Something pre-tensioned that gets released?

obviously i am not talking about using gravity to pull it down...

^ the way it works now, the thing only has to move a milimeter before the blade catches it. if the blade had do drop down and back it would have to move several inches. i dont think theres anything out there that can move something a few inches in 1/1000th of second. and be affordable and reliable. not to mention the force it would require..

Wow this technology would've saved my friend's finger many moons ago. I remember the horror, blood everywhere. Had to help clean up the mess too.

actually...i think as long as the blade pulls back & down faster than your finger is moving forward...that would be fine.

They could have used that at my school when I was in high school. There was one guy who chopped off a full digit in grade 11. You would think he'd learn but in grade 12 he put his hand into the blade once again.

Maybe the school shouldn't let the "slow kids" in the wood shop :fullofwin:

You are still conductive whether or not your hands are wet. If dry hands can operate your iphone, it will operate sawstop.

Now, if they license the technology to someone like Dewalt, it will become the standard in table saws and band saws.

Or they may think they'd like to build their own brand of safe saws, and it will go nowhere.
