Incredible safety-saw
We have one in the proto shop. I tried to cut some aluminum honeycomb
stock without disabling the sensor. It's right impressive when it stops things. There is a heavy spring that jams a piece of aluminum into the blade. The stop block has a series of holes in it so that it will both compress slightly and deform quite a bit to absorb the rotational energy. The lab manager took the blade and the newly mangled stop block, made a wall clock out of it for the lab wall. Just a reminder to all concerned. Don't do it very often, IIRC the bill for new parts was about $120 or so. Nick Mueller wrote: Hi! Got a link to this **unbelievable** safety-saw. It immediately stops when you start to cut your finger. Just a little scratch! 8-O Here's a video: http://www.rofl.to/new-safety-saw And here the manufacturer: http://www.sawstop.com/ Now, the most important question: Does it saw brass or alumin(i)um too?

Incredible safety-saw
--FWIW I've been using one for over a year; very impressive piece of
machinery. Nicely designed just from the ergonomic standpoint too; better than Jet or Delta IMO.. -- "Steamboat Ed" Haas : Feeling like Bender in Hacking the Trailing Edge! : a strong magnetic field... www.nmpproducts.com ---Decks a-wash in a sea of words--- |
