Nick C. describes his table saw injury After four different surgeries with one more to go, Nick now has moderate use of his right hand. While working on a home project, Nick had a major accident resulting in the amputation and replacement of three of his fingers. Purchasing the table saw that amputated his fingers, Nick decided that with over 40 years of woodworking experience he didn't have to worry about a table saw accident and opted against a SawStop because of money.

SawStop | Brandan S. describes his table saw injury Brandan, a physical therapist from Omaha, Nebraska, had an accident using a table saw on a Saturday afternoon. He was in his home after an Easter Egg hunt with his family. As result of this accident, Brandon's index finger has been amputated and he does not have the same articulation and grip strength in his three other primary fingers on his right hand. Brandon grew up in a woodworking family and worked his way though school as a finish carpenter. Follow us on http://www.facebook.com/sawstop. Learn more on http://www.sawstop.com.

Amputation of Finger

Hobbyist: "It flung my finger. I couldn't turn the saw off because I was in shock."

​The Facts

In the United States alone, over 65,000 people are victims of table saw accidents each year. The impact on the victim is substantial and in some ways immeasurable. OSHA estimates that the cost to a business of a single amputation is more than $130,000 on average. But these numbers do not take into account the pain of the accident, the ER visit, the surgeries and years of physical therapy.

There is no measure for the regret a business owner, supervisor or teacher has knowing they allowed those in their care to be placed in harm’s way. The simplest fact is that SawStop is the only engineered solution to reduce these tragedies to a band-aid and a new brake cartridge and blade.

Notice

Effective February 1st, USA prices on most SawStop saws and many SawStop accessories will increase.

We continue to refuse to cut corners or compromise our dedication to product quality and customer care. After holding the line on prices for over a decade, we must make an adjustment to account for more than a decade of material, shipping and other cost increases. Our last price increase on saws was in 2008!

We don't like raising our prices, and we don't plan to make it a habit.

Price increases will vary by model and accessory. Some examples, expect the Contractor Saw to increase by $100, the Professional Cabinet Saw to increase by $150, and the Industrial Cabinet Saw to increase by $150-200 (the Jobsite Saw will not increase).

Thank you for your understanding and your support. For more information on expected price increases, please contact your local SawStop dealer.

Thank you,
Your friends at SawStop
