Saw stop

[zizzle125]

Use your finger not a wiener.. Pussy

[shawn56555]

lol a friend at my school did that with our shops class saw just for shits and giggles

[Vincegould]

Gm 2010 is a fool. I lobe this thing! 69.00 to save your finger. No problem.

[GladiatorMusic2010]

bullshit . how can a saw tell the difference in wood and a sausgage .. the guys throwing a switch

[ElroyMcDuff]

@GladiatorMusic2010

From the NPR story about the saw:

"It turns out a hot dog has about the same salt and moisture content as a human finger. The SawStop saw induces a very slight electrical current on the blade that is monitored by a computer chip inside the saw. Wood does not conduct electricity — but your finger does. The saw can sense the difference between the two and trigger a safety brake."

[tuffy3000]

@GladiatorMusic2010 there is a small electrical currant running threw it and wood can not conduct a currant , but a hot dog can. :P

@GladiatorMusic2010

Are you completely stupid?

[GladiatorMusic2010]

@miketingscott whats that labia lips.everyone is entitled to their own opinion

[miketingscott]

@GladiatorMusic2010 Yeah I guess 'labia lips'. Just a shame your thick then, seen as this is literally a product on that market. Not a switch. Idiot

[SK89361]

That sucks. I would hate to cut my weiner on a table saw. :)

[se7en8ight6ix1ne]

no this vid is legit

i have the same saw in my wood shop class and the shit is amazing

but it cost 170 dallors for replacment of the brake that stops the blade and a new blade becuz the blade gets destroyed

[macbeasty]

This blade looks fine for wood chopping. It seems however that anything else might involve lots of false stops in which case you deal with immense costs.

I still personally think this looks like a science project than a table saw. I mean even if I knew I was a careless tablesaw user, I couldn't afford this thing in 15 years.

[ElArGeNtInO12]

well what it does is it shuts off when it feels something more moist then normal wood. we have these at our school.

[ViciousRanger]

Wow Bigr, you've actually used the same comment on several different videos about these saws.

It's not a waste of money, if they didn't do these demos nobody would believe them. You couldn't just say " Oh just trust me that our saw won't chop your fingers off " the natural response would be " Oh yeah? Prove it " so they did.

So no, they aren't wasting money, spending money yes, but it is an investment so that is not the same thing as wasting it.

The Saw Stop is pretty fucking sweet though

[fuzzypoodle]

the cost of an on the job injure is much higher and not to mention your insurance premiums go up. our high school saved up money and bought two of them. the cartridges are 90 bucks. well worth my finger. and the cost of a new saw blade.

[salmanius]

So a finger is worth less than 200 dollars?

[rearvumirror]

Get real! I work in a busy Orthopaedic Surgery department and EVERY week we see injuries caused by table saws, often to very experienced workers. The cost to society (and that includes you -- bigr7460) to treat even one severed finger for someone who is uninsured (many of our patients) is thousands of dollars. Two hundred dollars for a demonstration that might save one finger is pocket change by comparison. In fact $2000 would be a bargain!

[1kristian0]

I'm not saying that using the saw stop to save fingers is a waste of money, its awesome. i just don't think its necessary to need to show people how the device works through the hot dog tests.

Sorry, the way I worded my previous comment was the wrong way to communicate my opinion

[skorets123]

we have this saw in my wood tech class

[electriceye53]

same

[toushhog]

that guys wiener is harder than woodpecker lips

[testohwise]

Now that's a hot dog commercial!

[mlocher1]

Listened to an NPR story in which the inventors lamented being unable to do business with DeWalt, Milwuakee and the other big tool-shop companies because cool or not--"safety just isn't all that marketable" in the carpetnry world. In other words, these companies loved the idea but calculated that not enough of their customers would shell out for it. Amazing technology, though--and SO smart. Genius stuff.

[taintedcookie]

only chuck norris can eat those wieners

[Orkomagic]

I own a SawStop 3hp cabinet saw. I've never tripped the mechanism but the saw is really accurate and smooth. Pretty much no vibration, larger than normal cast iron smoothly machined table, and everything's true and straight. It's $4000 out the door w/ all the accessories you'd want but it really is worth it. I never have to worry about the fence being straight, etc, just set it and go. Plus I am even more careful because each time you trip the mechanism it's 60 bucks for a new cartridge.

[Jhodas]

wow

awesome

[deftdrummer]

that is fuckin amazing.

[pureshadows]

that wiener is INVINCIBLE!

[DrWhat2]

I saw, and then I believed!

[Reizken]

wow

safety first please

[alexthebikeman]

good stuff! i know plenty of joiners who could have benefited from this 10 years ago. can't find any UK prices though
