A bit off topic but there are band saws that immediately stop when touching your finger, they're so fast that your finger remains unharmed.

And those band saws actually do technically brick themselves too lol

GP's first example is spot-on, the second is actually somewhat weak as almost anyone actually would prefer a bandsaw to brick itself rather than permanently maiming them.

Yea, it's a weaker example, but the problem with my saw moralizing about what it's cutting is 1. false positive bricking my tool, and 2. the user's lack of input--it should be my decision as the tool operator to add a safety measure.

		Odd take as 90% of saw-stops are probably there because they were mandated by OSHA regulation. It's rarely up to the operator.
