I truly believe in Saw Stops technology in the prevention of injuries using a table saw. I have seen a lot of advertisement and watched the demo’s and to this day am amazed how well it works. I also have read many of the comments made from many wood workers most positive and some oh well what we can say. Safe use of any power tool is of the utmost important criteria that must be taken before turning on the switch. I still have all my fingers with a few nicks here and there from close calls which were from stupid mistakes, a mental lax of this machine can harm me unless you treat it with respect. Metal and skin do not compete well at all, skin will lose every time. When I go to wood working Shows and watch demonstrations using tables saw showing off some attachment or how well a blade performs cutting some soft wood I cringe because of the way the person is handling the piece of wood as they are running it through the saw. I have seen their fingers less than a half inch away from a spinning blade time and time again. Thank goodness I haven’t seen any fingers saw off ”yet”, actually many times I just can’t stay and watch because of the poor use of safety. Sad thing is this is showing many people how they can use a saw and gives a idea of how safe saws are, falsely so, they are only as safe as the operator using them since they have no brains, the closest thing to having a saw with brains would be Saw Stop. By the way I don't use a table saw even though I have a hand-me-down contractors saw (collecting dust), I can't spring for a Saw Stop I use my old radial arms saw, hand saw and shaper, so far I been doing fine making furniture and many other projects, but am handy capped because of it. I still have my fingers and hands attached.
