Machine detects conductive material touching the saw blade and stops in less than a thousandth of a second. It destroys the saw blade and stopping mechanism, but that is cheaper than reattachment surgery.

After testing it with a hot dog, the inventor uses his own finger to show the machine works.

There's someone who has a lot of faith in his invention.

Yeah, saw that years ago. I'd forgotten that it destroyed the saw.

Still worth it IMO.

Apparently, the link was forwarded through Croatia.

Regardless of the date, it is amazing technology.
