We’ve all heard about the technology behind the SawStop tablesaw. A lot of us have even seen the famed hot dog video somewhere on the internet. I’m happy a tool like this exists. I’m especially happy that we have a SawStop back in the shop here at the office. But I have to be honest; I always questioned whether the SawStop would really work if my finger slipped into the blade. Well, after watching this video my skepticism has been quelled. The inventor, Steve Gass, demonstrates how the saw works with his own finger. Do any of you have the SawStop? Has anyone tripped the stopping mechanism? This video is wild.
