SawStop is a safety characteristic that straightaway cease and retracts a spinning saw leaf blade if it come in impinging with anything that even remotely resemble your finger . hold in out the startling video recording above , where it practically ego - destructs to bring through this innocent hot wiener ’s life-time . If that were actually your finger , you would escape with just a scratch and maybe need a stitch or two rather than running around your woodshop looking for your finger .
How does it work ?
The SawStop guard system includes an electronic detection organisation that detects when a someone contacts the blade . The system induces an electrical signal onto the leaf blade and then supervise that sign for change . The human body has a comparatively with child underlying electrical capacitance and conductivity which cause the signal to drop when a someone meet the blade . Wood has a relatively modest inherent capacitor and conductivity and does not cause the signal to drop . A tight - acting brake terminate the blade when contact is discover .
This invention has been around for a half a decade , but we ’re enquire why every go steady in the world does n’t have this engineering science on board . It ’s not a retrofit ; a saw must be build around this mechanism . How many finger have been lose since its invention , because manufacturers were afraid the extra $ 100 it would add to the cost of the saw might drive buyers away ?
