Ow.
Could be worse. Back when I was putting interiors into custom yachts, I had an assistant who stuck his thumb into a jointer. You cannot sew hamburger back on.

Well, there's this to look forward to: Tomorrow it will throb. So start drinking early.

Anyone who works with tools long enough will have some close calls. I am surprised the Sawstop table saw never took off. I heard th big boys (delta, rigid, etc) lobbied against the technology...

They are impractical, the saw itself costs $5000, plus everytime it trips you have to spend $400 on a replacement part so it will reset. For a one man show its not too bad, but when you have several employees waiting on parts to go through the tablesaw for assembly, it can quickly add up to a big loss of $$ and time (and time also =$$).

No doubt, but if some of the larger buyers (government) mandated the technology as a safety measure, by now the systemwould be licensed to the big boys, improved, and much, much, cheaper.

Government mandates never do anything but make everything worse. More regulation always = More $$..
Yep; when it trips, it drops the spinning blade into a hunk of metal, ruining both parts in the process.
On the other hand, anyone I know who's whacked off fingers wishes they'd had that and usually end up paying more or close to $5k in hospital bills. It WOULD be ghastly expensive to have a bigger shop or mill using those saws.
The tradeoff of paying $500 for a new stop and blade vs. having OSHA snooping around post-digicide, citing you for frayed wires or whatever other B.S. might be worth it.
More importantly- Sorry about the loss of your tools, Cabi.
