Default Saw Stop is unreal
There is an unbelievable video about an invention to stop a spinning table saw from cutting your finger. You have to see this video to believe it.
Check it out.
YouTube - SAWSTOP in TimeWarp

Notice he didn't use his index finger, though...he used his middle finger. He wasn't going to risk the most-used finger!

I think his giving the saw the "finger" in this case was justified. Neat....I want one on my saw!

Ihave a friend that is a blind woodworker and has one and loves it. The first time I stuck my finger in there I was scared to death that it would be the only time it wouldn't work but it did.

LOL I agree Al, most used finger around here too ha ha ..especially in traffic!

I have seen these before, would love to have it on my tablesaw, but they aren't cheap, and when its jammed, you have to pay a good price for another part, blade etc.....cheaper than a finger tho...

The problem is that this isn't available as an upgrade. You need to buy a whole new table saw. And I bet it ain't cheap!!
