Another saw safety thread -- the miter saw!
#10
"Saw-Stop"-like feature is now available in bandsaws (meat industry). I hope Festool in conjunction with its family member SawStop would develop and introduce such safety to its sliding compound miter saw, which would prevent or reduce the injury of even this kind of serious miter saw incident:

So the Kapex would go from $1500.00 to $3,000.00

That could be exactly the motivation behind Festool's parent company's buying out the table saw company from Dr. Gass!

How would a saw-stop work in the meat industry?

The  light curtains are a common safety feature in industry.   The meat band saw appears to simply utilize a colored glove with a camera that provides the curtain. 

With the price of image sensing dropping, it likely will show up on wood working equipment in the near future.
I tried not believing.  That did not work, so now I just believe

The one for the band saw is big! This is the only saw that scares me to the ultimate respect. I completely focus when using this saw- nothing else enters my mind but how and where I am pushing with my fingers or hand. I pull a lot of the work.

That's interesting. I've installed many systems that use light curtains and they are pretty sophisticated these days. I wonder if it's a one time cartridge? I work in the industrial automation industry and this video reminds me of how much I hated going into meat processing plants. If you could add smell to that video you'd probably only watch it once!
