In addition to the plethora of stories on SawStop.com’s testimonials page, there are several photos of fingers that have been saved by SawStop’s braking mechanism. None of them suffered more than a nick. Here’s one of the testimonials that is accompanied by a photo:
“One of my students was ripping a piece of solid stock black walnut. During the cut,the board started to come off the fence at which time his middle finger on his left hand was pulled into the blade. Fortunately for the student, the other students in the room and me, my next tasks of the day were getting the student a band-aid and ordering a new cartridge instead of calling for an ambulance. I’m amazed at how scary the incident was to both the student and me. The rest of my day went a whole lot better than it would have had we not had SawStop table saws in our school woodshop.”

Obviously not every SawStop injury is going to be this minor; factors like the speed of your hand when it contacts the blade are going to affect the severity of your injury. However, these photos are good examples of what you can expect if you use the SawStop carefully and responsibly–as if it is any other table saw without the braking mechanism.
These photos are fantastic examples of how the SawStop can turn what would be costly, life-changing injuries into minor inconveniences. Head over to the testimonials page on SawStop.com to check them out!
