SawStop

This is frickin' cool!

This dude designed a table saw blade stopper that will stop a table saw blade cold before it can cut your finger off. This is assuming, of course, the operator is holding the board wrong.

The wild part of this show is that he actually tests it on his own finger on the show!!!

yah man.. i saw that on tv last week..... freaken sweet..... but its pricey...

im sure if the price was cheaper where most of us could afford it he would make more sales....

but i guess you can put a price on your fingers

yeah, i saw that too. it's gonna be a big seller in the school systems, woodshop and all. without a doubt.

like they said, every 9 minutes someone loses a finger on a table saw.

Thats awesome but I think I will leave the testing to him...

[HVAC SuperTech]

No way I would attempt that! That is pretty sweet though!!

[fsas]

[SMKSTAX]

[somebodyelse5]

yea its pretty impressive. i saw this on timewarp, but it was also on another show, i just dont remember which one! it just rams the blade into a big chunk of metal haha!

id be scared as hell to test that!

[CoalRollinRoosterCruiser]

That's sweet

I've seen that on another site.

I call BS,.....did you see how slow he put his finger in there.....nobody cuts wood that slow..

And what about wet wood, that has been at a job site for 3 days,....you'll go through a dozen of those things,....

great idea,...but it won't work for construction wood workers
