[s-cars] NAC: Friday Weakend Safety Theater

[chris chambers]

World's safest table saw!
You just have to see it to believe it!

"SawStop Saws are the most advanced saws in the world. Each saw is
equipped with a safety system that detects when someone accidentally
contacts the spinning saw blade, and then stops the blade in
milliseconds. In most cases, such an accident would result in just a
nick on a SawStop saw, instead of the devastating injury which would
likely occur on an ordinary saw. The photo at the right shows what
happens on a SawStop saw when a hotdog (representing a finger) hits the
spinning blade at a speed of about 1 foot per second. 

The SawStop safety system includes an electronic detection system that
detects when a person contacts the blade. The system induces an
electrical signal onto the blade and then monitors that signal for
changes. The human body has a relatively large inherent electrical
capacitance and conductivity which cause the signal to drop when a
person contacts the blade. Wood has a relatively small inherent
capacitance and conductivity and does not cause the signal to drop."
