"After you cut a small piece off for a leg, do you route the end again to be ready to cut off another leg?"

What I actually did Joe was to rout BOTH ends, then along the length, cut off each end then rout both ends again followed by two more cuts.

Never heard of that one.
Have heard of the SawStop which makes essentially the same claim.
I admit to being intrigued by a lot of what I read about it on several levels -- and hope they sell a LOT of them -- enough to get the price down to earth.

But for almost $3k -- --- I'll just have to keep reminding myself that sawblades and fingers dont belong together.

Don't know about shop safety becoming a big thing --
Unless you mean its becoming more and more of a buzz word for people to use to sell stuff --
Some of my earliest shop memories were my dad and grandad preaching safe use of tools --- and that was almost 50 years ago -- so where I am from - safety has been a big thing at least that long.

Our ideas of what it takes to be safe -- I guess are just - different.

Been there - done that - got the t-shirt.
But I can go you one better -- -- or worse - depending on how you look at it.
One of the most potentially life threatening injuries ever to my hand- was from a TOOTH PICK.

I was bussing tables - grabbed up a paper napkin that just happened to have a toothpick in it -- I felt the stick - pulled it out like you would a splinter - and went on with my work --
Next morning that hand was starting to look like a foot - swollen big time - MAJOR infection
It was a deep puncture wound so they had to cut it open to clean it out --
NOT FUN.
