SawStop Compact Table Saw

A table saw that retracts its blade when it detects skin is an unusually dramatic safety feature.

A compact table saw with a conductive-sensing safety system: contact with skin triggers an aluminium brake, motor shutdown and blade retraction.

Worth knowing

A useful reality check

The brake system is an additional safeguard, not a substitute for guarding, correct setup and safe table-saw practice.

Our take

Why it caught our eye

The technology is compelling, but the brake is an additional safeguard rather than a replacement for guarding, correct setup and safe table-saw practice.
