Newarcher Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 http://www.sawstop.com/ It is a safety system on a table saw that puts a small electrical current into the blade. Wood will not disrupt that charge, but flesh will. When it does, the blade is instantly stopped and the blade drops away from the user. You gotta see the hotdog demonstration, see the movie down below on the left hand side. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi That is pretty cool. Used to work with someone who lost a few fingers with a table saw and chop saw, was actually working with him when he lost one. Too bad they did not have this technology back then.

Buckslayer Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi As a safety director for a manufacturing company, I was amazed to see that invention. Great work from that company! I'll have to remember that video forever, so that I can suggest it if we need one in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi Truly amazing! Technology has come along ways. Can't wait to show this video to some contractors when they come through here today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi That has actually been around for a few years now. Once the first company actually manufactures all its saws with it...other companies will follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerClay Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi I have made my career with wood and I have the scars on my fingers to prove it. That is a pretty cool saw but I would have to try a few experiments before I bought one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi I just showed that to our shop teacher and he said "yeah, that's been out for quite some time, but they're not selling any due to liability." Apparently the guys who invented it are putting it on their own brand of saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a whi That is pretty neat. It would be nice if it was included when you bought a new saw. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossyhorn Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while Yeah but how fast does it react. You would think that once your finger hits the blade the damage is done. But I guess for other body parts like the arm it would be a good idea. I would rather be cut then have my arm removed.

Guest Andrea Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Re: This is the coolest thing I have seen in a while That's amazing. Pretty fast reaction time. Much better to only have to put on a band-aid then be rushed to the E.R with your severed finger in a bag of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCO Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 We have this saw at our school. It was donated by the local Home Builders association. It is really nice. A news crew came out and filmed some stuff with it and they did the hot dog demo. It was really cool to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
