SawStop
SawStop is a table saw manufacturer headquartered in Tualatin, Oregon, USA. The company was founded in 2005 to sell table saws that feature a patented automatic braking system that stops the saw within milliseconds if its blade comes in contact with the operator's hand or other body part.
SawStop's revolutionary saws apply a small amount of electric current to the blade of the saw. This current is continuously monitored. If the saw detects a change in this current (as would occur if a hand or other body part came into contact with the blade) an automatic braking system is activated, forcing an aluminum brake block into the blade. The saw stops within five milliseconds and retracts into the table preventing injury. Visit Sawstop.com for more info.
