Dang, RedWifey's dad could've used that invention about 10 years ago, when he sawed off the tip of his ring finger.

I zapped a thumb on my old Craftsman just before I finished the cabinets for my house. I have been waiting for them to come out with the contractors' model. Incidentally FineWoodworking gave their cabinet version a top rating over Deltas and other great old brands.
I just called them, and the contractors, due out end of 06 will probably be out the end of this year. Definitely a good purchase.

They could have just added a breathalyzer to the bench and probably have the same reduction in accidents.
I don't know why I find that so funny, but I do. My grandfather lost three of his fingers on a planer. He jokes about it now saying either a bear bit them off when he was a kid or the Germans shot them off. I'm not sure if he really remembers how he lost them.
