I guess I look at operations like this from an employer perspective. I can see how he has made a very creative and controlled setup, but I have also seen people manage to loose fingertips on fully-guarded, power-fed machine setups where, literally, there was only room to feed a 1" piece of wood (or a finger, if you tried) anywhere near the cutter. It is one thing for an owner/jig creator to use a setup like this, and quite another for someone who is daydreaming about their date last night or muddle headed from a big lunch.
