SawStop's 10” cabinet saw was developed from the ground up with a particular focus on safety and quality. It features a revolutionary safety system that stops and retracts the blade (within 5 milliseconds) upon accidental contact, drastically reducing the severity of user injury. The safety system provides invisible protection (doesn't interfere with your work), is always “on” and performs continuous self tests. The saw also includes a European style riving knife (secured via a quick-change mount) that helps minimize kick-back.

In the 'Hot Dog Demo' to the right, we are cutting a sheet of plywood or particle board and place a hot dog in the path of the blade to simulate a user's finger. The SawStop system detects contact between the hot dog and the blade of the saw and stops the blade in approximately 5 milliseconds or less, resulting in only a small nick in the skin of the hot dog. For ease in viewing, we have removed the blade guard from the saw, however, we recommend using the blade guard whenever possible for maximum protection.
