I"m a Cabinet maker. I worked at a place where three guys got nicked by saws in a week. The owner immediately bought a Saw Stop cabinet saw. NO one ever got injured again in four plus years after that. Plenty of set offs though. Better to pay $75 for a new block and get a new blade than the skyrocked Workers Comp insurance from injuries. I also worked elsewhere, where I had my right hand run through the saw blade. At first amputation was being considered, but after two operations and a year of rehab, my hand is 95% back to normal. After that, I bought one of these for my home shop, for safety and piece of mind. Great saw. Recommending it for everyone. BTW .... there's a push to have EVERY saw made and sold in the US, with this technology. Even those $100 specials at Harbor Freight. Of course they will no longer be $100 and quite likely no longer be sold in the US.
These videos are too cheer leader ish for me, still great saw. Plenty of other tools on the job can injure even poor lifting techniques so I won't fault the saw just silly enthusiasm. I will get one of these saws. A trip to ER amputation & physical therapy costs a lot more.
At 5:03, did anyone else pause the video to go and get their safety glasses and ear defenders? I'm not sure I see the attraction of a table saw that can't even cut through a hotdog.
With the gards sitting on top of the blade there's no way unless you want a day-3months off OSHA still won't let you operate it with out the gards besides we all see the hot dog vids no one has ever shown us with human fingers if it's such a small cut might be a gimmick
+Nickolay Pelov lol ofc its fake xD and i use to think this is so good but ever sins i saw the bosch stop function that does not ruin the blade and takes like 2min to reset and start to work again. + this is not 100% reliable becaus if the wood is to wet it can freake out and triger and gues what boom there goes a good blade. so i think im more of a bosch guy :)
+swedish gaming I meant the video is fake, not the saw, and it was a joke. Of course they'll not work properly when they are shooting video. And yes, I heard about bosch. Sounds promising, mostly because sawstop is hard to get in europe (or at least Bulgaria). But other than that if you ruin a blade or two - who cares if your fingers are fine. There is a disable for the stop function. If I were sawstop I would make a "test" button to test for wet wood.
+Nickolay Pelov Sawstop can test wet wood under its BYPASS mode. When turn on the bypass mode, you can cut the wet wood and check the RED led indicator. If the red light blinks, that means the brake system will be trigger in normal mode when you cut that piece of wet wood. That's the way of testing wet wood.
+Jeffrey Lin Well, I guess the guys who invented it knew what they are doing... Good job! Now if only they 1. put a smaller dummy blade to go to the cartridge instead of your real expensive one and 2. make the sawstop widely available in Europe, I'd consider buying it (but not before being able to see it in person).
