SawStop is famous for its safety features when it comes to table saws! SawStop's unique saw blade braking system stops a moving saw in a split second if a finger even gets near it saving the user from lost fingers or serious injury.
It's a great saw to have in any woodworking shop, or bring it to the jobsite and get your projects done safely! These table saws come with different size fences ranging from 30" to 52" and could be easily modified with additional accessories to reduce your exposure to sawdust, extend your work space with folding tables or cast iron wings and other options.
SawStop saw systems come in many different models suitable for the small woodworking shop or hobbyist and scaling up to larger professional and industrial heavy-duty environments. If you looking for the safest table saw to purchase, look no further! SawStop is the table saw you need!

Well, we know, but it's not common knowledge. Those things are. And their maker lives on through them. The saw stop? It will save fingers until the end of time, and no one knows the name of the man who made it.

I case you're wondering I've tripped mine twice, once with a tape measure and once it tapped my miter gauge. It happens faster than your brain can process it. You'll think you've broken the saw...and it's really loud. BANG! Kind of pricey because it ruins the brake and the blade.. About $180 a pop.. Still cheaper and less painful than a finger..

[@Cognitoman]

Yeah if saves my finger I’m happy

[@GlobalOutcast]

Tbh $180 was a lot less than I was expecting. Definitely worth the cost

[@t-rkplayzgames6737]

They should honestly licence the IP and have this integrated into as many saws as possible (festool, Makita, hitachi, Milwaukee, dewalt etc)

[@dLimboStick]

Apparently, the inventor tried that. No takers. They all thought adding this device to their product would be an admission that their products are inherently unsafe, and an admission like that would open them up to lawsuits, so they all passed.

I have a table saw from the late 80's maybe. I dont use it but once or twice a year. Anyways, it scares the bejesus out of me every time i do turn the darn thing on.

[@nicolaskeroack7860]

does this work to cut conductive material like metals?

[@Jackbrick101]

There is a "bypass mode" you can enter to disable the safety system, so you can cut conductive materials. Otherwise, it would trigger the brake.

[@alexliu1996]

If I try to touch blade of the SawStop table saw, the stoppage device will be activated

[@AriinPHD]

[@RubidiumMoon]

It’s all fun and games until a dad sticks their hand in the middle of the saw to see if it stops and you end up with a Mortal Kombat fatality move instead.

[@jcongiri]

What happen to using a wooden material push... Worked then , would work now

[@ronanvialon7695]

Whilst I agree that this is good practice, what if someone trips and falls onto the spinning blade ? This system would greatly reduce the damage. And even though safety is always the most important thing in a workshop, using something to push often isn't as comfortable as using your hands, which if it really bothers the user would make the sawstop absolutely necessary for them.

[@benedictcumberbatch4275]

Look how slow he moved that hotdog onto the saw blade. Let me see you slam it on there.

[@internetisinteresting7720]

You din't talk about the real deal, where is the sensor, how the main processor detect a hand colition.

[@escanor790]

there is no 'sensor'. the electric signal leaves the 'saw' when the finger touches the saw and that triggers the brake.

[@Ryu_Matsumoto06]

[@couldbeworse1488]

Does the sawstop prevent you from using wet/damp wood?

[@RoadCorporation]

Though I have no first person experience, the answer os NO. (see the sawstop myth debunking video). The wood would have to be totaly soaked with water so that water splashes out of it.

[@foty8679]

@@RoadCorporation You can also operate it in bypass mode which allows you to cut conductive metal for example.

I don’t think the saw will stop quick enough if you slam your finger on it. Maybe gently yes.

[@Woodworkerexpress]

I highly recommend that you do not try to punch a saw blade while its on. Not sure how fast you can move your finger into the blade but usually everyone pushes material through a saw at a steady rate so as long as you are not cutting wood ninja style, this saw will save your finger

[@yesyeayepnonope716]

@@Woodworkerexpress Indeed. Saws should always be treated with respect. A fellow creator on KZbin by the name of "Jonathan Katz-Moseshas" tested this however and the results were frankly amazing. It would be a nasty cut, but your finger/hand would still be intact it seems!

It still hits your finger, you get minor cuts. It's not gonna trigger until you touch the blade unlike bulletproof vests that completely stops the bullet and all you get is at most a punch in the chest.

[@chrisbrown33]

A bold claim for saving fingers. However using proper blade guards will save more fingers! Using a table saw without proper training and without a blade guard is like driving a car without a seat belt and not passing a driving test. It's going to end badly

[@benedictcumberbatch4275]

Better than nothing though

[@invaderjay]

We just gonna ignore the flying piece of plastic that broke off at 0:40?

[@pavelnesmiyanov3166]

why do you care?

[@Jackbrick101]

That is under the tabletop, there's a tiny gap (that your blade goes through) where that piece potentially could come through... but being a responsible table saw user, you've got eyepro on... so in the insanely small chance that that small shard comes anywhere near you, you're covered.

[@BigBoii1369]

Doesn’t ruin the blade? Did you not just shove the blade into a block of aluminum?!

[@Woodworkerexpress]

It does ruin the blade

[@michawhite7613]

Yes. As they say at the end of the video, you need to replace the blade. Although, blades are easier to replace than fingers.

[@Jackbrick101]

Awesome technology until it fails, and triggers the blade brake for no reason (destroying your blade + brake). Has happened twice to us now (more than half a year apart), first time was on startup before anything even touched the blade, second time was halfway through a dry, clean MDF sheet. The blade gets incredibly jammed into the brake after firing, and is an ordeal to get clear; definitely not a 5 minute repair. If you have an extra blade and an extra brake on hand, maybe thirty minutes to an hour... Great concept and I'm glad we have ours (I do love my fingers), but it's extremely frustrating when your saw can just quit on you for no reason (literally - we sent the brake in for testing, even SawStop said it was a misfire), and totally screw up your workflow, project deadlines, etc. Unreliable experience with our SawStop so far... One false misfire - sure, I could accept that. But two now? And do they pay for your blade or your time? Nope...

[@mgd9151]

Not all that great. Shouldn't destroy itslef in the process. It's a bad design. I get saving body parts but flesh isn't the only thing that can trigger it and as soon as it is triggered, you lose money. Business likes to pretend their safety features aren't all about money. Shame

[@michawhite7613]

What are you cutting? I don't think wood can conduct electricity.

[@isaccduarte9241]

“A new cartridge, a new blade and five minutes and you’re back in business”🔥 Capitalism don’t need to stop 🤑

How else whould you do it ? Come on, come up with a safety system that works as well and won't break the blade nor the sytem.
