OT, Almost - Who Needs to Measure

I just picked up a new Freud Diablo 10" 60 Tooth blade.

My gosh. It says right on the package "Cuts Wood to Correct Length"

Hell, if I had know it would do this I would have bought it years ago
and save all that money on tapes, scales and other measuring devices.

If I had known that I could have saved over a grand. I wouldn't have
had to purchase my cabinet saw.

It already exists.

A CNC controlled laser for cutting die boards, for example.

If you measure a flagpole that lies on the ground, you can only
measure how long it is, not how high it is.

And a flag pole laying down is a lot longer than when it is standing up.

Big deal! That claim was probably made by a retired politician. I'm
waiting for someone to come out with a negative kerf blade. That
would be what I would buy :-)

Silly! Those aren't blades, they're called Board Stretchers. I got
mine at HF, on sale.

I wonder if they could / will make a laser wood cutter? That will be as
close to negative as we could get, me thinks.

Seems to me that this kind of measurement must be relative.

Just think of the implications! Suddenly that Federal sideboard is within
reach! Just throw the wood onto the table and voila! no mis-cuts! Slap a
little glue on...

Awesome.

The only thing I can think of that would make sense is that they're
trying to say that it uses a standard kerf and plate thickness so that
the saw fence cursor remains calibrated.
