Ok we all get links that are preceded with the phrase "dude you gotta see this, it is so cool." Well add this one to the list I might see if I can scare my boss into letting me but one for the shop.

http://www.sawstop.com/ Click on each of the high res videos, you will be truly amazed.

 

Thats sweet!

 

WOW that is awsome. Barely a nic. I want one. Our saw is the devil. LOL

 

Everything is the devil to you mama...... waterboy......

Yea thats sweet, i saw one before that had a gel like brick that stopped the blade. 10 times faster than an airbag!!!!!

 

LOL thats why i said that. I just watched it the other day. LOL Cant sneak anything past you. LOL

 

While I think it is a great Idea, I dont think it will replace proper training and shop use.. I was raised a cabinet maker and was around power tools all of my life.. Safety is the only thing that will prevent accidents.. Just my oppinion.. Safe shooting..

 

OK who is going to volunteer to test it

 

While safety is key, there have been studies that show just like riding a bike, its not a matter of if, but rather when. Safety will help prevent accidents, not prevent. LOL its like the Smokey the bear, or rather Smokey Bear add campaign, only you can prevent forest fires, actually it should read Only you can prevent some of the forest fires by carelessly throwing out cigarette butts and leaving campfires going, but actually you can't prevent lightning or other natural causes of fires......but I guess that was too long for a bumper sticker. Wow where did that come from? I gotta go to lunch, man the coffee is really working overtime, plus after weeks on end it is not raining here in the pacific northwest, completely blue sky, I smell a ride, and it just makes you feel like dancing, and since I hate dancing this is the next best thing. I guess, I don't know I'm just rambling, later all. Sheesh I gotta shut up starting ........now.

 

Deej, put down the pipe. That is an awesome saw tho, amazing how far tech has come

 

Yeah I hear you Deej.. I guess I would rather not want to rely on anything man made to save a finger but I have watched the videos and it is an impressive product.. Safe riding Chris
