Saw Stop - Product Feature

[seumas2]

Sawstop excluded macduff is impressed, macduff's innovative technology (The Original Jimmy Jig) the other alternate

mated to older table saws has retro-fitted that technology to be as save as it can ever be,

it will not wreck the blade or stop the saws operational function.

All macduff's ideally automatic anti-kick back devices are placed up front over-head of the blade or

cutting tool on a

stationary fence, (a macduff first) attaches to a bracket with a suspended rod from the stationary fence

which will never deviate from the parallel.

This portable light weight technology cuts sheet material to 4ft. on center requiring no large

permanently mounted side or out-feed extension tables

World wide there are hundreds of thousands of table saws with the old dangerous technology out there. Sawstop at

this time cannot retro-fit these saws. Buy new not necessarily, retro-fit available yes, but don't be

complacent and keep your wits about ye, slainte mhath macduff

sawstop is beasty

[bokitodemantijno]

What if u saw wet wood or some HPL is boot static too

[walikai]

there is a bypass you can activate

[Supish16]

what if u cut ur hand when its bypassed?

[walikai]

I dunno, be more careful? not everyone has on of these anyway. the wood would have to be pretty wet.

oh yeah cant cut aluminum on this either! damn

[jreyman]

You should be able to, using the safety bypass. With the safety deactivated it operates like a regular cabinet saw, allowing the user to cut conductive materials. Just remember to turn the safety system back on when you're done.

but will it work 3 years after bought, when everything is thoroughly coated with sawdust ? After its been jostled around, taken on some water etc? I know I've never seen a table saw on a job site so spotless....

[lachlannn]

anyone know how much these things retail for?

[jreyman]

Comparison: Cabinet saw with 10" blade, 220V 3HP motor, and 50" fence:

Jet Xacta Saw: around $1700 retail.

SawStop: around $3100 retail. Replacement SS brake cartridge: $60 each Replacement Blade: $60 to $120 each If the bypass is on, it's not any safer.

looks spendy

a truly revolutionary design...

they really need to make a video of their CEO trying it with his finger

[Sleep2828]

Funny you mention that. Our manager went to a Sawstop show and the rep from their company did put his finger in it. Long story short, we now have one of their saws in our shop. :) I agree that the CEO wouldn't do it though (assuming he can figure out how to turn on the saw).

[mman454]

They actually had him on time warp on discovery channel putting his finger into the blade

[E1craZ4life]

@te4s80txmt The inventor did that on an episode of Time Warp.
