table saw safety - this is amazing
|
yeah I saw that show. its pretty wicked. the only problem is that the whole drive assembly needs to be replaced when the safety feature engauges, but hey thats less exspensive than losing an apendage.
|
I saw this about three years ago. Here is the website.
The World?s Leading maker of safe 10-inch Table Saws ? SawStop If it was not so dang expensive I would already have one. I do wish that I did have one a while ago when a friend tore up his hand really bad on my table saw. Maybe it is time to spend the $$$ now so I don't have to spend it again later. |
That is amazing, I'm betting all the schools woodshop will be buying one of these as soon as they can. 60 - 70 dollars vs 1000's in hospital bills sewing a finger back on....also this is from there website
"If you send us your activated cartridge and we determine through our diagnostic processes that contact with skin triggered the activation, we’ll send you a new cartridge free of charge" So it won't cost you anything (maybe) |
thats nuckin futs... there is no way i would ever do that no mater how much i trust it but it is a dam good idea that works
|
Holy cow that was amazing...I didn't really think he'd stick his finger in it! My dad got a few stitches when he was younger for that very thing.

I've wired up multiple for the school district, cool stuff for sure! Never saw one work just the principle behind it. |
I've seen them at tool shows. A couple of times per day, they take a hot dog out of the bun (they serve them for the show) and put on top of a 1x12 and push it through the saw (faster than I normally run stuff through) and when it hits the hot dog.... all I can say is that it works because the hot dog only gets a small nick. I've had alot worse from other "friendly" tools.

That was insane.. I cant believe that dude put his finger in there.. very cool :U:
|
They were all in Madison High schools... Pretty sure it more for insurance reasons than safety :lol: But honestly yes mistakes happen but if you lose some fingers in a saw its proably more or less your fault and 90% of the time they should had known better... :pca1:
|
I've seen the saw before a few times, but never saw that vid of him sticking his finger it. That's awesome. I'd like to try that sometime....:pca1:
You gotta have faith in a product like that when the guy that designed it risks his finger for it. |
That's pretty sweet - my dad & brother are both wishin their table saws would have had that before they tried to stop them with their fingers (not both of them at the same time of course)
|
They installed one at the school i work at last yr. It really is amazing how it works. I saw it stop on a hotdog myself!
One major setback is ya gotta be real careful on what woods ya cut. Can't cut wet wood at all. Some types of plywood can't be cut too. Least that's what the rep told us. |
Amazing :U:
|
that is sweet:pca1:
|
we coulda used that when i was in school, one of my classes mates is called 3 finger joe now... care to take a guess what happened?
|
Wow, that's amazing! Very nice setup :c:
