Table saws are definitely a tool to respect (only second to chain saws). If you really want one, and really want protection you could buy a Saw Stop table saw. It uses induction to detect a "fleshy" item like a finger and stops immediately. Bosch also sells one called Reaxx. (CORRECTION: Bosch no longer sells Reaxx. It was found to be in violation of the Stop Saw patents even though it uses different tech to stop the blade)
Most demoes use a hot dog but in this one (at the end) the inventor demonstrates it using his own finger.
