SawStop technology works on all types of power woodworking tools. The video demos below illustrate the operation of the SawStop technology on a table saw, a band-saw and a pneumatic up-cut saw.

In our video demonstrations, we are cutting a sheet of plywood or particle board and place a hot dog in the path of the blade to simulate a user's finger. The SawStop system detects contact between the hot dog and the blade of the saw and stops the blade in approximately 5 milliseconds or less, resulting in only a small nick in the skin of the hot dog. For ease in viewing, we have removed the saw guard from the saw in our table saw video demo, however, we recommend using the SawStop system along with physical blade guards for maximum protection.
