saving the fingers...

[Christian]

wow check this out.... just saw the pub in the june fine woodworking

[Bill C.]

That's pretty impressive!

[Patrick Fischer]

It is impressive. Wonder what functionality/versatility you have to give up to have it on your saw? Suppose it works at 45 degrees?

[Edwin Pawlowski]

Seems to me the government should demand this to be on all saws for our own protection.

Not another sawstop thread. Geez. Go to google groups and search on "sawstop" and you'll find a vast number of posts.

[J. Clarke]

Supposedly it works fine on the saws that Sawstop sells, and you can't get it any other way.

[J. Clarke]

Oh, now _why_ did you have to say that? Wonder how long _this_ thread is going to go?

[Robatoy]

I'll check with the news group's moderator, but if you also make it mandatory to use larger breakers, for more power....... I think you might have something there.

[Robatoy]

No shit, man. If I hadn't just seen it, I wouldn't have believed it either. You'll need a larger breaker for more power.

[Fly-by-Night CC]

Yaknow wha's cool? When ya watch the video, move the player slider back an' forth and try to get the hotdog through the blade before it drops. I spent hours trying to lop off a piece o'that wiener with no luck - Man! that thing is Andy Griffith "goooo-oood."

[snowdog]

Didn't we just have this 500 message thread conversation?

You girlie mahns might be the consistency of wieners but I am more like red oak so I guess I am screwed either way. *sigh* I guess I'll just have to be crazy and keep my fingers out of the blade.

Your kind -deserves- the gov't it gets, Edwin.

More power is dangerous, so the gov't will mandate 5-amp maximum breaker size "for our own protection." Just like England outlawed dado blades. (Tell us how you like that, Andy, et al.)

[woodworker88]

They had this in This Old House a couple years ago. I'll look up the exact article.

[Dave Hinz]

"Click here to place a non-binding preorder for your SawStop cabinet saw. SawStop will fill pre-orders in the order received."

After all this time, you still don't recognize when Ed is being sarcastic?

Hint: Much of the time. He's my kind of fellow.

Patience, Dave, patience. When they get enough orders to make it profitable they will make another demo machine to sell, unless the government mandates that everyone must retrofit their saw with the WeenieSaver.

Hmm - brings up a question - if you cook the weenie first will it still stop he blade?

Inquiring minds want to know.

[Upscale]

Of course not. At that point, the saw-stop turns into a slice and dice machine suitable for any modern kitchen. Before you can say "Shazzam", your cooked weenie is filleted and spread out like a butterfly pork chop ready for all the accoutrements and garnishes.
