Guy Pushes Finger Into Spinning Blade; Invention Stops Blade Related Videos

I think I remember seeing that it stops the blade in 5 milliseconds.
Invention Category: Why??
Likelihood of Production: Slim to Nil
Lawsuit probability: 98.6%
Invention Category: Why?? Talk to my high school woods class teacher.
Likelihood of Production: Slim to Nil Schools will eat these things up quicker than Macs. (see #1)
Lawsuit probability: 98.6% I don't see why... before this invention, they would have lost a finger due to the blade anyways...
The SawStop 10" Cabinet Saw receives a Best Overall rating in the June 2006 Issue of Fine Woodworking magazine.
The SawStop 10" Cabinet Saw receives an Award of Quality for 2006 from Workbench magazine.
Cool invention!!! Wonder if thing becomes a requirement for all saw tools.
Back to Ye Olde Drawing Board. Very cool invention though.
1. Yes, that's a hotdog not a finger. That much is clear before pushing play. Point is, his finger is behind the hotdog.
2. Being an ass is bad karma. Even on the internet.
Not to mention the idiots that WOULD find a way to cut themselves by showing their "safety" invention off.
Not trying to be rude, but you never know what could happen, and far better to be safe than sorry.
ehhhhh huh? I think the liability of a unstoppable spinning blade of death is a magnitude higher than the safteyised one.
and I did not know it was a weiner till I played it twice...and sorry bout yer dad's unfortunate accident, regina, that kickback hurts more folks more often than the blades' edge does with radial saws.
there is massive potential for similar products in highschool shop classes, lumber mills, etc., where staying up too late playing nintendo or missing your morning coffee can lead to lifelong deformity.
The device is already in production, and with the replacement brake units running around $70-$80, even if it triggers itself on a false positive multiple times (supposedly a very rare occurance), it's still cheaper than a lost finger, arm, or worse. There was an article about the technology and the story behind the company in Inc magazine a while back. SawStop produces their own (high quality) tables because the major manufacturers won't license the tech - purportedly because of liability concerns on unprotected products, though it may be due to the licensing fee SawStop is asking.
