@@alanr6953 you can always be careful but you can't always be prepared for an accident that might happen so 160 to keep a finger is so much better lots of money for medical bills and a lost finger
I agree with this whole heartily. Hopefully having to spend 80 to 150 dollars, plus take the down time of the unit, and repair work will make to stay safe still.
I remember when this technology was in its infancy. And people criticized it for being a scam and fake. Really glad to see that criticism didn't stop the advance of this wonderful technology.
You're not an idiot and you've done a nice service for other woodworkers. The slow-motion shots are really informative, especially the one showing just how close your fingers came to the blade during the kick back.
The human heart is a source of electro-magnetism that, even at a few meters away, is detectable by modern scientific instruments. I figured they were tapping into static fields or electric fields (apparently was partially wrong). But even so the human body apparently does emit electric fields.
Rama Rakosi most living things emit electric currents. sharks have a sixth sense called electroreception pores in their nose can.detect electric impulses given off by living things from a distance. most aquatic predators have this as visibility is poor in the ocean so they rely on the 6th sense to hunt.
This is so amazing. The amount of energy that that brake withstands to stop that blade in such a short time is incredible. Engineering and inventions have come so far
Back in high school the woodshop had 4 of these bad boys. Managed to get through about 3/4 of the year without triggering any of them until one day some kid decided to see if it really worked and stuck his finger into the blade, set it off, then had his buddy come in a few hours later to do the exact same thing to another saw just to see for himself. Idiots, but the saws really do work. It's loud as hell even with 5-6 machines running at the same time, but the teacher yelling, especially after the second time, was much scarier lol.
I have been using the Saw Stop for three years now. It is as good as these videos show. Some of the others at work have activated the safety mechanism without even breaking the skin. I figure each of these occasions it has saved a finger, and a big increase in insurance premiums.
Tautvydas Z for the low low price of somewhere between $1500 and $5000, it can be on every new table saw. It's inventor was pretty selfish and greedy if you ask me. Instead of going to major table saw makers, and trying to sell or, hell, even GIVE the technology and the safety it brings to the craft of woodworking, he chose to make a proprietary saw and go to market with it. So now, he can charge exorbitant prices for his saw that is exactly the same as your dad's table saw, except that it has an piece of industry changing technology on it. And yes, I get that you can put a price on saving a finger r hand or bleeding to death, but that is EXACTLY what it's inventor did by making a proprietary table saw! Greedy the way I see it.
I don't think it's greedy to charge for your time and effort you put into an invention. It's not like he is providing free energy to the world or curing cancer, or knocking off all libs in one fell swoop.
He DID take it to the industry. Delta, Makita, Grizzley, etc., all turned him down saying it would be too expensive to retrofit their machines with his device. Undeterred, he went ahead and created SawStop and I for one ( with a finger save to show for it) am thrilled he did. Additionally, he does not charge an exorbitant price for the saw. It's comparably priced with Delta Unisaw and others, and it's superior in many ways. It is a saw of great quality and craftsmanship.To suggest that it's greedy to build a better mousetrap simple shows your ignorance and makes you seem like an uninformed troll. Go away.
Raycefan its not greedy its his own damn invention.. be happy hes allowing people to actually buy it instead of being greedy' and keeping the technology for himself.
How, I am a someone who does a lot of wood cutting or heavy labor like my brother. This is awesome, I’m happy someone took time to design a sensor like this for people like my brother. Definitely a hand saver 😂
That second test is exactly what I was looking for... Everyone's so keen on showing what it would look like if you slowly pushed your finger into the blade, but I can't imagine that's how most injuries happen.
Had older guy I knew who is a wood worker get injured at his job. Didn’t loose anything but got cut. I had seen videos of the saw stop before and mentioned it to him. His company quickly acquired these tables saws. Much more cost effective to break a blade and part then to pay the expenses for medical recovery.
I'm not as dumb as I look. Of course it scared me! I've been doing woodworking for over 40 years and still have all my fingers and want to keep it that way for whatever time I have left.
Amin My dad tells a story about his wood shop teacher who was demonstrating do's and dont's on the first day of class and took his own finger off in front of everyone.
I honestly think that school systems should be able to work out a deal with the maker/distributor of this table saw mostly because if it could help further prevent serious injuries in the school work shop and loosing a finger or hand when your younger can really screw up a persons life
Do you know how much just the initial ER visit alone will cost you? Not to mention follow up care, potential prosthetic limbs, work days lost and everyday pain and suffering due to the permanent disability. All of this assuming you don't bleed out and die before you get help. This product is soooooooooooo worth it's literally a no-brainer.
I think saw stop makes most of their money selling replacement parts from people trying out the mechanism when they first get theirs. Truly an engineering marvel though.
I notice lots of comments about price. I have found it is comparable to other machines of this quality. And apart from the safety aspect, the Saw Stop is a good saw capable of accurate work.
Wow that is fricken AMAZING now when I use my table saw I always use with caution and respect for the tool. And I am HAPPY to say after 30 YEARS of construction work and using all my various power tools I never had a single accident. Bashing a knee with a sludge hammer mashed many finger with hammers and collapsed a lung when I fell and got impaled on a 2x4's end. lol Hey shit happens ya know lol but, never any wounds from a saw, miters, drills etc thankfully. Now hey I could cut off a finger tomorrow you never know and even life time long professional's can have a accident that's why they call them accidents this is a brilliant tool I never knew existed! Thank you for the video.
This technology is awesome! I am taking a cabinet making class at community college and 2 Industrial SawStops showed up on pallets last week. The instructor said all the schools will be using SawStop saws as part of a new regulation of some kind in California. That should help save some young woodworkers fingers. Eventually, other power tools also will see this type of safety employed. Great videos!
I've seen some Sawstop videos before but this is by far the best one that shows actual accident speed, most videos always slowly creep the sausage into the blade but you actually did a realistic speed test when you flicked it. Thank you for this demonstration.
My friend just triggered his with a dado stack. One of the inner blades came a little loose, wobbled, and launched the board. He was using a push block and was also outside the red insert. The board pulled his hand into the blade anyway. Just had a red mark on his finger.
Florian Krug not really. Say you lose a thumb. You won’t be able to pick up anything with that hand anymore. Goodbye being a carpenter. Goodbye most other jobs as you are either unqualified or cannot do the tasks needed without a thumb.
@@Olivenmann-Outdoor well someone could lose a finger lose their livelihood become depressed and commit suicide, preventing that counts as saving lives!
Ok, you just answered a nagging question I have had. I have one’d my Saw Stop for about 2 years now. I have seen the hotdog thing many times. if your hand is sneaking up on the blade you only get a scratch. My nagging question is what if your hand is jammed into the blade. You answered that question with your demo. Thanks for that! Now I will feel even safer using my Saw Stop. And don’t forget the Saw is the most awesome piece of machinery ever. It is always a real pleasure to use! Thanks, Mark
You are an amazing guy. Not only are you well informed but these videos are clearly well thought out and produced with great skill and care. Your voice is even perfect for the subject matter. You are truly multi talented and obviously you are living life very intensely. Good for you. Keep up the outstanding service.

i wish i was using this back in the spring. i cut to the bone on my right thumb and can no longer bend it or have full feeling back. im only 16. wish i was using that...
Fantastic innovation! I appreciate your honesty when talking about how the moisture laden lumber could yield a false detection. That could be a deal break for some shops guys who get wood that is wet, seems like it would need to be soaked for it to happen. Nonetheless, I really appreciate you bringing that up while showcasing this amazing innovation!
It should be necessary for high school and vocational school wood shops. Other than that you should know how dangerous a table saw is. If this is on all table saws you would never be able to afford one. You don't need to hire idiots for the workplace people just do because they're cheaper
Table saw injuries happen to the best carpenters as well. Not just crappy ones. It's naturally one of the more dangerous tools. Up there with chainsaws.
Great video! I heard about this on the radio the other day and wondered how it worked. I almost lost a finger or three when I was younger and using a power saw to do some cutting. This is a fantastic invention!
This is well worth the extra cost if you use a table saw on a regular basis, even if not. I've seen the aftermath of an apprentice joiner losing four fingers to a table saw. Three cut clean off and only the pinkie was left attached by torn up skin.
My uncle was in an accident with a Table saw where the the Blade went down the middle of his left middle finger and split it in half. This would have saved his finger.
I would’ve spent around 7k when I cut my finger but I paid it 80% off that same day so I just spent like 1.2k Si lemme tell you, it is worth it Bc besides u get ur finger messed up, u won’t be able to work for days, and your finger won’t be the same
there is no spring, they use the energy of the blade itself grabbing the aluminum block to throw it below the table. I know that they tried a number of alternatives and this was the only one that worked reliably and fast enough to prevent serious injury which was the point in the first place.

There are SawStop saws at my work. The brake engaged twice. Once it saved a coworkers finger and once it went off when the boss was cutting aluminum bar stock. On another note, the brakes I believe are only sold from a distributor and they take a couple of days to get so it's to your benefit to have a backup to avoid down time. You also need a different brake for dado blades.
Haha. I was watching your video and I knew I've heard your voice somewhere... Lol it was your cortex setup video. I'm a fellow rc guy and I just happened to stuble across two of your videos on the web. Just put my cotex in a edf f16 and wow it sure augments the models stability!

these are legally required in school construction labs where i live. i remember going to construction one day and hearing about a girl who tripped it. she was completely fine, great invention
my year 10 teacher did that too..only a week after it was installed, gotta love this new safety tech
Our schools construction class has 2 of these. Great machines
A lot of people say its too expensive its 160 dollars instead of a finger
i prefer the money tbh
Or just be careful🤣
@@alanr6953 you can always be careful but you can't always be prepared for an accident that might happen so 160 to keep a finger is so much better lots of money for medical bills and a lost finger
I remember it being 60 dollars. Did they increase the price ?
Yea a finger is forever well unless u get it attached or something but that’s gonna cost u a few thousands
but don't let this safety feature make you less careful 👌
I agree with this whole heartily. Hopefully having to spend 80 to 150 dollars, plus take the down time of the unit, and repair work will make to stay safe still.
Underated comment
Are you less careful when driving your car because it has an airbag?
If my grandfather had access to such technology, he would had two more fingers.
Aww, that's unfortunate.
Hope he's good now.
Take care of him and yourself along with your family m8.
Yes, same
Dont worry he is happy in heaven 😂😂😂😂
I remember when this technology was in its infancy. And people criticized it for being a scam and fake. Really glad to see that criticism didn't stop the advance of this wonderful technology.
You're not an idiot and you've done a nice service for other woodworkers. The slow-motion shots are really informative, especially the one showing just how close your fingers came to the blade during the kick back.
You're the only one who has done a high speed test. I'm impressed....
The human heart is a source of electro-magnetism that, even at a few meters away, is detectable by modern scientific instruments. I figured they were tapping into static fields or electric fields (apparently was partially wrong). But even so the human body apparently does emit electric fields.
the other ones were not test
Rama Rakosi most living things emit electric currents. sharks have a sixth sense called electroreception pores in their nose can.detect electric impulses given off by living things from a distance. most aquatic predators have this as visibility is poor in the ocean so they rely on the 6th sense to hunt.
That sausage slap stop is unbelievable.. You can basically hit the sawblade and wouldn't even lose a finger. The future is now.
Linus and this was 7 years ago. Imagine how they have advanced it by now hopefully.
You can slap the blade I watched a kid do it
Destruction or not, id rather kill the blade then losing a finger. Looks more like a automatic emerngency stopper. Like they do with gas stations
Ammonia somehow, you knew what he was saying...

*"I know.. You wanna see the HotDog Thing" 🤣* That is amazing how quick that happens no damage to mr hotdog at all.
In my fabrication course we have 5 of these tables and in 4 weeks it has already saved one dudes finger and one womans forearm. Great technology.
madlarkin8 What were their resulting injuries? Curious how they compare to the tests in this video.
Whoever invented the saw stop is a godsend to all carpenters! Amazing invention
A guy at my shop activated the sawstop just the other day. It saved his finger, and all he needed was a Band-Aid.
What exactly was he trying to cut and how? I'm very curious.
This needs to the be standard. Amazing

It definitely seems worth it if it means you get to keep your fingers

First time I seen someone use a fast impact test, as that was my biggest concern. What an amazing machine. A few stitches over losing a finger...
This isn’t a bad thing it’s actually really good
I worked at a door factory they had 3 of these saws and 3 huge boxes full of those breaks they said they go through a box every 2 years. kinda insane
yeah but still better then going through a box of fingers every 2 years
Straight thru a nail but not a scratch on the sausage
your fingers are warm,damp,and have electrons in them.
Super surprised it went through that nail
If he was touching the nail, yes the brake would of fired. He was touching the sausage, so therefore the brake fired
This is truly impressive
Just think: however expensive a saw stopper is its not as expensive as reattaching a finger.
Not being able to work due to an injury is also super expensive. I just got the jobsite version of this.
It actually only 60$! To replace the parts from sawstop

I saw the saw stop work right in front of my eyes it happened so fast scared me didn't even see the blade soooo fast and impressive.
Great video and narration, I wish more RUclips videos were like this. Short, sweet and no bullshit.
It will only stop unless it detects ground. Wood would have to be dripping with water and be grounded in order for it to activate
To bad they didn't have this when I was going to woodshop in school.
Ya I think the kids would be triggering it on purpose.

You also need a different brake for dado blades.
This is by far and away, the greatest invention for safety in the woodworking industry, in my lifetime.
Those blades and brakes are quite expensive if you jst wanna "try them out." However, they are cheap compare to your fingers.
AMAZING TECHNOLOGY!
...In germany we dont need such things😂 but yeah ... its cool
Thank you again. After hearing Charles Neil experiences after a run in with a saw blade I was certain to get a Saw Stop. NOW I am absolute.
Haha. I was watching your video and I knew I've heard your voice somewhere... Lol it was your cortex setup video. I'm a fellow rc guy and I just happened to stuble across two of your videos on the web. Just put my cotex in a edf f16 and wow it sure augments the models stability!
