Finger Vs. Table Saw Video (SawStop In Action)

DrewD · 11-24-2008, 03:56 PM

For those of you who contest the SawStop and doubt it really works here is a video of the inventor sticking his own finger on the blade while its running.

Wow.....nothing more

**KentWhitten** · 11-24-2008, 05:58 PM

That's a dedicated man and his product. What a demonstration. It should be attached to every table saw sold.

Dam I wish I had one of those last year

That is just awesome.....

MALCO.New.York · 11-24-2008, 09:08 PM

I have been watching this show regularly. Pretty neat!!!!

It is so very important to know EXACTLY how something truly works and High Speed Cameras will show you!

**Cole** · 11-24-2008, 09:16 PM

I am getting the contractor version for Christmas, the money has already been sat aside for it!

Mellison · 11-24-2008, 09:24 PM

Very Cool!
I will be looking into this.

neolitic · 11-24-2008, 09:44 PM

Anyone wanna place bets on
how many years 'til someone
successfully sues because a
saw didn't have this feature?

BreyerConstruct · 11-24-2008, 09:53 PM

wow.

That's amazing! I'd like to get one for our saw... you only drive a guy to the hospital once with a shorter finger to appreciate that kind of invention...

TBFGhost · 11-25-2008, 06:52 PM

it was nice to see that in slow motion....

all vinyl · 11-25-2008, 07:00 PM

thank you

curapa · 11-25-2008, 07:29 PM

I saw that show when it aired, pretty amazing.

curapa · 11-25-2008, 07:49 PM

I wonder how many dummies will get fired for testing that feature out with a hot dog and ruining that $60 stop.

scourt11 · 11-26-2008, 12:59 PM

that will not last if have green or wet lumber. the blade has a charge to it when it discharge on green or wet lumber the saw will become trash

MALCO.New.York · 11-26-2008, 01:04 PM

Ripping Green Lumber?? Hummmmmmmmm............

DrewD · 11-27-2008, 08:55 PM

If your cutting green lumber (PT) or sheet metal (don't know why you would use a table saw) there is an override switch.

TBFGhost · 11-28-2008, 12:36 AM

Alot of ppl use a tablesaw to cut metal. I have done alum and brass myself...

Winchester · 11-28-2008, 02:41 AM

You are supposed to use the band saw. It has no "Fling" Factor!

GregS · 11-28-2008, 09:57 AM

Note on the demo though, he just moved his finger slowly up to the blade edge. The result was no blood.

I don't think you guys have your fingers in that position when you cut wood do you? You'd probably still get a nick, but you'd keep a finger!
