Allen Cabinetry & The CounterTop Shop in Mansfield, Ohio recently used a $17,000 grant from the Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation to replace all five of their table saws with brand new SawStops. The company, which creates custom cabinetry and kitchen/bath counter tops, has only 28 workers, many of whom use the company’s table saws regularly. Unfortunately, it took a table saw accident for them to become eligible for the grant; in February, a worker nearly cut off his thumb on a table saw, and while surgeons were able to reattach it, the man no longer has any mobility in his thumb.
Despite the tragic accident, it’s great to see companies embracing the SawStop as a way to protect their workers. You can find the full article on their switch to SawStops here, and don’t forget to check out all of the SawStop products at ToolKing.com!
