Vision and control team to make saws safer

Anyone who has operated a table saw has done so with some trepidation. Operators using hand-fed saws are particularly vulnerable since after adjusting the height and angle of the blade, the operator manually pushes the stock into the blade. If the operator's hands slip while feeding the stock into the saw, or if the operator holds his/her hands too close to the blades, injuries can occur.
