We have replaced all of our Table Saws with Stop Saws. Not only are they a great safety improvement, they are a great saw.

Cool Dave!

Now for the obvious question . . . Has anyone intentionally or unintentionally 'put it to the test'?
If so, how did it perform?

We had one instance where a curious person tried the hotdog test. Replacement of the brake and processor as well as the blade was the result. The cost of the saw stop module cost about $60.00 American. It is a good idea to install a key pad access device to keep unauthorized persons from using the saw.

There is a cool clip from the TV Show TimeWarp that shows the inventor trying the saw out on his own finger.
I will try to find it on YouTube to share.

Hi , had heard about the rationale , with respect to band saws in feezing (Abattoir) works but amazing to see it in clip - do you know if there has been any uptake from industries integrating this type of safety feature?

Good question! Darver60 said he has them in his workplace - What industry are you in Darver60?

[Darver60]

Office furniture is our product. Our wood plant and maintenance table saws have been replaced with Saw Stop. Our viewpoint is that since the technology exists it would be a violation of the General Duty Clause and our responsibility to provide a workplace free of known hazards. It is also a great saw.
