

they have those

Stick your dick in there, mister inventor, if you are soooo confident! ;)

worked in a cabinet shop for 2 years myself, 2 of the guys that worked there would have loved this

you first! :1orglaugh

spoken like a true internet marketer. :1orglaugh

that is badass .. very good idea !!

Great product/idea

haha...that one took me a minute.

I worked at a cabinet shop myself in the early 90's and it was shocking how many guys working there were missing digits. They hired a bunch of high school kids to help out during the summer, and the quarterback of the football team was catching on a rip saw and took off his thumb and forefinger...no more football,but then again, no more cabinet shop after his parents sued and OSHA got involved.

Utterly fucking useless.

How am I supposed to torture anybody with such a saw? :disgust

i can see none of you was ever in an old school plaster cast...these have been around for years in one form or another

Now they tell me

pretty cool! About time!

damn nice invention.

My day job was special effects for some 32 years and i've seen a few accidents that may not have happened if this had been around then. It always seems to happen to experienced people who should know better. I saw one guy get 3 fingers cut off on a small 12 inch table saw. Someone distracted him and bang fingers flying everywhere and his t shirt covered in blood. Takes more than 6 months to get over the trauma of something like that.

One older guy was using a 14 inch planner someone, called out his name and zip he lost a finger. He asked us to find it in the pile of sawdust, we found 24 perfect slices with the bone in the middle like you would slice a ham. I still use a saw table almost every day so i'm getting one of these just in case i make a foolish mistake :thumbsup

My middle school shop teacher cut his finger off on a table saw. True story.

I wanna try it with my cock!

Amazing technology nowadays

The videos are awesome for marketing this.

This has been out for over a year and has won many awards. Just saying for those that don't trust it.

LMAO... Ahh come on.. Give it a try...

what happens when the brake fails for some reason? its better to be expecting that the saw can cut off your finger.

:1orglaugh

If you are talking about those seen on the infomercials - they don't work. I was getting ready to buy one a few months back and the reviews on Amazon rated it just above a toy.

Yes it won't burn you, but, well go to Amazon and read the reviews.
I ended up buying a bigger traditional electric one.

damn, that is an awesome invention

reviews = there will always be someone bitching, fuck reviews
