Just saw a new show "Time Warp" (I think on Discovery or Science
network).
The hosts go around with an amazing high speed camera capturing all
sorts
of events. Explosions, fire eating, skateboarding,etc. have been some
of
the things I saw. But the latest show had the inventor of Saw Stop
demonstrating the saw.
At first, he used the famous hotdog trick. The hosts then said that
he had to do a real hand and he agreed. He used his finger and of
course,
it worked. Interesting before he touched the blade, he soaked his hand
in water (I think
it was ice water). I guess to make sure his hand was wet and cold?
The show repeats alot, so catch it if you can.

Wouldn't it be just as safe to have the blade disappear into the saw and
not stop it cold? At the speed a saw blade spins, all but the most dull
blades are going to cut through something and not pull something in.

That could never happen. If he could reach the blade with his dick, he would
have been a porn star instead and the Saw Stop would never have been
invented.
So you see, there actually is a place in this world for guys with short
dicks.

I recall a comment once made by some porn star or other "I don't know why

I will be impressed ONLY if he uses his dick. Now THAT would show some
trust in his product.

Probably would depend on the feed rate as well as a shirt sleeve becoming
entangled in the spinning blade. I imaging the Saw Stop designers have
thought about that and would not go the extra step in both engineering and
cost if they did not have a reason.

Nope...it works perfectly fine with dry skin. If you know of a place
with a sawstop, you can try it out. With the motor off but the
electrical system in "test" mode, you can touch the blade with items and
see if it would trigger the safetey feature.
I'm inclined to think the ice was for numbing (so he didn't flinch?) ,
to drive the blood away from the surface, or possibly both.

The energy transferred from the spinning blade as it slams into the
brake is actually what causes it to drop so fast. Conservation of
angular momentum and all that...

Also, if the wood was unnoticeably damp in places it would trip the
mechanism and then there would be the expense of replacing the device.
Anyone who is that careless in the shop in the first place better give up
woodworking.

1 - Blood
The inventor did the hot dog demo first and it didn't even appear to
nick the skin, so I don't know if there would have been blood had it
been his finger.
2 - When the inventor did use his finger, he approached the blade from
the side with the pad of his middle finger - not the way you or I
would normally contact the blade in actual use. I'm not about to run
downstairs and see if I can touch the sides of the teeth on my saw,
but I think the SawStop is much less likely to nick the pad coming in
from the side than it would if the side of your thumb was coming
straight into the teeth.

Yes, he touched the blade with his finger, but I wouldn't consider it to
be a real test. If you noticed, he slowly approached the blade with his
finger, so even if it didn't work, all he would have gotten was a small
nick. A real test would have been having him cut a piece of wood at normal
speed with his finger in the way. But also doing so would have been a
higher risk.
I didn't see it. If it was ice water, I'm guessing that the purpose was to
force blood away from the surface of the hand so even the small nick that

According to the Sawstop web site:
"5. Will cutting green or wet wood activate the SawStop safety system?
SawStop saws cut most wet wood without a problem. However, if the wood
is very green or wet (for example, wet enough to spray a mist when
cutting), or if the wood is both wet and pressure treated, then the wood
may be sufficiently conductive to trigger the brake. Accordingly, the
best practice is to dry wet or green wood before cutting by standing it
inside and apart from other wood for about one day. You can also cut wet
pressure treated wood and other conductive material by placing the saw
in bypass mode."

Never having seen a Sawstop, I don't know exactly how it functions but it is
electrical. Soaking his hand in water was to increase conductivity. So, if
you are going to try to hurt yourself with a Sawstop, make sure you wet your
hands first.
