Check out this amazing SawStop video demonstrating how the table saw blade stops in less than 1/200 of a second once it detects any body contact (or as SawStop likes to use in their demos, contact with a hot dog). Click “read more” for an inside look at the saw that’s making a huge splash in the tool world.
With such a massive shock like that, it’s no surprise that the braking mechanism has to be replaced whenever a safety stop takes place. The saw blade will more than likely also require replacement as well. While these replacement parts might end up costing you a few hundred dollars, at least you’ll still have your fingers!
We think it makes the most sense to think of the SawStop’s safety features like you think of a car airbag: hopefully it will never have to be used, but if it does, you’ll be glad that you did have it!
With such an amazing safety feature like this, it is beginning to make sense not to purchase a table saw without it. To get more information on a SawStop cabinet saw, visit ToolKing.com.
