That's got to be some of the most unsafe workshop practices ever.<p>Never ever do it the way those guys in the video show, always use a push stick, and NEVER rely on a safety device to keep your ass safe, save it for the unavoidable.

No one uses these because they destroy the machine, and they have too many false alarms. Especially a nail in the wood.<p>They need a device with zero cost for a false alarm.

The Sawdust Shop (<a href="http://sawdustshop.com/" rel="nofollow">http://sawdustshop.com/</a>), near Fry's Sunnyvale, has one of these.
