Great write-up Paul!
My wife is a quilter and has had a few serious incidents using an Olfa rotary cutter. Most recently she sliced off part of her left index finger tip that required a tourniquet and a trip to Urgent Care. She started using a small suction cup handle (think glass installer) attached to her different acrylic rules that keep her fingers clear of the blade.
There is a quilter’s straightedge with a spring loaded handle that has multiple “pistons” that plunge through holes in the straight edge and grip the material while cutting. A YouTube video is worth 10,000 words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYOoRetnlfM#t=403
I think something similar could be fab’d that will work in woodworking/veneer/inlay applications and allow you to see the workpiece.
