I honestly think there is a cheaper way to stop that blade.

I mean who said you had to "stop" the blade. Just make the blade go under the table and finish rotating. All the energy will be lost to natural friction.

Interesting idea. Though considering the speed of a TS Blade 2500rpm +, in the time it takes to accelerate a spinning blade downward, it would still likely get a good rip out of anything that it touches. Though who knows, something to explore for sure.

[angud2000]

so after an accident happens, we have to replace the blade and the stopper?

[toolkingdotcom]

That is correct. If the break cartridge fires, instead of your fingers getting destroyed, the blade is pretty much destroyed. So you replace the cartridge (which contains much of the electronics to protect against wear and tear) and the blade. It takes about 5 minutes.

This should be a trap in the Scary Movie take off's of Saw. "I want to play a game. To escape from your doom, you must put your hand into the saw blade..."

Saw guy: "Ah fuck I forgot it was a Saw Stop"

i dont care that is fucking awsome i dont care if it cost me 1000 dollars to replace a brake and a blade because i know FOR A FACT!!! that you CAN NOT buy NEW FINGERS!!!!

[EastBayFM]

@macbeasty id rather spend the 60$ to save my finger than go budget safety

@ipscjoe OUCH that outa hurt like hell, n yea all schools should

[ipscjoe]

@MaddProductionz

I cut my pointer finger to the bone on my left hand....after all the doctor bills, medicine etc...it was closer to 6,000.........every highschool in the country should have these........but don't tell the kids they are there..

[MaddProductionz]

$120 for new blade and brake, vs $1000 + surgury, or just no finger at all =P ur choice, we got these at my school =]

Every single time i watch the SawStop in action i get amazed! Every..... Single...... Time! =) Evolution for carpenters :P

[Idiotsmakemesad]

@anonimystro12345 Yeah I have seen it already. Seems the blade does about 3/4 of a revolution before coming to a stop. So you still have to endure like 20 teeth, potentially very damaging in my opinion..

Maybe your right but I'd still like to see the test.

[anonimystro12345]

@Idiotsmakemesad Even at a higher speed, this thing will only damage your finger as much as a paper cut. You would have to slip extremely fast in order to do actuale damage to it, you would have to do it faster then the rotation of the saw blade actually.

Go watch "sawstop in timewarp" on youtube and see what I mean.

[Idiotsmakemesad]

@anonimystro12345 I'm not saying the device doesn't have merit. I'm just saying it would be good to see how it performs in a more realistic circumstance. People very rarely slowly feed the fingers into a saw, its almost always a result of some sort of slip up,either with their feet or just poor technique. Either way their hands end up moving quickly at the saw. I think you could still easily lose a finger and concealing that fact to give people a false sense of security isn't right.

[anonimystro12345]

@Idiotsmakemesad If you slip and fall theres also the chance of breaking your face without a saw, not to mention that it would probably only give you minor cuts instead of ripping your face apart.

@toolkingdotcom i have seen it happend, they are %110 not goign to hurt you at all unless you throw your arm into it at 100mph and you will get a scratch (but why do that)
