Rep Power: 184913       |  SawStop... This is impressive technology for wood workers. "This YouTube video showcases an ingenious safety device. Table saws make it easy to cut materials to exacting specifications. Unfortunately, they can be incredibly dangerous. Nearly 3,000 people lose a finger every year." If you work with or have worked with a Table Saw, you will be impressed. I was  WOW... http://videos.komando.com/2008/12/09...est-table-saw/ |

Rep Power: 1738 | Re: SawStop... This is impressive technology for wood workers. Absolutely amazing! I use an old table saw that my uncle game me. It scares me every time I use it. With this device I would have no fear, even when medicated. It would be great if they can adapt the same technology for machinery in the meat processing industry. I wonder if ground beef would taste the same without human fingers…  |

Not only was I worried about Da fingers, but kick backs too. Watching the blade flex as it stopped had me wondering how many blades shattered before the proper amount of brake was applied. The shattered blade would be even more dangerous. :slaugh: Funny Kushy... Boy, I wish it could be adapted, but since meat and fingers have the same conductivity something else is needed. Me, I love inventing new products, but unfortunatly, I'm always designing something already made and produced.  | |

This is impressive technology for wood workers. wow! being a cabinetmaker for 37 years all i can say is wow! i also program microcontrollers and went to school for mechatronics and to have this much faith in a chip to stop a blade that is about to remove a body part is beyond my ability. wouldn't mind having one of these things on my saws. chuck |
