Many have faith in their work ... This man is also great because of the invention and how well it works ... $ 60 is well worth a finger ...

I saw a live demo of that thing in 2006 when I was signing my book for customers at Woodcraft in Parkersburg, WV. No way ol' Greydog is gonna stick his finger in that wood butcher!!!

I am glad something like this has been invented.

I once saw my big brother remove his thumb at the first joint on a table saw when I was 15. So I tried to watch the video but got too creep-ed

out to fininsh watching it by the memory of that accident and others I saw growing up in my Daddy's saw mill.

$60 doesn't even come close to what I think my fingers are worth. You know the commercial.... table saw $500, saw blade $50, fingers priceless.

I agree on the priceless.
