Default This is so cool! A 'safety' table saw that detects your finger.

deserved it.


I was thinking of an accident happening through no fault of your own. The
dog comes in and brushes against your leg distracting you. Something falls
off a shelf startling you. A power failure plunges you into darkness and you
slip against the still spinning blade in the dark.

I don't recall anything about Sawstop still working for any length of
time after the power goes out to prevent this. The owners manual
http://www.sawstop.com/Cabinet_Saw_Manual.pdf page 11 of 100 says "To
prevent loss of Sawstop protection during coast down, do not turn off
main power until blade has stopped spinning."
UPS for a table saw?
