Safety

A table saw accident happens once every nine minutes in North America. SawStop’s revolutionary safety system reduces what could be a potentially life-changing injury into a scratch by stopping the spinning blade on contact with skin.

1 Detect
- The blade carries a small electrical signal.
- When skin contacts the blade, the signal changes because the human body is conductive.
- The change to the signal activates the safety system.
2 STOP
- An aluminum brake springs into the path of the blade.
- The blade comes to a complete stop and power to the motor is shut off.
3 DROP
- After the blade comes to a stop, the blade’s angular momentum drives it beneath the table, removing the risk of subsequent contact.
- All of this happens in less than 5 milliseconds.
4 Reset
- Resetting the saw yourself is easy. Simply inspect the blade (and change if damaged) and replace the brake cartridge, and your saw is operational.
- The entire process takes 90 seconds and you’re back to work.

SawStop Brand Promise

More than 20 years ago, a physicist and passionate woodworker had an idea to make a safer table saw. The result was innovation that changed woodworking forever – a patented safety system that stops the spinning blade on contact with skin.

With this new technology in place, we wanted to set a new standard for what a table saw should be. While others relied on 40-year-old designs, our engineers seized the opportunity to bring saw design, build, and quality into a new era. A saw that is engineered from the ground up to deliver unmatched accuracy, durability, and power. No compromises. From the heaviest, most powerful 10″ Industrial Cabinet Saw, to the portable Jobsite Saw Pro, SawStop has a table saw to fit any woodworker’s needs.

Two Accidents in One Month

Joe M. (woodworker)

Joe, now retired, worked for 30 years as a general contractor. Joe had two accidents in a one month period doing woodworking as a hobbyist. As result of the accident, he no longer has feeling in the tips of his fingers on his left hand, and his right hand appears deformed.
