I heard about these tablesaws at work and thought if they work, they are absolutely amazing. It is designed to save fingers and thumbs. For those who inadvertantly have a finger in the path of the blade, the blade stops and retracts in miliseconds upon contact. The blade will be destroyed but you'll only be left with a nick. To see a demonstration and the saw go to Sawstop. Myself, having only 9½ fingers* due to a stupid accident years ago, I cannot recommend something like this enough.
