Spiel Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 ....A friend here on the board e-mailed me this some time ago and I thought I'd share it. All I can say wow, this guys invention is definitely got what it takes to be mandatory equipment on table saws! SawStop
Bernie Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 First time you saw a damp board . WHAMMO! Good idea though.
forrest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 That is an amazing invention! Its a great failsafe, it even has consequences ($$$$) if the safety is engaged so people are encouraged to still have to be careful. forrest
forrest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 First time you saw a damp board . WHAMMO! Good idea though. I never thought about that. My table saw scares me to death so I avoid wet wood. Being scared is a great safety too. forrest

Greencoachdog Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 First time you saw a damp board . WHAMMO! Good idea though. There's 2 things in this world I really hate... and one of them is wet lumber!!!
Spiel Posted December 17, 2008 Author Report Posted December 17, 2008 There's 2 things in this world I really hate... and one of them is wet lumber!!! And what would the other be Glen, soft wood?
muskyhunter5150 Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 thats got to go into every high school shop class! Yea that is a good idea a kid from a high school here in Peterborough chopped all 4 of his fingers off about 3 weeks ago. That invention could have prevented it.
Leecher Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Thanks Spiel for the amazing video.... A great invention for sure and it should be installed on all table saw
Guest gbfisher Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) A friend of mine had a buddy over to his shop to cut up some wood. Pack-All International (Canada) Inc at derry and Torbram. I have to say it better at $300 a pop than a finger. The blade didn't even leave a scratch. The comment about damp wood is also correct. That can add up.... Edited December 17, 2008 by gbfisher
Gerritt Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 That system has been around for sometime now.. I remember seeing it about two years ago I think on sale @ Normand woodworking... a good system for sure... but it is not a saw many contractors would ever want to use... imagine replacing the module constantly?? nawwww... Good idea for the average joe though!.. And as for the comment about being scared of a tool? If you are scared to use do not use it.. nothing spells disaster quicker then someone who is nervous about a certain power tool... Get a buddy who is more comfortable with the tool.... All to often I have seen people let their nerves get the best of them.... that is when accidents happen. Here is a tip for chisels... the really dangerous chisels are dull ones... So no... you cannot use my 600.00 Chisel set.... Great link Chris, G.
Joey Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 Man, he's a brave lad. Cool video Chris. Joey
Greencoachdog Posted December 17, 2008 Report Posted December 17, 2008 And what would the other be Glen, soft wood? People that hate inanimate objects... which is kinda screwed up because I have to hate myself!
