SawStop's saws apply atiny low quantity of electrical voltage to the blade of the saw. this through the blade is endlessly monitored.
SawStop If the saw detects a amendment during this current (as would occur if a hand or different piece came into contact with the blade), associate automatic braking system is activated, forcing associate metal brake block into the blade. This metal block is intended to soak up the energy of blade by deforming.
According to the manufacturer, the saw stops in but 5 milliseconds,[2] and momentum retracts the blade into the table. The operator suffers atiny low nick rather than associate amputation or different a lot of serious injury.[3] the planning takes advantage of the distinction in electrical physical phenomenon, between wood and flesh.
