This isn't a ShopSmith product but maybe someday they will incorporate the design concept.

And this one shows that you don't get something for nothing. (I'm referencing the damage)
It also shows a guy stick his finger into the rotating blade. That is trust!!!!!! You gotta watch it.

There are others; about 15 threads have posts that mention that safety feature on these forums. It is something, but I think we can over safetify (just made that up) anything for a price. I trust myself better then I am willing to pay for that.

The doctor bill would probably be cheaper!!! But you better wait until the new health plan goes into effect since the doctors are going to have to work for less money.:D

Sounds like socialism to me. Less incentive for the doctor, more government control. I am glad you started this thread and redirected it. I just hate being accused of hi-jacking threads. :D

Anyone can hijack any thread I start. If it gets to the point where it bugs me, I'll chime in real quick.
Hey, no picking on the government. Look at all the successes they've had so far successfully running public programs without incurring any additional debt such as like social security, USPostal, medicare, border control, FEMA, etc., etc., etc.:rolleyes:
