Hi all ;

Can anyone provide a somewhat scientific .. yet
simple explanation - of how the saw-stop
_detection_ works ?
I saw a demonstration - and cannot figure out why :
: it works on a finger
: it works on a hot dog - being held by a finger
.. but not on a hot dog that is not held by a finger !

I'm really missing something - and it's driving me crazy !

Not sure what you mean by not on a hot dog that is not held by a
finger. Have you really looked into this at all? Have you asked any
questions of the manufacturer?


It was explained in the seminar but not demonstrated that
if you fed a hotdog into the blade - but not holding it in your hand -
- ie just having the hotdog held between 2 pieces of wood -
the sawstop would not function to stop the blade ...
it would cut the hotdog !
That's what I couldn't understand.
That's what I need to have explained.
Regards ;

Very fair question but... have you posed your question to the manufacturer?
Do you really think you're likely to get the right answer in an internet
newsgroup?


Question the manufacturer - not yet - the seminar was just today.
Valuable info and answers from a usenet group ... you bet !
